Cargo | Game modes Star Wars: Battlefront Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

This mode is the Star-Wars-fashioned mode the appears in other shooters as "Capture the flag". The goal of both teams is to seize crates they find in enemy bases. A match in this mode is participated by twelve players. Neither heroes nor vehicles are available here.

How does it work

In this mode, at the beginning of the match, both teams receive 5 points.

Near bases of both teams, there are stations with crates - these are key for this mode. The aim of each team is to infiltrate the opponent's base, collect the crate, and carry it all the way across the map, to own base.

If successful, the team receives a point, and the opponents lose one point. This happens because the number of points corresponds to the number of crates around the map, and there always are 10 of them.

If a player is killed, while carrying the crate, it drops onto the ground and it can be picked up by any player. If this is done by an ally of the dead soldier, he resumes the run to his own base If the crate is picked up by the opponent, he does not have to run back to his base and the crate returns to the starting point.

The match is won by the team that either has collected all 10 crates or has more of them, after 15 minutes.

Hints

1. Put defense before attack

This mode is yet another one, where the player keeps running ahead, regardless of the situation on the map, In order to steal the crate from the opponent. However, defense is just as important. Apart from that, it is easier to defend than to attack. This is why you should try to defend the crates your team has. However, do not stand in one spot, by the crate. Remain in movement and try to get the attacking enemy from behind.

2. Haste is not always recommended

Do not haste if you are near the enemy base and are going to steal the opponent's crate. A point will be allotted to you after you steal the crate and carry it over to your base, anyway. This is why, if the opponents are defending the base, do not run headlong towards the crate and try to eliminate several opponents beforehand.

However, there are situations, in which haste and risk are recommended. When an opponent drops the crate, you need to dash towards it and collect it, at which point it returns to the base. In such a situation, it is even better to sacrifice your life, for the good of the entire team. It is a good idea to use star card then - personal shield.
