Checked July 25Fact → implication
| Official fact | The standard squad limit can reach four Operators, though some missions let players control additional characters. |
|---|---|
| Campaign or combat implication | Four is the normal deployment planning number, not an absolute cap for every scripted encounter. |
Recommended interpretation
- Build four-role cores for normal missions.
- Expect mission-specific allies or extra controlled units in some scenarios.
- Do not assume headquarters capacity and deployed squad size are the same system.
