Brainstorming ideas for your best Nerf Squad? Asked your classmates, friends, family, even your local pizza guy? Well stop right there, mate! Because you have the help of WikiHow to make the coolest Nerf Squad around.
Steps
-
Look for people who enjoy Nerf as much as you do. Have some friends or whoever you know over to your household or apartment or where you live. In order to do this, you'll need 2-14 people you know over to your place and you will assign them to their own position within the squad. You want to make sure that they agree with it and like it. Nobody likes a fight (unless it's a nerf fight).
-
Find out about their talents. Ask them what are they best at.Advertisement

3Focus on creating balance. The perfect Nerf squad normally has a balance of power, stealth, speed, and accuracy. The key is to find people that fit these descriptions. For each team member, select as follows:
- If they're best with the Spectrum or the Rebel Mech, they'll probably be in the speed category.
- If they're best with the Villainator or the Tomahawk, they'll probably be in the power category.
- If they're best with the DZ Pro Mk.II or the Aeon Pro, they'll probably be best in the stealth category.
- If they're best with the MK3 Pro or the Nexus Pro, they'll probably be best in the accuracy category.
-
Find one person that best fits the descriptions of each of the four categories. They will need to get along with you and the others, it's best not to let total strangers into your squad. They will also need a leader, as their leader you will need to be focused, have a good voice for giving orders, and you will need to know how to use all the weapons in your Nerf arsenal, not just a few.
-
5Assign roles. A successful Nerf squad has at least five people as members of the squad if not 10, its always good to have at least two of each category.

Assign the duties based on each players strengths. Once you have assembled your Nerf squad , give them specific duties such as, the snipers should be stationed near the trees or bushes and double as lookouts, the assault troops should have half their men on the front lines and the other half protecting the heavy machine gunners, the assassins or spies should be behind enemy lines or waiting in strategic positions to pounce on the enemy, etc.
-
Don't be abusive. Do not beat people with your stuff you have, especially people walking down the street. Do not use random people walking by as shields, and do not hold people hostage.
-
Have fun. What's the point of doing this if you're not going to have fun?

QuestionWhat kind of orders should I give my squad?Community AnswerThat depends pretty heavily on the situation. Here are some scenarios: If you are losing because the firepower on the other team is too intense, then have your front line troops regroup and have your snipers counterattack. But if your enemies have snipers that are pressuring your team, then you should either have your snipers fight fire with fire or send your recons, scouts, and assassins to take care of them.
-
QuestionShould my team establish code words and basic hand signals?Community AnswerIt's not that important. But if you're really concerned about the enemy knowing your plans then you can try.
-
QuestionWould a modded retaliator work for a sniper, and could the sniper be the leader?Community AnswerYes, it would work wonderfully. I have been a sniper/leader myself with a modded retaliator.
