''Rogue Company'' is a free to play 4v4 competitive multiplayer ThirdPersonShooter game developed by First Watch Games, and published by Hi-Rez Studios (who previously published ''VideoGame/{{SMITE}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}''). The game started in a closed beta, which began on July 20th, 2020 for Platform/{{PlayStation 4}}, Platform/XboxOne, Platform/NintendoSwitch (the port is now defunct), and the PC (via the UsefulNotes/EpicGamesStore and Platform/{{Steam}}), with various "Founders Pack" editions offered to give players beta access as well as some help getting into the game.

* {{Crossover}}: As with ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'', the start of 2022 began with a crossover skin for Seeker than turns them into...''Film/{{Rambo}}'', of all things.

Also worth noting is that unlike its immediate competition, ''[[VideoGame/CounterStrike CS:GO]]'' and ''VideoGame/{{Valorant}}'', ''Rogue Company'' offers cross-platform play and cross-progression between all four versions of the game from launch[[labelnote:*]][=CSGO=] is ''technically'' on the [=PS3/ Xbox360=], but they're woefully outdated and do not support cross-play.[[/labelnote]], something which Hi-Rez's other games, ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'', ''VideoGame/{{SMITE}}'', and ''VideoGame/RealmRoyale'', all have.

* {{Crossover}}: As with VideoGame/{{Paladins}}, the start of 2022 began with a crossover skin for Seeker than turns them into...''Film/{{Rambo}}'', of all things.

* SniperRifle: The weapon of choice of [[{{ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin}} sniper]] characters.
* StickyBomb: Semtex Grenades will do more damage to stuck characters. Players will need to be careful as the stuck [[{{SuicideAttack}} player will be notified they were stuck]].

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Played with. Averted in mots aspects, in that the game goes out of its way to use key commands other games have standardized for specific actions, such as Q being used for abilities (Like in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}''), the scroll wheel for changing weapons (as in ''VideoGame/CounterStrike''), Middle-mouse button for pinging locations (as in ''VideoGame/ApexLegends''), while the interact key is F (as is standard in games like ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2''), but Played straight when it comes to Crouching (it's C instead of Left Shift, which is uncommon in [=FPS's=]), while the Emote Wheel is Z, not G as it is in ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}''.

* HeroShooter: Much like [[VideoGame/{{Paladins}} that other game]] Hi-Rez works on, you have a game with a cast of unique characters with special abilities, such as Anvil, who is a defensive character who deploys a shield and can carry a remotely detonated [=C4=].

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Anvil carries a mechanized deployable 3-panel shield. Unlike other things in the game, even if Anvil dies, the shield will not go away until it is destroyed.
Sigrid also has a portable shield that negates all damage.
