How does squad rush work

The most common tank is Reinhardt, who can easily shield the backline with his large barrier. But he also provides a fair amount of damage and kill secure potential, making him the best tank choice.

Va is also a possible rush comp contender because of her ability to fly at and disrupt high-ground DPS heroes. In a rush comp, speed is your friend since the faster you can get to the enemy team, the faster you can disorient them and pick them off. The traditional rush DPS is Mei. Mei is crucial since her slow potential helps isolate and focus a particular target, which is the hallmark of a rush comp. The objective is less important, particularly on payload maps and phases. The most important component lies in the way you approach a match.

Teammates can create a more strategic lineup that is suitable for the rest of the team. Teams are divided into two squads, blue and red, with 4 players in each squad. The blue team consists of your own squad, while the red team is for your squad opponents. Similar to the Classic and Coop modes, Each player will face random enemies from the other side of the squad on every match. In Squad Clash mode, there is no health for each player.

Rather than having the usual health for each player, it has a whopping health that is shared among the total squad of teammates. It provides a larger health cap for the team to sustain damage from the reinforcements coming from the other side of squads and to give enough time for a comeback for the losing team. In the game interface, the health bar for the squad can be seen as the green bar at the right corner.

While the health bar for the enemy squad is the red bar. In the image below, during the match, our health bar is down to after the 19th round. The icons are: green happy face for winning, and a red sad face for losing. Unlike the coop mode where you can put two additional heroes to backup your duo teammates, in Squad Clash mode you can send the two surviving heroes as reinforcement to a teammate whose match is still in progress. The appearance of M-COM Stations has changed, appearing more like military server consoles than mobile satellite control stations.

The vertically standing station makes it more difficult for soldiers to take cover by going prone near it. Players also can only destroy stations through means of armed explosives. If the ticket count of the attacking team has reached zero whenever only one station remains at a base and is armed, the game will still proceed until the station is either destroyed or defused.

To compensate this advantage for the Attackers, Defenders can delay detonation of an armed objective while defusing it. Attackers have 75 tickets by default and Defenders have unlimited tickets, with each base taken by the Attackers replenishing their ticket count. Battlefield 3 also has several dog tags that can be unlocked by playing the Rush game mode. Rush is a gamemode featured in Battlefield 4 , playing in an almost identical manner to that of its predecessor.

With the introduction of Levolution to the series, the resulting destruction of roughly half of the defending team's M-COM stations results in the trigger of the corresponding maps main Levolution event, making it impossible for players to trigger them.

The appearance of M-COM stations themselves have also changed. Attackers had a default set of 75 tickets on most maps though this was later increased to tickets with the release of the September patch. This patch also refocused the game mode on infantry gameplay and proceeded to rearrange M-COM stations layouts on stock maps to accommodate for this. Rush is a gamemode featured in Battlefield 1. Core gameplay is otherwise the same, with attackers having 75 tickets with which to attack each pair of the defenders' objectives.

The player count is strictly limited to 24 players to maintain balance. New to this iteration of Rush is the ability for defenders to use the telegraph posts to call in artillery strikes upon the attacking team. This makes it more critical for attackers to have sight on the objectives. The gamemode is featured in the Battle of Hannut Grand Operation as one of the days and was released on February 21, A stand-alone variant of the gamemode was made available for a limited time from March 7—20, , only available on the maps Devastation , Narvik and Twisted Steel.

After making adjustments following feedback, Rush returned during Chapter 4 Week 4 July 18—24, Operation Underground , Mercury and Rotterdam became playable on the mode during Battlefest Week 2 October , The gamemode functions in the same manner as in Battlefield 1. Both teams fight to attack or defend telegraph stations or artillery guns depending on sector.

Rounds are played in pairs, with teams switching sides before the second round. Squad Rush is a downsized version of the Rush gametype.
