Overwatch

This page contains general information for Overwatch.

Unless it is explicitly stated, everything from Civil Protection transfers over to this faction, including protocols, breaching policies, use of deadly force and so forth.

Deployment

Overwatch operates under the ratio system.

During GREEN/preserved socio-stability, for every 4 Civil Protection units there can be only 2 Overwatch soldiers.

This number goes up by 1 whenever the socio-stability level increases. Meaning Judgment Waiver will allow the ratio to be 4:5.

General Information

Note: Tasks are subjected to change depending on the map rotation.

Overwatch forces patrols and guards the control sections to ensure that no outland biotics and scavengers are lurking in restricted zones.

You should completely avoid entering the residential district unless you are responding to a call.

Overwatch acts as an armed response team to backup Civil Protection units during conflicts. Note: Unless directly called upon by Civil Protection, you should never respond to code 3 waypoints or inquire about their affairs over tac comms. Mind your own business.

Remember to review Terminal Verdict policies before making a harsh decision. Seeing someone flee into canals does not give you the right to shoot at them. Always keep in mind that your AR2 pulse rifle's alternate fire option will force citizens to surrender.

Outside Judgement Waiver or Fractured (RED) socio-stability, keep out of infested zones and sewage tunnels.
