What is confirmed
- The match contains teams much larger than a normal party.
- Squad communication and UI are part of the published team structure.
- Squads can lock vehicles to control access.
What this means for players
Use a squad to create a complete action: transport plus passengers, infantry plus medical support, or armor plus nearby protection. A squad marker is useful only when members can understand the intent behind it.
Vehicle locking can protect a plan but can also strand useful teammates if used carelessly. Lock shared assets for a real crew or operation, not simply to claim ownership.
Until the live UI is available, avoid publishing a numeric squad cap based on one screenshot or another game's convention.
What is not confirmed yet
- Final squad-size limit.
- Party-to-squad assignment and leadership tools.
- Detailed vehicle lock permissions and override rules.
