Breakthrough - New Crucible Mode

[GazzaGarratt 11,049]

Breakthrough is a new mode for crucible and is available all week.

 

Essentially it's split into 2 parts. First part is both teams are on attack to capture a zone (breaker). Whoever captures the zone is on Attack for part 2.

 

The attacking team then need to take control of the other teams zone (vault). The other team must defend it and stop them from capturing it.

 

First to 3. On the Competitive Playlist.

Played only one game but gotta be honest, it didn't feel like an enjoyable mode from the get go.

It may be easier just to defend your point if I'm honest.

No thanks.

The one game we played by half way through I'd had enough terrible game mode.

Not even sure I could last 5 games for the loot.

Breakthrough came back at Tuesday reset and has immediately been pulled from the Competitive Playlist.

Even after many tweaks to how the mode plays and who secures what, it doesn't take away from utterly no advantage to winning the first point.

Hopefully it goes away never to return. Just focus on more tweaks or specialist Control modes.
