Task Force Boone’s Recon Force stands out in BLKOUT for its emphasis on synergy and tactical depth. This isn’t a force for lone wolves; success comes from careful coordination and leveraging each unit's strengths to overcome challenges, especially against heavy armor. From their battle drills to indirect fire capabilities, Boone demands strategic thinking and rewards players who support their models effectively.
Armory: Straightforward and Lethal
Boone’s armory is all about versatility and power. The force comes equipped to handle heavy armor, advanced AI, and provides unit-level indirect fire support. By allocating combat loads to your grunts, you can take out multiple enemy models before deploying specialists armed with LMGs. With two LMG-equipped models, you can afford to take risks, potentially wiping out entire fire teams in a single activation—often without fear of return fire.
Battle Drills: Tactical Firepower and Movement
Recon’s battle drills shine in critical moments. Once you’ve neutralized overwatch threats, these drills enable your LMG specialists to unleash overwhelming firepower, drowning out return fire even when positioned unfavorably. The result? Higher survival odds and the chance to trigger devastating cyclic fire.
Other battle drills focus on movement, providing covering fire for advancing units and forcing opponents into tough decisions: expend return fire, attempt risky reactions, or face counter-fire from better positioning. These drills are invaluable for creating opportunities and maintaining pressure on the enemy.
Force Special Rule: Data Attack Superiority
Recon’s unique force special rule allows one model per round to perform a data attack action—even without a data spike. This ability is a game-changer, enabling units to support each other by pinning enemy units and disrupting their strategy. It’s a subtle but powerful tool that reinforces Boone’s emphasis on teamwork and synergy.
Units: The Backbone of Boone
Task Force Boone’s force box includes three key units, offering enough flexibility and firepower to field a complete force:
-
VAT Teams: These are your go-to units. With average skill and armor, their standout features include Jump and a built-in jammer. VAT Teams thrive in close-quarters combat, using short-range carbines and the game’s only CQB LMG to dominate at short range. Their jammer ensures they’re most effective when supported by other units and battle drills, making them a natural fit for Boone’s playstyle.
-
Pathfinders: As Recon’s most basic unit, Pathfinders lack Jump but compensate with rifles boasting AP(1), giving them an edge against heavy armor and even light vehicles. Their flexibility and compatibility with Boone’s armory options make them a valuable tool for targeting diverse threats.
-
Razorback: The standout star of the Recon force, Razorback is a powerhouse. While its indirect missiles may tempt players to sit back and rain destruction, its true strength lies in its auto and cyclic LMGs. Properly positioned, Razorback can annihilate poorly placed infantry with up to six kills per round. Keep it away from EMPs and nestled in cover to maximize its effectiveness.
Key Takeaways
Recon is, without question, BLKOUT’s most unique and synergy-driven force to date. With a robust toolbox and moderately powerful units, Boone excels in tactical depth and teamwork. Whether you're using VAT Teams to disrupt the enemy, Pathfinders to take down heavy targets, or Razorback to rain chaos, Task Force Boone offers unparalleled strategic opportunities for players ready to embrace its intricacies.
