Smoke, grenades and heavy weapons

Smoke grenades block both human and AI sightlines, helping conceal movement. Horde Supply Caches also offer Frags and Incendiaries, alongside equipment such as sentries and decoys. Grenades and equipment share an inventory slot.[1][5]

Heavy weapons slow your movement but allow most traversal actions. You can rip them from turret bases, and Horde lets you spend Energy to install or upgrade turrets at defensive positions.[1][5]

How the mode changes your loadout

Weapons across modes[5][6]
Mode	Acquisition and upgrades
Campaign	Find weapons and use Supply Caches to change equipment and mods.
Horde Siege	Class progress opens loadout options; Weapon Parts purchase unlocked weapon mods.
Versus	Equal starting equipment, on-map power-weapon pickups and no weapon mods.

Start with the Lancer comparison to choose a rifle model, the Gnasher guide for partial reloads, or Longshot and Breechshot for precision weapons.[1][2]
