Pick a mission your squad can finish
Horde Siege supports up to 12 players, arranged in three squads of four. You act with your own squad, and each squad has its own objectives.
| Mission type | Main shape of the run |
|---|---|
| Blitz | A shorter mission format |
| Siege | A longer sequence with several objectives |
| Horde | Defend the R.I.G. through 10 waves |
Choose a difficulty suited to your class level. Estimated mission durations are planning ranges rather than fixed timers for every run.
Follow the active objective
Your instructions can involve clearing an occupied area, holding a calibration zone, retrieving repair parts or defending the R.I.G. Read the active objective rather than treating every playlist as a traditional wave defense.
Side objectives can supply parts and temporary benefits. Take them when the squad can manage the extra risk; exhausting your lives to chase a side reward can cost the extraction.
Revive and recover
When a teammate dies, recover their COG tags and take them to a Supply Cache to revive them. A full squad wipe consumes a Squad Life.
Extract with your own squad
After the main objective, clear the landing area, hold until the Raven arrives and board in time. At least one member of your squad needs to extract successfully.
Another squad leaving does not automatically complete your squad’s mission. Prioritize a reliable extraction if you want to keep Weapon Parts; a failed squad should not expect to retain the parts it found.
