• Bolt-Action Rifles: Primary Weapon
  The standard-issue weapon for most soldiers. Includes authentic and often obsolete or weird rifles used by the British and Ottoman Empires.
• Machine Guns: Heavy Weapon
  Heavy, crew-served weapons that must be deployed to be effective, making them ideal for defense and laying down suppressive fire.
• Sidearms: Secondary Weapon
  Pistols and revolvers issued to officers and specialized roles for self-defense.
• Melee Weapons: Close-Quarters
  Brutal weapons for close-quarters trench combat, including bayonets, trench clubs, and shovels.

• Assault Rifles: Primary Weapon
  The versatile primary weapon for most Attackers, balanced for a variety of engagements.
• Submachine Guns (SMGs): Primary Weapon
  Fast-firing weapons that excel in the close-quarters combat typical of Siege's maps. The primary choice for most Defenders.
• Shotguns: Primary Weapon
  Powerful close-range weapons used for both killing enemies and creating holes in soft walls for new lines of sight.
• Operator Gadgets: Unique Abilities
  Each of the 75 operators has a unique primary gadget that defines their role, from Thermite's hard-breaching charges to Valkyrie's deployable cameras.

• Armor Rating: Operators have a rating system of 1, 2, or 3 for both Speed and Health (formerly Armor). A 3-Health/1-Speed operator is slow but can take more damage, while a 1-Health/3-Speed operator is fast but fragile. There are no equippable armor items.

• Operator & Weapon Skins: A vast array of cosmetic items are available, including full operator uniforms (such as Master Chief or Homelander outfits), headgear, weapon skins, and charms. These are acquired through the Battle Pass or the in-game shop.

Progression is class-based. Players choose a role (Officer, LMG Gunner, etc.) and level it up to unlock new historical weapon variants, equipment, and cosmetic uniform options. The game will feature major improvements to the progression, loadout, and health systems compared to previous titles in the series.

Progression is based on unlocking and mastering the game's 75+ unique operators. Each operator has a signature gadget and a specific loadout of weapons. There are no skill trees; progression is about expanding your tactical options by unlocking more operators with in-game currency ('Renown') and improving your personal skill and map knowledge.

The game features a series of large, historically-based maps representing key battlegrounds of the Middle Eastern Front. These include the landing beaches of the Gallipoli peninsula, the urban areas of Kut al Amara, and the vast deserts of lower Mesopotamia.

The game features a large pool of compact, intricate maps designed for close-quarters tactical combat. With the Siege X update, five classic maps (Bank, Clubhouse, Border, Chalet, Kafe) have received a full visual and fidelity overhaul, with more planned for future seasons. A new, much larger map called 'District' was introduced exclusively for the 'Dual Front' game mode.

• Momentum
  The primary game mode. A large-scale, 50-player battle where one team attacks and the other defends across a multi-sector map representing a historical battle. The attacking team's success is governed by their 'Momentum' resource.

• Bomb
  The core 5v5 competitive mode. The attacking team must plant a defuser at one of two bomb sites, while the defending team must prevent the plant or disable the defuser. Each round is single-elimination.
• Dual Front
  A 6v6 mode with respawns where two teams simultaneously attack enemy sectors and defend their own on a large, mirrored map.
• Secure Area
  A 5v5 mode where the attacking team must locate and secure a biohazard container by occupying the room for a set amount of time, while defenders try to stop them.
• Hostage
  A 5v5 mode where the attacking team must locate and extract a hostage from the building, while defenders must prevent the extraction. The hostage can be injured by either team.

The primary mode is the 5v5 single-elimination 'Bomb' mode. Other classic modes like Hostage and Secure Area are available. The major new addition is 'Dual Front,' a permanent 6v6 mode with respawns and simultaneous attack/defense objectives on the game's largest map.

The core game is free-to-play with access to most modes and a rotating roster of 26 operators. The Elite Edition ($19.99) unlocks Ranked mode and 16 additional operators. The Ultimate Edition ($39.99) provides instant access to all 52 additional operators and exclusive cosmetic items. All progress from previous versions of Siege carries over.

Siege X follows a seasonal live-service model. Every season introduces a new Battle Pass with branching paths, new operators, map reworks, and major balance changes. The first season, 'Operation Daybreak,' included a rework for the operator Clash.
