Horde Point is Live Now! |
Hordepoint game mode was released along with the launch of MW3 Season 2. Hordepoint adds a twist to the classic Hardpoint mode by adding zombies and elite zombies into the fray.
Hordepoint Mechanics |
---|
|
Hordepoint follows the same core rules of Hardpoint where players need to capture 5 Hardpoint locations throughout the map. A hardpoint lasts for 1 minute, and after the time expires a new hardpoint location appears for the taking.
Players accumulate points for each second inside the Hardpoint, so taking and defending is the core mechanic of the game mode.
Each map has five Hardpoint locations for the taking. These locations activate in a specific order, which means that tracking these locations allows players to plan their approach to a Hardpoint.
As soon as a player enters the Hardpoint, Zombies will start spawning in, and sometimes even Elite Zombies will start joining the fight. Zombies will attack players from both teams, providing an extra challenge when defending a Hardpoint location.
A big yellow orb appears near the Hardpoint when a player crosses its border indicating that zombies are about to spawn in. A horde of zombies will come from the orb, while some zombies will still spawn from the ground.
Since the new event, Horde Hunt, is active, killing Zombies during Hordepoint will have them drop special bones for you to collect. Collect bones from base zombies, and skulls from the current week's featured zombies in order to unlock rewards from the Horde Hunt event.
Horde Hunt Event Features and Rewards
Best Hordepoint Strategies |
---|
|
Aggression is a rewarding trait for this game mode, as taking the hardpoint first will certainly give aggressive players the advantage of defending while accumulating points.
Take the Pack-A-Punched weapons that drop from zombies to kill zombies faster. Killing zombies faster allows you to obtain Zombie Power-Ups that will be beneficial to your entire team.
Note: If the enemy team has the Hardpoint, it's best to not kill zombies and let them swarm the enemy team inside the Hardpoint.
Take all Zombie power-ups when defending as your teammates will have an easier time in the Hardpoint by eliminating the secondary threat that is zombies. There are three available power-ups in Hordepoint, two of which only work against Zombies.
Use Decoy Grenades when trying to take a Hardpoint from the enemy team. Instead of killing the zombies near the Hardpoint, use them to your advantage and cause chaos for the enemy team inside the Hardpoint.
Decoy Grenade: How to Use and Unlock
It's best to divide the team and open each player to roles. Although this is hard to achieve in a solo lobby, your team must always spare a player or two to kill the surrounding zombies near the Hardpoint.
Hordepoint: Armored Apocalypse will be available accross 18 different maps, including the brand new maps Departures, Stash House, and Vista that were introduced in Season 2's Launch.
