Phantom Squad
The Phantom Squad consists of operatives officially declared KIA, with no allegiance to any nation, dedicated to fighting terrorism across the globe by any means necessary. Players will take on the role of a Phantom Squad member, with each team member fulfilling a distinct function – dictated by the selections of weapons and gadgets by the player. Players can synergize online across multiple missions with varying and challenging objectives and settings, neutralizing key targets, extracting hostages, infiltrating enemy installations, and much more. Prior to each mission, players will collectively develop plans and strategies for mission completion.
Once the mission begins, players will have to adapt, as gunplay, gadgets, and responsive choices will influence the mission’s success or failure. Communicate with your squad using real-time collaborative tools and voice chat, gather intelligence using tactical gadgets, annotate mission area maps, and outline routes and blind spots. Phantom Squad equips players with the resources to devise and implement flawless plans and tactics. Nevertheless, as not everything may go as expected, players will need to push through challenges with precision and intuitive controls in Phantom Squad.
- Planning & Strategy: Survey paths, mark objectives, and designate points of entry and exit before each mission. Choose to engage in direct combat or focus on stealth; the strategic approach is up to you.
- Real-Time Tactics: Convey live commands to the squad, directing them to seek cover, hold ground, and confront specific foes. Your directives can preserve your squad’s mission integrity or potentially expose them to enemy fire.
- Gadgets & Equipment: Employ cameras, door wedges, and other specialized instruments from the Phantom Squad’s inventory to influence how each mission unfolds, offering the squad options beyond straightforward confrontation and rewarding judicious resource deployment.
- Co-op Teamwork: Connect with other players online to form the ultimate Phantom Squad. Each squad member plays a specialized role, thereby making team composition crucial for executing specific strategies.
