Heavy specialization guide

What Heavy does

The squad anchor: built to survive pressure, hold exposed space, and draw attention away from fragile allies.

The official role describes the job, not a mandatory weapon or fixed squad. Standard Specializations can support different Operators and can be adjusted at The Den as the campaign develops.

Field strengths

• High survivability
• Enemy attention control
• Stable front line

Planning risks

• Mobility can be a constraint
• Damage is not the only measure of value

Squad fit

Supports Sharpshooters, Scouts, and Medics by making the front of the battlefield more predictable.

Before committing Focus Points

• Name the job this Operator performs on the current squad.
• Check whether the weapon AP cost supports that job.
• Identify which teammate creates the opening this role needs.
• Preserve a recovery or retreat plan before moving forward.
