How Expedition Mode Works
Expedition advances through sectors. Attackers must secure the Headquarters after capturing it, while managing Momentum lost through deaths and restored by successful battle actions. Read the current objective prompt to finish the task. Our beginner guide explains the sequence, based on the official Expedition introduction.
Classes, Kits, and Squads
A class is your individual role. A kit selects its equipment and specialization. A squad determines the group's emphasis, available bonus class slots, and Officer support options. These choices are related, but they are not interchangeable.
The roster includes Rifleman, Officer, Engineer, Spotter, Sniper, Ammo Bearer, Bomber, Stretcher Bearer, Heavy Machine Gunner, and the British-only Light Machine Gunner. The class guide explains the differences and suggests starting roles according to the job you want to learn. See the official Classes and Squads & Call-ins devblogs for the system descriptions.
What Progression Unlocks
The available classes, weapons, and tools start unlocked. Progression adds class and weapon perks, with cosmetic rewards along the way. Prestige becomes available at level 20; classes also require their challenge. Prestiging resets the relevant level and perks, so it is a progression decision rather than a prerequisite for trying a different role. Official progression explanation.
Maps and the Next Update
The launch maps span coastal landings, Mesopotamian ruins and streets, and desert terrain. Named locations include Anzac Cove, V Beach, Ctesiphon, and Kut Al Amara. The maps page collects the locations and images; the roadmap separates released content from announced additions. Historical locations inspire the layouts, which are adapted for play. Official launch overview.
Can You Play Solo or with Friends?
Yes. The official Gallipoli FAQ confirms offline play with and against AI, plus full crossplay between PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. You can opt out of crossplay in the game's settings. Public battles can include bots, so a full match does not necessarily contain 50 human players. For a connection problem, use BlackMill's support page.
