Coordinating Your Fireteam

If the squad leader puts you and other marines in a fire team. You are expected to follow the orders they give you. You'll need to have your team follow you to accomplish the squad leader's orders. Remember to communicate with your squad leader and use fire support elements when available to you.

Abilities: Orders

You will only gain the ability to use these orders once you have been set as the Acting Squad Leader, when your Squad Leader perishes.


Orders are a timed active ability that characters trained in leadership can activate. The duration of the ability is related to how high the character's leadership skill is, an example being that the Commanding Officer's order will last longer than a Squad leader's order. The leadership skill also determines the intensification of the ability, the higher it is, the more intense the effects of the order are on surrounding players. Note that these abilities do not stack and that the abilities cover your visual view range and no further.

Orders: Description:
Issue Orders-Move.png
Move!
Increased mobility and chance to dodge projectiles.
Issue Orders-Hold.png

Increased resistance to pain and combat wounds.
Issue Orders-Focus.png
