The current focus is Stockpile, a 4v4 FPS about securing and depositing Sigma. Deposits win the match; carrying too much reveals your position, and a stockpile reduced to zero disables abilities. Collection, frequent banking and defense create different priorities.
Read the worked decision example →
Impact zones or rival stockpile; heavy loads expose you.
Grav-Sync adds score and strengthens abilities.
A depleted stockpile disables abilities.
Stockpile centres on securing and depositing Sigma. Fighting supports that objective: collection near impacts or pressure on a rival stockpile must connect with transport to a relocating Grav-Sync. Successful collection alone does not complete the loop. Look at which part of that route the team needs to support.
[1] · [2]The published rules say carrying too much reveals your position. A larger haul therefore changes exposure as well as quantity. Compare another collection opportunity with a deposit, considering the route and team situation. No safe carrying amount or optimal deposit interval was established through testing.
[1]A depleted stockpile disables abilities under the documented rules, connecting defence with future options. Sending everyone in pursuit and keeping support near the stockpile have different implications. Operator changes on respawn offer another way to reconsider a missing role. This account concerns Stockpile, not objectives imported from older mode descriptions.

Why compare this game Compare swapping limbs and recovering HEXes rather than carrying Sigma and defending delivery points.
A third-person shooter with in-match limb and weapon-mod changes. Adjust mobility and attack roles while deciding whether combat or HEX extraction takes priority.
