Horde Siege classes and squad guide
Last updated: · By Ash Vector Desk
Horde Siege is E-Day's co-op wave-survival mode: you pick one of four classes, Assault, Marksman, Medic or Breacher, and drop in as a 4-player squad. Multiple squads share objectives and fight world bosses on large city maps. Surviving earns rewards, customization and loadout upgrades for the next match.
The four classes
| Class | Squad job (our reading of the role name) | Pairs well with |
|---|---|---|
| Assault | Front-line damage, holds pushes | Medic behind them |
| Marksman | Long-range picks on priority targets such as Boomers | Breacher keeping enemies off them |
| Medic | Keeps the squad standing and revives | Everyone; the safest first pick for new squads |
| Breacher | Close-quarters entry and crowd pressure | Assault for a two-person push |
The Coalition has confirmed the class names and the 4-player squad. Exact class abilities and numbers are not published on an official page yet, so we describe roles, not stats. We will add ability tables once they are documented by an official source.
How is Horde Siege different from classic Horde?
| Horde Siege (E-Day) | |
|---|---|
| Map size | Larger city maps |
| Players | Several 4-player squads at once |
| Goals | Shared objectives plus world bosses |
| Progress | Rewards, customization and loadout improvements between matches |
| Online requirement on Xbox | Game Pass tier with online multiplayer |
Five habits that win squads
- Cover first: the official guide warns that even a few Drones punish anyone in the open.
- Bring range for big enemies: the Longshot puts damage into tanky Boomers before they close in.
- Use caches to swap weapons when the wave type changes.
- Blind fire from cover while recovering health.
- Melee is a real weapon: practise backhands and Chainsaw Lancer finishes.
Is Versus different?
Versus is the 4v4 PvP side with all-new maps, refined fan-favorite modes, and Ranked or Social playlists. Movement now includes jump, vault and slide on top of cover.
