Co-op Etiquette & Team Tactics

Short, memorable rules to keep PUGs smooth and friends friendly.

5 rules of calm squads

  1. Stay in earshot: If your teammate’s name tag is gray, you’re too far.
  2. Say your plan: “Dropping ammo after this door, hold here.”
  3. Ping first: Mark threats and loot before typing/voice.
  4. Own a lane: Hold left, right, or mid; rotate only on call.
  5. Revive smart: Stun → smoke/fire → then revive.
