The three Squad Leader Unlocks can only be used by Squad Leaders. Anyone can
unlock them, but only Squad Leaders with a squad of a certain size are allowed
to use them. (4)

The five player ability unlocks can be unlocked as any other weapon or item.
The difference is, once unlocked they are always equipped and not a part of
the customization. (5)

On the Kit Customization screen - you can choose between light or heavy body
armor. The heavy armor reduces the sprint capacity, so it's not all good with

When you are promoted during a round, you can choose the unlock at the End of
Round or - if you are in a hurry to get back to the fighting - wait and do
this later on in BFHQ. (7)

troops. (11)

available in the Unlocks section of BFHQ. (12)

they can be very effective in guarding important areas or paths. (20)

them extra hard to welcome them to the future. (30)

You can have up to four (4) Soldiers with their own persistence per EA
Account. If you would like to create a fifth Soldier, you will have to delete

breakfast for all of your freshly spawned squad. (35)

locations. However, soldiers will be dropped in pods, so it is not the most
stealthy spawn. (36)

Titan Commanders should be careful to avoid putting their Titan directly over
a missile silo, as it will hit their Titan even if it was aimed for the enemy.

with the awards you receive - add to your experience and help you climb the
ranks. (45)

permanently. (47)

its strengths and weaknesses. (5

further and recuperate from a sprint faster. However, light armor provides
less protection. (59)

Visual disturbances and electronic sounds might be signs of a Recon soldier
using the IT-33 Active Camouflage in your immediate vicinity. Use an EMP
grenade to reveal them. (60)

Battlefield. Each infantry type has its own speciality. Practise with your
squad members to get the best use out of the system. (63)

enemy is in your visual range. (64)
