# Hood Warfare 2 Homies: How to Identify Support Use the mode, visible team cues and the situation around a support arrival before committing to a shot or a move. Canonical: https://hood-warfare.com/hood-warfare-2/insights/support-character-identification/ Published: 2026-11-08 Updated: 2026-10-24 Page reviewed: 2026-11-08 Evidence: Source-based editorial analysis; community claims retain their attribution Version scope: Developer announcements: 1.0.1.8. Later builds have not been verified here. ## Quick answer Use the mode, visible team cues and the situation around a support arrival before committing to a shot or a move. ## What did the Homies color fix actually change? An older clip with a different appearance might have been recorded before the correction or in a different mode. It cannot settle what you will see in your match. The patch does not provide a catalog of character appearances, HUD markers or behavior across every mode. ## What should you check before reacting to a figure? Treat color as one clue. If it is all you saw and you have time to verify, use a short second look or let a teammate with a better angle check. The developer reported a larger killstreak readiness display in 1.0.2.2. A readiness cue alone cannot tell you who the figure in your sight belongs to. ## What if friendly support and an opponent cross paths? In Chaos, do the same check using your own observations. If you have only a partial look and following the movement would take you across an open lane, you can stay put or fall back to a safer angle. This is a hypothetical choice, with no assumed AI route, uniform or target behavior. ## What would make a screenshot or clip useful? Record the installed build, mode and what happened immediately before the character appeared. If possible, include the support arrival and the next visible cue in one continuous clip. An isolated image can show color but may leave ownership or sequence unresolved. Until there is a current capture with that context, use the mode-specific patch wording and describe the rest as observations to verify in your own match. ## Common questions ### What did the Homies color fix actually change? Start with the mode you are playing. Trapstar Games reported a Homies color correction in Chaos in 1.0.1.8, with red matching the player s gang in that context. The Steam store describes Chaos as free-for-all. Read the color correction in that specific context and keep the rest of your identification routine the same. ### What should you check before reacting to a figure? Start with what you can see from the cover you already have. Look for a team indicator or a name you recognize if it is visible. Check whether you actually saw the support arrive and whether the figure in view is the one you were tracking. If two characters cross, recheck the one you intend to act on rather than carrying over an identification from the first figure. ### What if friendly support and an opponent cross paths? Imagine you are watching a doorway in a team match. You see a known support arrival, lose sight of it for a moment and then see two figures move past the doorway. Keep the cover you have and track each crossing separately. If your teammate has a clearer angle, ask which side they saw the second figure leave from. Call the part you can confirm and label the rest as uncertain. ## Revision history 2026-11-08 — Compared the named source material and recorded the limits of the conclusions. ## Sources and scope - [Patch 1.0.1.8 · Draco, ARP and rule changes](https://steamstore-a.akamaihd.net/news/externalpost/steam_community_announcements/1846651706684064): Original developer announcement retrieved via Valve news API.
