Starting Members in a Squad 3 Players
Max Members in a Squad 6 Players
Total No. of Squads in a Game 8 Teams

There is a maximum of up to 6 members in a squad in Zombies. You start off as a squad of 3, then other squads participating in your game can meet up with your squad and up to 3 new members can join your combined squad.

A squad of 6 can help you take on difficult AI enemies, like Mercenary Strongholds. Seeing as there are a lot of zombies, including the special ones, it's better to team up with other squads to increase the chances of surviving and completing missions!

Should You Play Zombies Solo or Co-op?

Co-op With a Squad is Ideal

Zombies is preferably played cooperatively with a squad. Some hard Zombies missions can be played more efficiently if you can communicate with your squadmates.

Even if you play solo, you will still be placed in a squad of 3 during matchmaking. While this is the norm, it is not a guarantee, as we've been placed in games as a solo squad member. This was most likely due to playing around the time of a relatively low player count.
