Summary
In Squad, layer map rotation is critical to the game's strategic depth and replayability. Layers represent different variations or configurations of a specific map, introducing different game modes, vehicle availability, and overall combat dynamics. The rotation of layers ensures that players experience a range of scenarios within a single map, fostering adaptability and tactical diversity as they navigate through distinct challenges across different gameplay sessions.
