About This Content

Welcome to Fireteam

Fireteam is a PvE tactical shooter game mode for up to five players that condenses the core essence of the Squad experience into shorter, replayable missions. Communication, teamwork, and coordination remain vital to mission success in Fireteam. However, rather than playing on teams of 50 in matches of 100 players, the focus is on quicker missions of varying objectives for smaller teams.

Easy to Play with Friends

Looking for a few quick rounds of intense military gameplay? With Fireteam, there’s no waiting in server queues and no need to sort by ping. Matchmaking is done via peer-to-peer connection with friends. Choose to host a game, or join a friend’s. 

PvE: Up to 5 Players

While Squad is known for its larger teams of 50 soldiers, Fireteam distills the experience for up to 5 players. This makes more room for experimentation, providing a lower-stakes environment for learning roles, practicing squad leading, and trying new tactics with less pressure. Tighter, condensed missions allow you to hop in and play again and again. Got a strategy you’d like to test before heading into a full game of Squad? Wanting to experiment with a new kit or thinking about giving Squad Leader a go? Try it out in Fireteam first.

Clear Mission Objectives

Squad is a game of immeasurable depth and complexity. For Fireteam, we sought to create an experience welcoming new players not only to Squad, but also the genre. Objectives are clearly defined from the onset, regardless of which mission type you find yourself playing. This also makes Fireteam an ideal starting point for players interested in learning more about the broader scope of Squad. While welcoming to newcomers, Fireteam is also a refreshing new way to play Squad, even for seasoned players. Don’t have the hours to commit to longer campaigns, but are still looking for intense military combat on a smaller scale? Boot up a few rounds of Fireteam and get your fix.
