Dawn Raid

Overview

Dawn Raid is a team Adversary Mode for 2 to 12 players split into two teams. It came with the Gunrunning update and was released on June 30, 2017, during the Independence Day event. It plays like a capture-the-flag match set at dawn. Both teams jump out of a hovering Cargobob and race to find a transmitter hidden in one of many crates.

How it works

• Each player has Night Vision and Thermal Vision goggles, along with a combat loadout.
• Players use the Trackify app to work out which crate holds the transmitter. Having the app open leaves you exposed.
• Once someone grabs the transmitter, both teams can see it. The carrier moves more slowly and cannot jump, so the team has to escort them to their drop-off point beside a black Speedo.
• If nobody delivers it in time, Sudden Death starts. Players have 30 seconds to get inside a dome around the transmitter, then one minute to wipe out the other team. Otherwise, the team with more survivors wins.
• The team that wins the most rounds wins the match.
• Maps include the Redwood Lights Track, Thomson Scrapyard, the Fridgit factory in La Mesa, the Paleto Forest Sawmill, a derelict motel in Sandy Shores and O'Neil Ranch.

Tips

• Spread out while searching, and have one player watch the others while they scan with Trackify.
• Switch to thermal vision to spot enemies hiding in the dark.
• Surround the carrier. Their slow speed makes them an easy target.

Rewards and unlocks
