What is Recon?

Recon finds sightlines, identifies movement, and turns that into a short call. The useful overlook sees a reinforcement route, a vehicle approach, or the edge of the capture. Extreme range that cannot see the objective is not recon.

FAQ

Recon questions

Do NATO unlocks carry to PACT?

No. Public class guides say progress and purchases stay on the faction where you bought them. The Spetsgruppa A / PSSE-B pass is the documented exception that covers a kit on each side, and you still select the kit the menu enables.

Are the 1.0 card prices current?

Radioman at 30,000 and Crewman at 15,000 match the 26 September 2026 changelog. Other card prices were not restated there. The 2 October 2026 listing update did not print a new price list, so the spawn menu wins.

Is Medic an eighth role?

Current role lists name seven families. Version 1.0 cards file American Medic and Soviet Medic as specialized kits at 5,000, with a medic bag, and some directories still group them with Rifleman.
