Operation Firestorm

In Squad Rush the action is centered around more objectives located in warehouses. While most of the fighting in the warehouses takes place at close to intermediate ranges ideal for shotguns and submachine guns, the outdoor approaches feature long sight lines best suited for assault and sniper rifles.

So when attacking, discuss loadouts with your team and mix things up—you can’t go wrong with carbines and assault rifles. The defending squad should primarily focus their efforts around the objectives, making close-range firearms, Claymores, and C4 the weapons of choice.

ZONE 1: WAREHOUSES

This objective is in the same location as M-COM Station B from Rush mode. But with only one squad and no vehicle support, attacking and defending this objective is a little different.

The defenders shouldn’t bother trying to cover all the warehouse entry points. The structure is simply too large for four players to adequately cover it. Instead, hide inside the warehouse and take up elevated positions where possible to camp the M-COM station.

When playing as the US, always attack from the south side of the warehouse. Consider taking up positions in the office behind the objective and picking off defenders hiding inside the warehouse.

At the earliest opportunity, deploy smoke on the objective and plant the charge while preparing for the inevitable RU counterattack.

ZONE 2: CONSTRUCTION SITE

This is another M-COM station carried over from Rush mode. It is located in the warehouse at the Construction Site. Once again, both teams must deploy close-quarters infantry tactics to establish and maintain control of this large structure.

For the US, a popular attack route is from the north side, where the objective can be easily accessed through the large door.

The RU team should prepare for such an attack by deploying at least one squad member on the north side—the two-story building directly north of the warehouse is an awesome cover point for recon troops.

But instead of trying to predict the US team’s point of entry, the rest of the RU squad should focus on covering the objective from within the warehouse. While the northern approach is often effective for the US team, try a different approach if the opposing squad has your number.

Oftentimes a sneak attack from the south is a good way to get the jump on the defenders.
