Welcome back, loyal companions! Today, we’re diving into a complete in-depth guide for one of the most unique Rogues in Rogue Company: Glitch. We’ll go over his weapons, abilities, perks, an upgrade priority system, and essential playstyle tips to help you play Glitch at a higher level. Whether you’re a newer player or someone trying to master this more challenging Rogue, this guide will have something for you.

Let’s jump straight in!


Understanding Glitch: Role and Playstyle

Glitch is a breacher Rogue whose effectiveness depends heavily on good positioning, smart decision-making, and timing. He’s not the easiest Rogue to pick up, but in the right hands, he becomes a disruptive powerhouse who denies enemy setups and creates openings for his team.

Because his entire kit revolves around information, coordination, and timing, newer players may struggle at first. Even seasoned players need to be thoughtful about how they use Glitch’s abilities. But once you learn the nuances, he’s an incredibly valuable pick.


Passive Ability: Intuition

Glitch’s passive, Intuition, allows him to see enemy equipment (like C4, Ronin knives, Anvil shields, barbed wire, etc.) through walls. When detected, equipment appears with a glowing red outline, alerting Glitch to nearby dangers or strategic setups.

This awareness is crucial for both avoiding traps and planning attacks. Always keep an eye out — if you spot something, it’s your responsibility to call it out to teammates.


Active Ability: Hack

Glitch’s Hack ability pulls up a scanning device that detects all enemy equipment and players within a 20-meter radius. When activated:

  • Equipment will be destroyed or triggered (explosives will detonate).
  • Players will be EMP’d, temporarily disabling their mini-map, abilities, and utility.

Important notes:

  • Pulling out the device does not force you to activate the hack — you can scan and cancel.
  • Even after hacking, you can pull the scanner out again to keep checking the nearby area.

Mastering when to activate Hack versus when to just gather intel is crucial to Glitch’s success.


Weapons and Gadgets

Primary Weapons

  • SKL6 Shotgun: Heavy-hitting pump-action shotgun. Devastating up close but falls off hard at range.
  • LMP-X SMG: Versatile SMG with manageable recoil, decent range, and strong consistency.

Secondary Weapon

  • Executioner Pistol: A balanced semi-automatic pistol, great as a backup.

Melee Weapon

  • Baseball Bat: Strong melee swings and reliable lunge upgrades, but limited throw potential.

Gadgets

  • Flashbang: Blinds enemies completely, cutting off sight and minimap access. Fantastic for aggressive pushes.
  • Semtex Grenade: Stick and explode device, lethal if directly attached.

Perks

4,000 Category

  • Padded Steps (silent movement while not sprinting)
  • Cloaked (immune to reveals)

6,500 Category

  • Tenacity (reduced explosive damage)
  • Nimble Hands (faster reload and weapon swap)

10,000 Category

  • Headstrong (extra armor)
  • Tracker Rounds (reveals enemies hit)

Glitch’s perk setup supports his breaching and survivability roles, helping him close distance and survive longer in chaotic fights.


Upgrade Priority System

Here’s a simplified upgrade plan you can follow each match:

High Priority (Buy First)

  • Round 1: Buy Flashbang (or Semtex if you prefer) to control early fights.
  • Round 2: Buy your Primary Weapon (preferably the LMP-X for versatility).
  • Round 3: Buy Tenacity and your second gadget.

Interchangeable Mid-Game Priorities

  • Fully upgrade your primary weapon for stronger mid-to-long range fights.
  • Upgrade your gadgets (e.g., two flashbangs for better site breaches).
  • Buy Headstrong for extra armor.

Low Priority (Situational)

  • Padded Steps and Cloaked if you’re up against heavy recon teams.
  • Melee upgrades if you have spare money.
  • Tracker Rounds to assist with team coordination.

Essential Playstyle Tips for Glitch

1. Call Out Equipment If you see traps or deployed gadgets through walls using Intuition, let your team know immediately. Never assume they saw it too.

2. Use Hack Strategically

  • Destroying Equipment: Use Hack to destroy things like trophies, barbed wire, or enemy traps before your team wastes utility.
  • EMP on Push: EMP enemy players just before your team pushes a site. Denying their ability use at the right moment can break defenses wide open.

3. Time Your Hack Perfectly Don’t just hack randomly. Time it when enemies haven’t deployed abilities yet (like Dima’s grenade or Vy’s poison) to block their defensive setup.

4. Communicate With Teammates Glitch’s strength relies heavily on comms. Let your team know when:

  • You’ve hacked.
  • The way is clear.
  • Equipment still remains.

5. Beware of Utility Trickery Smart players will “hold” utility items like grenades in their hands when they suspect a Hack is coming. If they do, they can still throw it even after being EMP’d. Be aware of this counter-play at higher levels.

6. Constantly Scan with the Device Even after using Hack, you can pull out the scanner repeatedly to check surroundings. Think of it as a free radar — use it often!

7. Adapt to Map and Enemy Setup Glitch thrives when used surgically. Sometimes that means playing patiently and gathering intel rather than rushing.


Final Thoughts

Glitch is a powerful but demanding Rogue who requires sharp thinking, teamwork, and patience. He’s not the best choice for beginners, but if you invest the time, Glitch can completely shut down enemy strategies and lead your team to victory.
