Windtrace Event Guide

How do Rebels win Windtrace matches?

Repair Four Signaling Devices

The Rebels must work together to repair 4 Signaling Devices scattered on the map before the time runs out. Even if the other Rebels are captured and eliminated, as long as 4 Signaling Devices are repaired, the Rebels will win!

Hide and Avoid Elimination

Rebels will have to hide and sneakily avoid being captured by the Hunter as they repair the Signaling Devices. If a Rebel gets captured twice, they are eliminated from the game. If all Rebels get eliminated, the Hunter wins.

Rebel Tips and Strategies

Blend in with your Surroundings!

Use the Contested Zones to your advantage and blend in with your surroundings! If you try setting up your disguise as a natural part of the stage, and a Hunter might just pass by you.

Go for the smaller disguises as they will be less easier to spot!

Find Small or Hidden Corners

Though hiding in plain sight is always an option, the Hunters' instinct may be to check items they see in an area. Small nooks and crannies that escape the Hunter's view are a much better place to hide in!

Stay on The Move

You have to stay on the move as you go around the map repairing the Signaling Devices. Keep an eye on the map and the Hunter's position and hide quickly if they come close!

You can also play decoy and lead the Hunter around while your fellow Rebels fix Signaling Devices, but this requires expert maneuvering and quick movements.
