Welcome to our new article series, World War 3 Boot Camp! In this series of articles, we will aim toward guiding newer players with knowledge that can help them improve their playstyle and understand the various aspects of the game better. Our first article will aim at shining a light on our Tac Ops gamemode. It is the game’s core gamemode, and we wish to make it more clear to newer players about certain rules or possibilities of the mode. In our upcoming articles, we hope to explain even more of the game, including customisation, vehicle and anti-vehicle gameplay, squad play, and much more.
Rules
- The Rules of Tac Ops are simple.
- 20v20.
- 30 minutes.
- 5000 score to win.
- Each pair of objectives captured increases the team’s score.
- Vehicles and other strikes are allowed.
Objective Linking
Tac Ops has 6 objectives. A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. Both objectives of each letter have to be captured in order for your team to begin gaining score. The more you own, the faster your team earns the score. Holding one objective pauses the score gain.
The objectives will be captured quicker, depending on the number of people from the most numerous squad on the objective. For example, Squad A has 2 people. Squad B has 1 person. The objective will be captured based on the number of people in Squad A. It is the number of people in a squad that matter, not the team. Make sure to coordinate with other squads in order to most effectively capture the battlefield!
Spawning
In Tac Ops, you are able to spawn on any member of your squad, in your base, inside your team’s spawn truck, on captured objectives, and in the event of holding no objectives, you are able to spawn on a mercy spawn.
However, if the enemy is present on an objective, you will not be able to spawn there until it is clear. In addition, if the enemy team is jamming you, you are only able to spawn on captured objectives, in your base, and on a mercy spawn. Make sure to take down enemy jammers using larger caliber guns, or the Piorun AA launcher.
Strike Points
In Tac Ops, each action rewards you with Strike Points (SP). Make sure to use these regularly, and earn as many as possible. Capturing objectives and destroying vehicles will net you the most. These allow you to use your UAVs, jammers, vehicles, missiles, artillery strikes and bombing runs. These will be crucial to winning, as they will provide you with more firepower, intel, or will deny the enemy their own intel. In addition, finding a locker in game will allow you to switch your currently equipped loadout for 500 SP, without the need to respawn.
Team Play
In order to be an effective team player, and earn the maximum amount of SP, ensure that you’re doing the following:
- Capturing objectives with your squad and following squad leader orders.
- Eliminating enemy vehicles and drones. Remember to keep dedicated loadouts for this, so you may counter them when needed.
- Dropping med, ammo and equipment packs for your teammates.
- Repairing and supporting your friendly vehicles and drones. You can equip a repair tool by interacting with a vehicle or drone through the “4” button.
- Giving your teammates intel via UAV strikes as they attack or defend an objective.
