Phantom Squad

The Phantom Squad is a unit of officially KIA operatives tied to no country and dedicated to combatting terrorism anywhere on the planet by any means necessary. Players play as a member of the Phantom Squad, with each team member playing a different role – led by the player's choice of weapons and gadgets. Players can work together online across a number of missions with different and intense objectives and environments, neutralize key figures, extract hostages, infiltrate enemy bases, and more. Before each mission, players work together to plan and strategize how to complete the mission.

Once the mission commences, players will work on the fly, as gunplay, gadgets, and reactive decisions will dictate the success or failure of the mission. Communicate with your squad by using real-time collaborative tools and voice chat, gather intel using tactical gadgets, annotate mission area maps, and draw paths and blind spots. Phantom Squad provides players the tools to craft and execute flawless plans and strategies. However, things don't always go as planned, and once all hell breaks loose, players will shoot their way to completion with the precise and intuitive controls in Phantom Squad.

  • Planning & Strategy: Scout routes, mark objectives, and set and exit points before each mission. Engage in direct combat or prioritise stealth, you call the shots on how to finish the job.
  • Real-Time Tactics: Issue real-time commands to the squad, directing them to take cover, hold positions, and engage specific enemies. Your commands can ensure your squad finishes the mission intact, or put them in the enemy's line of fire.
  • Gadgets & Equipment: Utilize cameras, door wedges and other specialised tools in the Phantom Squad's arsenal to transform how each mission plays out, giving the squad options beyond direct confrontation and rewarding careful use of resources.
  • Co-op Teamwork: Join other players online to form the optimal Phantom Squad. Each member of the squad has a specialized role, making team composition key to executing specific strategies.
