Engaging EnemiesĪny time you or a teammate opens fire on an enemy, a marker will appear over the enemy's head showing their exact locations for several seconds. If you find yourself in a bit of a lull, it's often best to toss your only remaining grenades, which forces your supple to be renewed, giving you two more (or one more than you had).

As such, this means you may find yourself in situations where you only have a single-grenade available.

Restock Sooner! Although ammo is replenished whenever you reload, grenades only respawn when you've thrown both. In addition, if you're part of a squad, you can actually respawn at any of your squad members locations by switching to 'Squad Spawn' in the same way, then using the right-stick to select the specific squad member you'd like to respawn next to (their location will be marked on the map).

To do so, simply switch to 'Flag Spawn' (from Auto-Spawn') by tapping the button shown on-screen then use the right-stick to select a location on the mini-map. However, as your team takes control of capture-points, you can choose to spawn at any in your teams possession. SpawningĪt the start of a round, you automatically spawn at either your team's home base or aircraft carrier, depending on the map-these locations cannot be captured by the enemy.
