This is your first mission in the EDF Heavy Tank. This vehicle is covered in thick armor and equipped with a heavy cannon capable of killing most enemy vehicles with a single hit. However, this is not a mission you want to approach from an aggressive footing.
Instead, you want to avoid combat as much as possible in an attempt to stay alive as long as possible. However, don’t worry about running away from a fight either. If you have any enemy vehicle in your sights, take it out as quick as you can before it can retaliate.
The EDF Heavy Tank is really at the top of the food chain. However, other EDF Heavy Tanks and MLRS units do pose a significant threat. Instead of running away from these vehicles, hunt them down as soon as they appear.
An Armor Boost pick-up appears at the bottom of the map early on in the round. Avoid picking it up until at least the two minute mark. The Armor Boost comes in handy once multiple vehicles appear to hunt you down, since while the Armor Boost is active, you can’t be damaged.
Take this opportunity to turn the tables on your enemies and hunt them aggressively. The Armor Boost only lasts for fifteen seconds, so make the most of it.
As you reach the three minute mark, your health is probably quite low, so simply evade enemy contact until you’ve lasted long enough to earn a gold star.
