Proxy Attack

A Proxy Attack is a method of cyberwarfare where the attacking system impregnates the enemy system, intercepting and compromising communications.

Cyberwarfare is the use of information warfare for political means, such as the disruption of state-level projects, or the sabotage of a nation's infrastructure. With battlefields becoming increasingly dependent on technology, cyberwarfare is designed to mitigate such a force multiplier for the enemy.

Battlefield 4
Proxy Attack is a "Default Loop" commander resource that prevents the enemy commander from taking action for 15 seconds by interfering with their connection to ground forces. The enemy commander can still use satellite view and track the progress of individual soldiers, but cannot use any resources for the duration of the attack.

Ground units will be alerted to the disruption by voice prompts.

Proxy Attack takes a long time to recharge.

It is not yet known if in-game voice chat between the commander and squad leaders is affected.
