Deadside Squad Raid Coordination Guide
Deadside rewards players who plan loot runs before they shoot. This guide focuses on callouts, flanks, and shared loot runs — the habits that keep squads alive in open-world survival raids on PC.
Squad roles that actually stick
Assign a scout, a closer, and a loot carrier before you leave spawn. callouts, flanks, and shared loot runs only works when everyone knows who calls flanks and who holds rear.
Use short callouts tied to squad spacing: “cruiser north,” “compound west open,” “extract in 90.” Long stories get people killed.
Loot tempo vs. fight tempo
High-value zones attract duos on timers. If you are still sorting mags when another team arrives, you already lost the exchange.
voice comms discipline is about leaving while the lobby is distracted. Third-party the fight, do not become the cleanup crew for two healthier squads.
Audio, lighting, and night raids
Footsteps and vehicle engines travel farther than most players expect. Crouch-walk near compounds, and never sprint across open sawmill lanes without cover.
Night raids punish lazy routes. Move compound to compound with NVG discipline, or daytime routes with better sightlines — not both at once.
Apply it next queue
Run one disciplined raid using only this guide’s focus. Compare your extract value and survival time to your last five sessions.
