Battlefield 1 Incursions Splash Screen April 10

Incursions is a gamemode introduced in Battlefield 1. The gamemode is centered on competitive play between players in 5v5 matches, similar to Competitive Match mode in the game's predecessor, Battlefield Hardline. It was announced on 21 August 2017 at Gamescom 2017.[1] Support for the gamemode has ended as of 25 April 2019, at which point it is no longer able to be played.[2]

Overview[]

The gamemode pits two teams of five players against one another in small-scale battles. Regardless of the map, there are only two factions: Allies and Central Powers.

On Giant's Shadow, The games are played out over 14 sets, the winner being the first to win 8 sets. The winner of a set is the first team to accumulate 10 tickets within that set. Tickets are awarded for killing, performing squad wipes, destroying an enemy vehicle, and holding flags.[3]. Similar to Frontlines, the gamemode features 3 flags that can only be captured sequentially. Players will choose between ten 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 specializations within the match based on teamplay and performing tasks that benefits the team. A limited number of vehicles will also be available as well as lobby-based matchmaking.

On Sinai Desert, DICE announced a new gamemode called "King of the Hill". The mode has three sectors per half. To win a match, team need to win four sectors. Each sector has one flag to contest. Holding the flag generates tickets, and the first team to fill a set wins the sector. No other action than holding the flag contributes to tickets. When a sector is completed, both teams are transferred to the next sector.[4] If the match end as draw (3-3), 2 overtime phases will start.

Amiens is available Incursions with the gamemode called "Squad Breakthrough". Squad Breakthrough play like Operations with the smaller scale by reduce number of flags per sector to 1 and shorter distance.[5]
