Match the lane to the task
Inspection, security, support, and gear answer different questions at the border. A higher letter is not a verified win rate.
Secure the Border Tier List
Compare the named roles and gear by the border task they appear to serve. This page keeps unverified effects, prices, and rankings visibly held instead of turning a name-only listing into a promise.
Checked 2026-08-10No hidden stats inferred
Loop fit, utility, and replacement risk
We prioritize fit with the documented vehicle-check loop, practical role coverage, unlock uncertainty, and whether a player can replace the choice.
Role lanes checked 2026-08-10
No rank movement is claimed until an effect or role change can be reproduced in the current game.
Role-first comparison
Use-case lanes, not invented power scores
The visible names come from public gamepass listings. A lane means “where to investigate first”; it does not guarantee a bonus, price, or win rate that the sources do not show.
A
X-Ray Officer
X-ray / vehicle inspection
Strongest role match for the documented X-ray loop, but the public listing does not verify a stat bonus or current price.
A
Inspector
Document and search checks
Relevant to the vehicle inspection flow. Use it as a comparison anchor, not as a promise that it beats another role.
B
Tactical Officer
Threat response
A sensible security lane for smuggler or raider encounters, while the exact loadout and survivability effect remain unverified.
B
Medic
Team support
A public support-role name. Keep it in the support lane until the current server confirms healing or utility behavior.
Held
Railgun / AR / Infinite Ammo
Gear and ammo convenience
These public names are useful for a gear watchlist, but no verified damage, ammo, or price table is available for a numeric ranking.
Team-combo handling
Build a checkpoint team around jobs
If your server supports multiple duties, assign coverage before chasing a rare role. The documented loop still needs a clear inspection path and a response path for threats.

Inspection checklist
Run vehicle arrival, X-ray/search, trunk, engine, document, and threat checks in order.

Use the threat page when smugglers, raiders, illegal items, or bribe signals change the decision.

FAQ
Common ranking questions
What does the Secure the Border tier list measure?
It compares role lanes and practical use cases for inspection, security, support, and gear. It does not invent damage, price, or win-rate values.
Why are some entries marked held?
A public name alone does not prove an effect or ranking. Held entries stay visible so players know what to verify in the current server.
Which role should a beginner investigate first?
Start with the inspection lane because the documented core loop includes vehicles, X-ray/search, trunks, engines, and driver documents. Confirm the role effect before spending.
When should this comparison change?
Refresh it after an update, creator announcement, role rework, or a reproducible in-game check that changes what a role does.
