Extraction matters

At least one squad member must extract to complete the mission and retain collected Weapon Parts. Equipment choices should support your squad’s objective, not just individual eliminations.

04

Why there is no tier list here

These are roles, not rankings. A defensible tier list needs current balance information and repeatable playtesting. Pick a role to explore, then compare what your squad needs after a few missions.
