Tips and Strategies for Invasion

Hold the Line

Due to the magnitude of the maps in Invasion, there will be a vast open area allows players to attack from various ways. Stay together and hold the line with your teammates for a better chance at racking kills and subsequently take control of the match. Make sure to stay within the playing area as staying out of bounds for too long can result in instant death.

Avoid Going Solo

Whether it be fighting a group of enemies or driving an APC into the battlefield, it is always better to do it with your teammates. Getting solo kills is certainly easier but having the numbers helps tremendously when taking control of an area on the map.
