Just Cause 4, the latest entry in the popular action-adventure series, has now been released on PC and consoles. Some of the biggest changes to the game include the introduction of weather events, with weather such as tornadoes affecting the way that one plays. Just Cause 4 also focuses a little more on management, with players, in particular, having to consider their Squad Reserves.

Squad reserves in Just Cause 4 are used in order to conquer new regions on the game's massive map. While players are given some Squad Reserves for free towards the beginning of the game, players will quickly find themselves needing to get more in order to progress. Thankfully, though, the game allows players to earn squad reserves through normal play. The two methods for unlocking more squad reserves in Just Cause 4 have been outlined below.


Increase Your Chaos Level

The first and arguably the easiest method of unlocking Squad Reserves is to increase one's Chaos level. Increasing the Chaos level can be done through normal gameplay, specifically by blowing things up. Look for enemy items that are highlighted with red, which includes enemy vehicles, buildings, and objects, and then destroy them. Gas tanks and generators are especially volatile and are useful for raising one's Chaos level.

Players will receive +2 Squad Reserves every time they increase their Chaos level. The game will also display a progress bar to the next Chaos level, so keep an eye on that to figure out how much more 'sploding needs to be done to get more Squad Reserves.


Liberate Enemy Regions

The other method for unlocking more Squad Reserves in Just Cause 4 is to liberate more regions. When a hostile region is bordered by two or more of friendly regions (regions that Rico has already liberated), players will then unlock additional Squad Reserves by liberating it. It isn't necessary to spend any Squad Reserves to liberate this region, either.

For this method, Just Cause 4 players will want to think tactically about how they liberate regions. Plan ahead to choose regions in the game world that will end up bordering other regions, so that they can then be liberated and yield more Squad Reserves.

Speaking of thinking tactically, it should also be pointed out that different regions require different numbers of Squad Reserves in order to be liberated. As such, players should focus on regions that cost as few Squad Reserves as possible in order to border other regions which can then be taken over to unlock more.

Just Cause 4 is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
