Star Wars Zero Company Guides

The fastest way to learn Star Wars Zero Company is to understand its three connected layers: tactical missions, squad development, and decisions at The Den. Start with the beginner guide, then choose a Specialization for Hawks that fills a gap in your regular squad. Follow with equipment, facilities, and completion goals only when their facts are supported by an official or platform source.

Start with the beginner guide

The beginner guide explains Action Points, movement, cover, assists, Advantage, Overwatch, objectives, and the campaign Cycle. It also covers the decisions the tutorial does not emphasize, including free talent refunds, broad weapon access, visible enemy positions, and time-limited Operations. Read it before spending large amounts of Intel or committing the whole roster to overlapping roles.

Compare every class before building a squad

Most Operators use one of eight standard Specializations: Assault, Gunslinger, Heavy, Medic, Scoundrel, Scout, Sharpshooter, and Soldier. Four additional paths are tied to particular character types, bringing the total commonly discussed class count to twelve. The classes guide explains what each role contributes, how weapons and Specializations interact, and why squad coverage matters more than a universal tier list.

Plan The Den and equipment around the next mission

The The Den Upgrades guide explains facilities, Build Slots, recovery, recruitment, Intel, and Influence without inventing a universal upgrade order. The Weapons & Utilities guide covers the four confirmed weapon families, Mods, AP costs, and Armory decisions. Use both before committing Credits or a Cycle to a choice that will not help the next objective.

Track completion without spoiling the campaign

Steam lists 53 achievements for Zero Company. The Achievements guide groups the public goals for progression, combat, Bonds, roster building, and difficulty while leaving story achievements spoiler-light. It only includes requirements visible on Steam, rather than guessing at hidden entries or platform trophy parity.

Choose a practical role for Hawks

Hawks appears frequently and improves the rest of the squad through the Fearless Leader talent, so a support-oriented build has unusually high value. Scout is the best general recommendation because it helps the whole team generate and spend Advantage, while Medic is the safest first-campaign option on harder settings. The best class for Hawks guide also covers Sharpshooter, Gunslinger, recommended weapons, and second-Specialization plans.

Set difficulty without ruining the campaign

Story, Normal, Hard, and Expert change more than enemy health and damage, especially at the upper end. Permadeath and Beskar Mode are separate modifiers, so you can add lasting consequences without locking the campaign to a single save. The difficulty levels guide recommends Normal with Permadeath for tactics newcomers, Hard with Permadeath for experienced players, and no Beskar Mode on a first run.

How this guide library is verified

Game-system facts are checked against the official EA site, the Steam listing, and current in-game documentation reflected in the supplied source material. Build advice is identified as a recommendation rather than an immutable rule, because free refunds and later dual Specializations make experimentation part of the game. Pages show an update date so balance changes and post-launch discoveries can be reviewed instead of silently presented as permanent facts.
