Tactical interaction

Clearing Cover with Rockets and Explosives

Rocket launchers and explosives can remove enemy cover.

Developer example

Battlefield idea

Opening the target can improve the rest of the squad's turn, so action order matters.

The tactic is strongest when it solves the active objective or removes a threat that would otherwise consume more squad actions.

Sequence

  1. Locate the enabling unit, item or terrain feature.
  2. Check range and line of sight.
  3. Act with the enabler before the damage or control unit.
  4. Re-evaluate the board before spending the remaining AP.

Abort conditions

  • The setup exposes Hawks to mission failure.
  • The target is irrelevant to the objective.
  • The action cost blocks extraction or rescue.

Evidence limit

EA confirms the interaction as a viable example, not a guaranteed best move on every map. Exact numerical efficiency will be measured after launch rather than reverse-engineered from footage.

Source and evidence boundary

The direct answer on this page is grounded in a first-party publication. It does not convert unreleased values, inferred story beats or marketing footage into confirmed gameplay data. Any development-stage value will be checked again against the launch build.
