Hardpoint Domination

Tactics

  • Hardpoint A is located within the Landing Pad and promotes close-quarter combat. Once your team has control, have a Pilot loadout that consists of either an SMG or shotgun. You will rack up on defense points as you defend the objective.
  • Hardpoint A is the only point that can be captured by a Titan. If your team has fewer Titans, avoid this point until you get a Titan. Controlling this objective with Hardpoint B is the best strategy to victory.
Pro Tip: Flamesword

Equip your Pilot with a sniper and scale the Farmer’s Market. Up here you will be able to spot enemies coming from the Militia’s main spawn and going for Hardpoint A while still being able to defend Hardpoint B. Paired with Cloak, a Pilot will be able to pick off many enemies.

  • Off the initial spawn for both teams, wall run off the short walls that are along the dirt path. These will speed you up, allowing you to reach Hardpoint B faster than you would by just running.
Pro Tip: Walshy

The grated platform above Hardpoint C is the most important area to hold to keep this capture point. Using Active Radar Pulse, you can pick off enemy Pilots, hide from enemy Titans, and even capture this point.

  • Turrets provide all the extra defense you can ask for, so activate them every chance you can. This becomes very helpful once the other team starts calling down Titans. Titans can easily turn the tide of the battle, so you will want all the extra firepower you can get to deal some damage on the enemy Titans and Pilots.
