In single player campaign, the other team members operate autonomously but the player is able to give them contextual commands by pressing up the D-pad. The order given is determined by what the player is currently looking at. Some of these orders include ''Attack My Target'', ''Go To Location'', ''Use Vehicle'' (or turret), ''Pick Up Weapon'' and ''Revive Teammate''.<ref name="h5g yourteam">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/halo-5-guardians-your-team-is-your-weapon '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo 5: Guardians - Your Team is your Weapon'']</ref> The new revival mechanic allows both AI members of the team to revive the player or players to revive one another in co-op play. When a player takes too much damage, they go into a "downed" state. Active players or AI-controlled fireteam members can revive the downed Spartan within a set time limit which is shown in an icon on their HUDs. If a player remains downed for too long, they will die and be subject to similar respawn mechanics as in the prior games.{{Ref/Reuse|h5g yourteam}} This is also the case with certain types of damage such as being stuck by a {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}} or falling to one's death.
