The gameplay you came for
What we're carrying into Ops 86.
Deliberate movement. Weapons that reward control. Teammates worth fighting to bring home. Here's how those familiar ideas play out in your hands.
Settle your sights.
Your stance, breathing, and exertion affect your sight picture. Get low for stability, control your breathing, and learn your weapon's recoil. Steadiness tells you how settled your aim is.
Catch your breath.
Sprinting and jumping spend stamina. Exertion lingers after the burst, so reaching cover is only half the move: give yourself time to recover before taking a precise shot.
Make the shot count.
Hit detection follows the animated body, including its extended shape when prone. Swapping a partially used magazine preserves its remaining rounds—manage what you have left.
Fight for the objective.
Plant and protect the bomb, defend the site, or get in for the defuse. Eliminate the opposing team when the opportunity comes. Switch sides and fight for seven round wins.
Treat the injury. Protect the rescue.
Bandage yourself to stop bleeding, or have a teammate provide more effective treatment. Revive downed teammates while your squad covers the rescue. Supplies are limited, and medical support earns more points than a kill.
Deny the return.
Secure a downed enemy to prevent their revival. Getting close and completing the interaction means exposing yourself—have someone watch your back.
Know who you're shooting.
Friendly fire carries consequences. Forgive a teammate's mistake, while repeated unforgiven damage can remove an unsafe player from the match.
Keep heads down. Share the contact.
Incoming rounds disturb your aim; cover gives you room to recover. Spot an enemy to share their last known position and help teammates respond.
Choose your kit, not a grind.
Pick your weapons, sights, sidearm, and utility without unlocking a combat advantage through rank. Progress records your contribution; your decisions win the fight.
A live grenade is still in play.
Throw it or roll it. Nudge one away with your feet, knock it aside with a melee strike, or use Interact to pick it up and toss it back. The fuse keeps burning through every move.
Make the sacrifice.
Throw yourself onto a live grenade to shield your squad from the blast. It's a final act of teamwork—giving your life so they have a chance to keep fighting.
Give every grenade a job.
Use frags to threaten cover, smoke to conceal a crossing or rescue, and flashbangs to disrupt defenders before your team moves in.
Your squad. Your decisions. Your round.
