The campaign rhythm
Every mission begins before deployment
Investigate
Gather intel and choose where to spend limited attention. Operations can provide resources while the core squad advances the story.
Control the battlefield
Read cover, explosive objects, enemy activation order, assist angles, and the AP cost of your escape route before attacking.
Recover and rebuild
Treat injuries, review bonds and side quests, then reallocate talents or specializations when the roster exposes a weakness.

Price the shot, the cover move, and the retreat before the first action point leaves the pool.
Build assist geometry
Hawks and Jae both reward a squad that can see and support the same target.
Make the arena work
Explosive objects, height, lanes, and displacement are resources. Cly can turn positioning into damage.
Bank one AP when safe
Cross-checked launch guides repeatedly recommend leaving a point available when it protects the next reaction.
Verified quick answers
What players are asking this week
Is Star Wars Zero Company multiplayer?+
No. EA lists it as a single-player game with no online or competitive multiplayer, online co-op, local co-op, split screen, or other online social features.
Can you play as a Jedi?+
Tel-Rea Vokoss is a recruitable Jedi Padawan. She builds Harmony each turn, improving lightsaber deflection and attack damage.
What platforms is it on?+
PC through the EA app, Steam, and Epic Games Store; PlayStation 5; and Xbox Series X|S.
How many achievements are there?+
Launch trophy and achievement trackers list 53. Difficulty and campaign-state requirements make save planning important.
Does it have permadeath?+
Permadeath is a campaign option, while Beskar is the Ironman-style mode. Read the difficulty warnings before committing a long run.
Where are Deluxe Edition items?+
EA says to create an Operator or Astromech, then check the Character Databank. If items are still missing, wait 24 hours and check again.
Is Zero Company like XCOM or is it an RTS?+
XCOM-style is a useful player comparison for squad tactics, cover, AP, and roster management. Officially, Zero Company is turn-based tactics—not a real-time strategy game.
Can you customize characters?+
Yes. EA says Hawks and custom operators support appearance and combat customization, including name, voice, clothing, specializations, weapons, and abilities where available.
