Read the complete guide ↗A fortification should solve a particular battlefield problem. Plan its view, access and fallback before investing attention in construction, then check whether teammates can actually use the result under the current Control Zone conditions.
Read the complete guide ↗Destroying cover changes the battlefield for everyone nearby. Before using a destructive option, connect the intended opening to the infantry movement, observation or objective action it is supposed to enable, and warn teammates about the new exposure.
