What a group gives you#
- Deploying together. Everyone in your group within 60 m of whoever deploys lands beside them. Deploy & extract.
- No friendly fire. You can't damage a member of your own group.
- Each other on the map, and a shared set of markers.
- The territory list. A base's generator authorises up to three players — the size of a group, by design. Territory and upkeep.
The rules that go with it#
- Maximum 3 per group, online and offline — the cap is on the people you play with, not on who happens to be logged in.
- No rotations. Permanent swaps only, and a player who leaves your group may not rejoin later.
- No alliances or teaming with other groups, and no paying for services — transport, C4 for another team, raid protection. Face-to-face trading with anyone outside your group happens at a trader; meeting a stranger in the field to hand over gear counts as teaming. The player market is always fine.
A group that goes quiet for 30 days is removed.
