Incursions

0:0:0

Incursions is a gamemode set to be introduced to Battlefield 1. The gamemode is centered on competitive play between players in 5v5 matches. It was announced on August 21st, 2017 at Gamescom 2017. Registration was open for the Closed Alpha on PC.

Overview
The gamemode pits two teams of five players against one another in small-scale battles. The games are played out over 20 sets, the winner being the first to win 11 sets. The winner of a set is the first team to accumulate 15 tickets within that set. Tickets are awarded for killing, performing squad wipes, destroying an enemy vehicle, and holding flags.

Similar to Frontlines, the gamemode features 3 flags that can only be captured sequentially. Players will choose between eight different preset subclasses before the start of a match and cannot change their class once the match has started. The gamemode features its own progression system which gives players access to improved weapons and specializations within the match based on a combination of time and performance. A limited number of vehicles will also be available as well as lobby-based matchmaking.

Kits
The kits featured in Incursions are loadouts focused exclusively for the gamemode. Some of the kits use weapons normally available to a different class, and some of the gadgets and specializations are modified from the base game.

Along with equipment, each kit has access to a default specialization. As play progresses, players may gain two additional specializations.
