Rogue Company: A Valorant spinoff?
The game has a third-person shooting impression but imitates both Valorant and CS:GO. Before you start the game, you select from a set number of agents. These agents have special abilities and skills that are distinct. Also, each agent has a set loadout, which is different from the other. That basically means that not every agent will have the ability to use a sniper or an SMG.
It combines the elements of gliding into a map, respawning, and also having the ability to revive your teammates.

It is fast-paced than most of its competitors, though. Rogue Company has a better movement mechanism, supplemented with a dodge rollover. If you think you are being cornered, the dodge rollover comes in handy. It is a neat trick. The rounds get over in a jiffy if you play on your enemies terms. The key is to have better positioning and to be able to maneuver and improvise.
‘Rogues’ to Choose From
There are plenty of agents to choose from and like Valorant, each agent has a set of unique abilities.
- Duelists
- Scorch
- Ronin
- Lancer
- Chaac
- Intel
- Talon
- Dallas
- Initiator
- Dima
- Gl1tch
- Defender
- Trench
- Vy
- Anvil
- Sniper
- Phantom
- Support
- Saint
Each agent has a choice of two primary weapons. But wait, there’s a catch. The choice of weapons is unique for each agent. For instance, only Phantom will have the option of choosing a sniper rifle. Most rogues have a choice between SMG and shotguns as primary weapons. Lancer has an ability to be able to silence his footsteps, making it difficult for the enemies to spot him.
Game Modes
A few game modes have been put forward that are basically an amalgamation of modes from Valorant, CS, and Warzone. Each game mode has a distinct objective and completing tasks and eliminating enemies is the only way to earn money, upgrade weapons, and unlock new features.
Extraction is a mode which consists of an objective. The winner of the round is decided when the objective is completed or when all the enemies have been wiped out. This is a 4v4 mode. In Strikeout mode, you respawn, however, each time has a limited number of respawns in each round.
Demolition is like CS, a bomb has to be planted and the other time has to defuse it within a given time frame. These modes are 4v4 while wingman as the name suggests is 2v2.
