==Squad== [[File:Squad.png|thumb|The squad menu.]] [[Squad]]mates form an important part of battlefield tactics. Using them effectively can make the difference between victory and defeat. Players can choose two squadmates to take on the squad tab of the [[loadout]] screen. This can be done from a [[forward station]] or while launching into a [[mission]]. A squadmate will be locked into certain missions when they are critical to the story. Each squadmate is represented by an icon at the bottom of the HUD. The icon flashes red when they take damage. When the icon becomes a skull, they've been knocked unconscious. Other icons can indicate when the squadmate has received orders. When a squadmate is knocked unconscious, a red down arrow icon [[File:Tutorials - Revive Icon.png|21px]] appears to show where they are. Move to them and hold '''''(button)''''' to revive them. Any downed squadmates will revive automatically once a battle ends. Squadmates level up when the player does. Players can manually invest their skill points or press '''''(button)''''' to automatically level them up on the Skills screen. The choices made while leveling up the squad will open up different opportunities on the battlefield. Squadmates and/or [[Ryder]] can be set to auto-level on the [[Settings]] screen. The most powerful (Rank 6) skills for each squadmate isn't available until their loyalty is earned through the completion of a [[loyalty mission]]. ===Squad commands=== While squadmates can operate on their own, they decide which skills are best for a given situation, learning to command them effectively will grand a large tactical advantage. The following orders may be issued to a squad in the field: * '''Attack''' - While aiming at a target, press '''''(button)''''' to order the left-hand squadmate to attack that target, '''''(button)''''' for the other squadmate, or both with '''''(button)'''''. * '''Defend''' - While aiming at a location, press '''''(button)''''' to order the left-hand squadmate to defend that position, '''''(button)''''' for the other squadmate, or both with '''''(button)'''''. They will use available cover near the targeted spot. * '''Rally''' - Hold '''''(button)''''' to tell the left-hand squadmate to stop what they're doing and return, '''''(button)''''' for the other squadmate, or both with '''''(button)'''''.
