Squeak is currently A-tier in Gem Grab with a score of 82/100. As a Controller, Squeak denies zones and controls objective access with area abilities, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Gem Grab.
Run Chain Reaction as the default Star Power for Squeak — it works in most situations. Switch to Super Sticky on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Windup is the standard active pick; Residue is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
Squeak struggles against Edgar and Mortis, who can out-trade Squeak at the ranges or map types where Squeak is most exposed. On the flip side, Squeak consistently beats Bull and Frank.
Squeak performs best in Gem Grab (A-tier, 82/100). The Controller kit — denies zones and controls objective access with area abilities — is directly rewarded in Gem Grab, which is why Squeak climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Squeak pairs best with Charlie and Emz. Since Squeak denies zones and controls objective access with area abilities, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Squeak well, focus on Gem Grab where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Controller that denies zones and controls objective access with area abilities. Run Chain Reaction as the core build, track Edgar and Mortis on the enemy team, and pair with Charlie and Emz when possible.
Squeak fires a sticky bomb that attaches to any surface or brawler it hits and detonates after a delay, making it uniquely effective at sticking to objectives like the Heist safe. His Super launches a larger bomb that also sticks and leaves persistent child bombs on detonation, creating a lingering minefield on the target area. He is a highly specialized Heist brawler but also effective in Gem Grab for objective pressure.
Aim Squeak's sticky bomb directly at the Heist safe door for maximum safe damage, as the bomb sticks to it and detonates in place without needing proximity to the safe opening. His Super minefield is devastating when placed in doorways or chokepoints that enemies must cross.

Mode-specific stats and the top ranked Squeak players globally. Each page shows win rate, pick rate, best maps and tier for that specific combination.
Build your Super from safe positions and deploy it on the objective approach route, not reactively. Take Chain Reaction in most situations, switching to Super Sticky on maps where enemies can close distance. A Super that wins map control is worth more than one used defensively.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Edgar or Mortis. Both Windup and Residue are in your kit — learn which one punishes your counters versus which gives you an escape window. Use your Gadget early rather than saving it for a desperate moment.
MATCHUP
Best Team Shape
Pair Squeak with Charlie or Emz when possible. Build toward Bouncy Blob in safe positions — it swings fights instantly, so activate it when your team has the edge, not when you are already behind.
