[UPD🛡️] Raids: Night Tide
How the game is structured
Summary
The world is divided into biomes, and each biome holds several small enemy bases. Clearing those bases is what unlocks the Fortress in that biome. You can bring up to fifteen other players into a squad, which makes the missions easier to manage.
- Goal clear the small bases in a biome to open its Fortress
- Biomes each one is a separate area with its own set of bases
- Squad size up to 16 players can raid together
- Solo play the game works alone, but a squad makes it easier

Moving without being spotted
Tips
Getting detected triggers combat and puts your health at risk. If you are downed inside a base, you fail that base and have to try again.
- Watch where an enemy is facing before you move into their area.
- Use walls and obstacles to break line of sight whenever you advance.
- Coordinate with squadmates so you don't get surrounded by enemies from multiple sides.
Ranks, prestige, and stars
Check
Experience comes from completing bases. As your rank climbs, new equipment and features unlock. When you prestige, you earn stars that you can spend on perks or put toward Gamepasses.
- Earn experience by clearing bases every completed base adds to your rank.
- Prestige when the option is available to convert your progress into stars.
- Spend stars on in-game perks or use them to unlock Gamepasses.
