QUICK ANSWER

Choose Civilian for exploration, Checkpoint Authority (formerly Border Patrol) for checkpoint processing, or Police for enforcement. Coast Guard appears in August/September update walkthroughs; store access and current unlock rules must be checked separately.

Names and rank-badge descriptions rechecked September 17, with dated update transcripts. This is not a fully tested current team roster.

Free progression versus paid access

The September 17, 2026 official API lists STRIKE and SWAT instant-access passes, plus paid US Army and FBI benefits. Our August price snapshot listed BORTAC; the current listing uses STRIKE. Store data does not verify every team's current gameplay, free unlock path, or the complete roster. Check the current team menu before purchasing.

How to pick a team

  • Pick Checkpoint Authority if you want checkpoint objectives and lane processing; older footage calls this team Border Patrol.
  • Pick Police if you enjoy active-server enforcement and wanted-player mechanics.
  • Stay Civilian if you want to learn the world, money routes, housing, and vehicle systems first.
  • Treat federal/tactical teams as later specialization, not a requirement for enjoying the game.
