Patch and access
Install Patch 1, confirm the console online subscription if needed, and make sure every squad member is on the same current version.
- 02
Fill a squad job
Start with damage, heavy ordnance, control, weak-point pressure or support; pick the role the other Marines do not already cover.
- 03
Validate the loadout
Give each weapon slot a job and check that every ability modifier physically touches its ability on the perk grid.
- 04
Run a baseline
