We are thrilled to announce that the next faction to be added to Squad will be the Turkish Land Forces (TLF). If you are participating in our public playtests you might have already played them and we are thankful for your feedback.
The Turkish Land Forces faction comes with a few unique tools in their arsenal, distinguishing itself by making use of a combination of unique domestic equipment and a smaller mix of equipment from other nations. Their equipment is a mix of unique, domestically produced weapons/vehicles as well as older-generation western equipment. As a faction, they do not have a particular strategic strength but instead have the tools to overcome any situation.
Infantry Kits
They have a few noticeable differences for their infantry kits:
- No dedicated heavy anti-tank role.
- More light anti-tank roles than other factions.
- Two grenadier variants, one with an underslung grenade launcher and another with a standalone semi-automatic grenade launcher, the MKE MGL unique in its kind.
- A machinegunner in the “direct combat” roles, a unique trait to their faction.
- A special Jandarma role, equipped with the SAR 109T Submachine Gun, our first modern SMG in Squad.
