Deep Strike Returns Again this Weekend!

Deep Strike, an asymmetrical mode where one team attacks and the other defends important industrial facilities at several locations, returns again this weekend!

When: From October 31st (12:00 GMT) until November 3rd (12:00 GMT)

Where: Navigate to Events and Tournaments in the hangar -> Deep Strike

We’re using Deep Strike as a testing ground for ideas that we’re exploring for a new type of operation in World War Mode, called Aerial Warfare. Catch up with all the details surrounding Deep Strike in our previous news article about it here. Below, we’ll go over what has changed since the first iteration of the mode.

Changes:

  • A new mission variant on the Vietnam map has been added.
  • The durability of infrastructure buildings has been reduced, making them easier to destroy.
  • Infrastructure has been made slightly damaged at the start of the mission, making it easier for the attackers to see it and destroy it. We’ve made this change in this test because in Aerial Warfare, the operation where Deep Strike will be available in within World War Mode, infrastructure will often already be damaged due to previous battles occurring. We want to test how it will be under regular battle conditions.

Give Deep Strike another try this weekend from October 31st (12:00 GMT) until November 3rd (12:00 GMT) or try it out for the first time if you missed the first iteration!

Get ready for intense aerial battles that will require teamwork and excellent piloting skills, and be sure to share your thoughts about this event with us. See you in the skies!
