Tips and Strategies for Ground War

Move Between Objectives

There are 5 points of interest in Ground War and you will need to control them to get a better chance of winning. If you find yourself losing control of a point, it might be better to concede and regroup with your team. You can get back to it once your team gets better control of the battlefield.

Scale the Structures

Ground War maps are unique from other game modes that take place on smaller maps as you can climb different buildings and get a variety of vantage points. Take advantage of this feature by getting to the top of the different structures where you can attack unsuspecting enemies from above.
