Scout, medic, builder: the roles every squad ends up with
Even games without classes create roles. Knowing them makes nights smoother.
1The scout
Goes ahead, finds the route, gets into trouble first. Useful in every game, from caves to open seas.
2The builder
Happy to stay at base and make it better. In Valheim, Grounded and Raft this player keeps the whole crew alive.
3The medic
Watches health bars and revives people. In Left 4 Dead 2 and Risk of Rain 2 this role decides most runs.
4The navigator
Reads the map, sets goals and keeps the group from splitting up. On a Sea of Thieves ship or a Barotrauma submarine this is a full-time job.
5Let roles rotate
Swap roles between sessions. Everyone learns the game faster and nobody gets stuck with the boring job.
