Squad Basic Training Guide
by Autumn🎖 Squad Basic Training Guide
(Complete English Edition with Visual Reference)
1. Introduction
Squad is a tactical first-person shooter (FPS) focused on teamwork, communication, and coordination.
Unlike traditional shooters, victory in Squad depends on strategy and cooperation, not individual skill.
2. Core Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Factions | Each match has two opposing sides (e.g., US Army vs. Russian Forces, Insurgents vs. Militia). |
| Squad | Teams consist of up to 9 players led by a Squad Leader (SL). |
| Commander | The highest-level leader of a team; can call in airstrikes, supplies, or artillery support. |
| Objectives | Capture and defend control points on the map to drain the enemy’s tickets and win. |
3. Basic Controls
WASD – Move
Right Mouse – Aim
Left Mouse – Fire
R – Reload
1–3 – Switch weapons
B – Squad Voice (Squad Chat)
V – Local Voice (Proximity Chat)
G – Open Map
T – Team Radio (for leaders & coordination)
🎧 Mic is crucial! Squad without communication is nearly impossible to play effectively.
4. Roles and Responsibilities
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Squad Leader (SL) | Builds bases, gives orders, marks enemy positions, and coordinates strategy. |
| Rifleman | Standard infantry; provides ammo and supports teammates. |
| Medic | Revives and heals downed soldiers — the most critical role in a squad. |

5. FOBs, HABs, and Rally Points

| HAB (Habitation) | A respawn structure built near the FOB for the whole team. |
| Rally Point | A temporary spawn point only usable by your squad; placed by the SL. |
⚙️ Construction Process:
Squad Leader places the blueprint.
Teammates use shovels to build it.
6. Combat Tactics
Always follow your Squad Leader.
Communicate enemy positions (e.g., “Enemy, bearing 120, behind the tree!”).
Stay in cover and move strategically.
Don’t give up immediately when downed — wait for the Medic.
Capturing and defending points is more important than kills.
