Roles & Specializations

At Black Talon, every role serves a critical function on the battlefield. To uphold the highest standards of realism and effectiveness, we implement vetting processes and practical evaluations before assigning specialized roles. This ensures that every operator stepping into a specialized position has the skills, discipline, and mindset required to perform at the highest level.

Whether you aspire to lead from the front, provide life-saving support, or deliver devastating firepower from the skies, there’s a role here for you—but you must earn it.
