How to Play Domination

Domination Overview

Domination has players capture and hold 3 strongholds on the map (A, B, and C). Holding and defending captured strongholds will allow you to generate points for your team. First to 200 points will win the match.

Note: The more strongholds you have captured, the faster you will accumulate points. Slay the enemy team and get a trip cap (triple capture) to rack up points for a quick victory.

No matter where you are on the map, you can keep track of the different control points on the map with this loadout. Deploy Tactical cameras on 2 control points and the Trophy System on the last one to have presence on all points of interest and even put a Claymore down for good measure.

Field Upgrade 1						Field Upgrade 2
Tactical Camera						Battle Rage
Kill Streaks

This loadout is for players that are constantly moving between all 3 control points on the map. Battle Rage gives players an edge when contesting a control point and if things get too hot you can call in your Kill Streaks to give you more info and extra firepower.

Tips and Strategies for Domination

Utilize Field Upgrades/Kill Streaks

In a game mode where you need to constantly monitor 3 points of interest, utilizing Field Upgrades and Kill Streaks are your best option. The Tactical Camera is a great Field Upgrade as you can deploy this anywhere on the map to keep an eye on objectives as long as you're in range.

Using lethal Kill Streaks like the Mortar Strike or SAE can help in denying enemies from capturing control points as you can call them to attack as soon as you see an objective being captured.

Keep Moving Between Objectives

While capturing objectives is the main goal of this game mode, protecting them is just as important. Camping at a single area can help protect a control point but going around the map and moving between the 3 points can be more beneficial as you can help your team in gunfights and potentially take control of all points.
