Here
are some tips specific to Onslaught:
- It’s a team game, so play as one. Attack in groups.
- When attacking the Power Core, have a group of three people.
Two can concentrate on the Core, while the third will keep
an eye out for any enemies.
- A lot of the vehicles can hold multiple people. The Hellbender
has room for two additional gunners, the Manta can hold
two players on the sides, the Leviathan can hold a bevy
of people… if possible, try not to take a vehicle
that holds more than the driver without any passengers.
A fully loaded Hellbender is more deadly than a driver with
a horn.
- Use the alternate fire of the Link Gun to speed up construction
of a Power Node.
- If you see someone building a Node, use your Link Gun’s
alternate fire and aim it at the teammate; this increases
the power of the teammate’s weapon, increasing the
construction rate.
- The Link Gun’s alternate fire can also be used to
repair damaged Nodes and damaged vehicles.
- As soon as the game begins, get to a Node. If you see
someone going for one, go for the next closest one. The
faster you get the Nodes, the faster vehicles will spawn,
the faster you can get to the enemy Core.
- Learn to use the AVRiL, so you can target and shoot down
incoming enemy vehicles, especially the Manta and Raptor.

| Stationed at 24,000 feet and veiled
behind blinding fog and constant snow, Arctic Stronghold
provided the perfect place to conduct unsanctioned military
experiments for use against the Skaarj. Restructured for
Onslaught, this arena allows several paths to your enemy,
and countless paths to death for the foolish or unwary. |

| In 2352, an anomalous volcanic eruption
on the outskirts of Jerusalem partially unearthed a city
far below the lost city of Ekron. Four years of intensive
excavation revealed a civilization that predated all known
human history. Purchased by Liandri corporation for the
price of excavation, the souls of arena combatants now
join the forgotten dead of the unremembered past. |

| When Government prospectors happened
upon this planet, Liandri knew they had found their next
Onslaught arena. A primordial world still in the early
stages of life, the lush landscape and rolling hills provide
a serene and fitting environment for wholesale destruction. |

| Set among the crumbling ruins of the
last Nali fortress, these icefields were the final stand
of the Nali against the Skaarj. Driving their Stone Giants
before them, the Skaarj lay siege to the city for three
weeks, at last breaking down the perimeter wall and wiping
out all within for their effrontery. Now an arena of Onslaught,
the vast range of this location will test the teamwork
and focus of the very best. |

| Don’t be deceived by the apparent
simplicity found in this frozen waste. Although it’s
among the smallest arenas for Onslaught, Frostbite is
defined by frenetic pace and pitched battles. |

| Nestled away in the darkness of the
Primeval Forest, this Onslaught arena is a favorite of
loggers and treehuggers alike. |

| Deep-space exploration has revealed
a phenomenon never before observed-a planetary system
with NO sun. Infra-Red light reacting with carbon dioxide
in the high atmosphere bathes the planet in a searing,
blood-red glow. Experiments have shown that more than
18 hours on this planet will cause irreversible insanity.
You won’t live that long… |

| Eons past, the inhabitants of these
forgotten ruins summoned a being of elemental darkness,
which they imprisoned and lulled to sleep with the blood
of countless sacrifices. In the stillness between battles,
one can sometimes hear the voice of this titan, roused
from sleep, awaiting your blood. |

| Set on the dried outskirts of a lush
jungle continent, two factions clash in fierce combat
for control of a major communications tower and its adjacent
power supply. With the dam holding back the waters from
the nearby jungle, the dried out riverbed running across
the battlefield allows for an easy attack route into enemy
territory and could provide a decisive victor with ownership
of the enormous Comm-tower as the reward. |
