Capture More Objectives For More Points

Having control of majority of the objectives will reward your team with more points! Try to capture as many objectives as you can!

Recommended Specialist

Attack With: AJAX

Reason For Recommendation

AJAX is a good attacker on point since he can disorient enemies with the 9-Bang then push in. He also has some added protection with his Ballistic Shield if he gets outnumbered by enemies in an area.

Defend With: TORQUE

Reason For Recommendation

TORQUE can deny enemies entry to your area with his Razor Wire. He is good at securing an area, and giving enemies a hard time trying to capture your area! It is best to deploy your Razor Wires at choke points to stop enemies!

Defend With: RECON

Reason For Recommendation

RECON's Sensor Dart can give you and your teammates some much needed vision when defending an area. The sensor dart will reveal incoming enemies in your team's minimap to help you prepare for fights!

Recommended Weapon

ICR-7 (Assault Rifle)

Reason For Recommendation

When the map has wider areas, ICR-7 is recommended. ICR-7 works great as it has high accuracy and fire rate among assault rifles.

GKS (SMG)

Reason For Recommendation

When map is comparatively narrow, GKS is recommended. GKS has high fire rate and a big mag size, so it can let you combat against enemies in succession. Also, thanks to its high accuracy among SMGS, you can even aim at enemies in mid-range.

Recommended Gear

Armor

Reason For Recommendation

Since combat is frequent in Multiplayer Modes, you need protection to sustain yourself during matches. Armor will help you win the 1vs1 battle and recommended both for beginners and veterans.

Recommended Perk

Cold Blooded

Reason For Recommendation

You will have less chances to die with this perk. With Cold blooded your resistance gets higher to enemy ability like equipment and Scorestreaks. Also, you will not be targeted by enemy score streaks.

Ghost

Reason For Recommendation

As you are undetectable by enemy UAV, Ghost perk can protect you from enemy Scorestreaks.

Dead Silence

Reason For Recommendation

With Dead Silence, you will hardly be found by enemy sensors, so it helps you ambush near domination area or taking enemies back.

DOMINATION - Gameplay Tips

Go With Your Allies When Capturing Areas

Since enemies ambush you when you try to capture areas, you cannot just cease them alone. Cooperate with your allies and overwhelm ambushes.

Move Little & Ambush After Capturing Areas

When capturing an area, you do not need to stay in to keep it captured. So, move a bit away from the area and ambush. Don't make noise so you won't be detected by sensors of enemies.
