Loadout and gear
Bring Plasma Circuit, Arc Lattice, Circuit Spike, Firewall, and System Crash. Four Furnace Link pieces help repeat skills while moving between cover. Two Cryo Warden pieces add Integrity for the beacon approach. Use Null Pulse when both sweepers have a line through the approach. Use the unmodified slowing zone when enemies must cross a single narrow doorway.
Loot route
Fire from cover before approaching a decoder. Slow a choke with Firewall and keep Circuit Spike for a rival who crosses in the open. Pick up when the nearest threat moves out of sight, then route toward the beacon with System Crash still available for close pursuit.
Sweep the lanes near the beacon before beginning the channel. A flare alerts nearby runners. Leave the beacon if you need to break line of sight and try again when you can hold its 2.4 m radius for the full 15 seconds.
Siege and banking
If your faction can raid the leading faction’s vault, approach with another attacker when possible and keep an exit lane clear. Raid rewards join your carried caches. Treat the successful beacon return as the point when the loot is banked.
