Infantry is purchased at any Purchase Terminal, and are instantly granted to the player upon purchase. As each faction has their own infantry production structure, so too do they have their own unique infantry.
Another way to acquire infantry is from claiming Mystery Crates, which can change the player's current infantry into another type without needing to spend Credits. On certain instances, players could receive a Spy from a Mystery Crate instead, essentially granting them an infantry from their opposite faction.
There will be a cooldown before a player can respawn if they are killed: the cooldown will be higher the longer the match goes on. Players will also be able to select which infantry they want to respawn with by scrolling the mouse wheel or using arrow keys to select their basic infantry of choice in a small popup menu on the bottom right corner of the screen.
