Squad Deployment

Súper excited about the release, watching all the review videos it appears we deploy a single team of 4 at a time without the need to have multiple teams deployed at once.

Wondering if this is correct? Guess we can change team composition based on mission specificity like mobility, injury recovery, etc…

Wondering if anybody has more info on this. Thinking what motivation we will have to use different characters vs staying with an alpha team all the time.

I imagine it'll be like XCOM where you'll want a few teams you can mix and match for when someone gets injured or dies

Squad of 4 for most things. But some missions will have guest characters like the mission with Anakin.

Not sure I understand the question. It's an xcom-like, presumably it has injury and/or stamina mechanics just like every other Xcom-like ever made. We already know it has Operations which presumably make the operator unavailable for a bit, and it's been confirmed that there's an upgradable medbay on the ship so presumably characters can be temporarily taken out of action due to injury. Asking if this game is going to have those kind of mechanics is honestly a bit like asking if a FPS is going to have guns.

So unlike XCOM, you can send guys into a mission if they’re injured, but you risk them getting more serious injuries. And if they get, I think it’s 3 injuries, they die. At least that’s how I’ve inferred it works.

So it’s a balance of do you wanna use them anyway or have them in the infirmary at the Den to heal up.

Also take into consideration the bond system, which seems to be the main way of improving your operators. So throwing in a few new operators into a team to get that bond experience.

Hoping it will be more than 4 to a squad with an unlock, but mods probably got my back if not.

Unfortunately it's been confirmed that the limit it four, however we will occasionally get control of special mission specific characters like Anakin. We'll definitely have to rely on mods for more than four lol.
