The team that wins a wipe is usually not the best shooters, but the most organized. A disciplined trio outperforms a scattered five-stack.
Set simple roles
When everyone tries to do everything, nobody does it well. Split roles at wipe start:
- Builder: base plan, TC, upkeep and expansion.
- Route leader: drives the farm and monument loop.
- Resource lead: organizes boxes and tracks craft priority.
Roles are not rigid, but with one person responsible, things do not stall.
Short, clear callouts
The most common comms mistake is talking too long. Fix a callout format for fights: direction + distance + count + weapon. Example: "north, 40 meters, two players, AK." Save the rest for after the fight.
Bind push-to-talk somewhere comfortable so your reflexes stay clean:
bind t "+voice". An always-open mic drowns critical moments.
Shared economy
- Everyone should know where valuables and explosives are.
- Make the next objective explicit: raid, kit, or monument?
- Do not pool all loot on one player; if they die, the team falls behind.
Base and defense
A team base scales differently than a solo one: more TC authorization, more honeycomb, and electric doors/turrets via the electricity guide. Know raid costs with the base building guide.
Picking the right team limit matters too; choose a server that fits your real group size on the servers page.
