## **Walker Assault** On Hoth

Combat either the Rebels or The Empire on Hoth.

### Basic Description

*The Empire has deployed powerful AT-ATs in order to once and for all wipe out the The Rebel Alliance. To Combat this powerful threat the Rebels have prepared multiple Uplinks that need to be defended at all cost. These uplinks will call in Y-Wings to bomb the AT-ATs. It is only during the bombing raid that the AT-ATs can be damaged. If one or more AT-ATs reach their destination, the Empire will have won. IF all AT-ATs are destroyed, the victory will belong to the Rebels.*

## Game Mode Description

* Stay on the Move. It’s a Big Map: - Outpost Beta is large, and avoiding blaster fire from AT-ATs can be challenging. Unlocking and equipping the Thermal Detonator allows you to clear areas and open paths, making it easier to find an escape route when it’s most critical.
* Know Where You’re Needed Most: -Controlling the sky is important, but keep your boots in the snow unless there are other Starships in the airspace. Protecting or attacking the uplinks can be the difference between winning and losing the battle.
* Maximize Your Damage against the Enemy Objective: - The most useful items against vehicles are the ion-enhanced weapons, such as the Ion Shot and the Ion Grenade. The Ion Shot charges your weapon with ion bolts for a limited amount of time, allowing you to deal extra damage to AT-ATs and other vehicles.
* Sneaky Rebels: - As a Rebel, just as there are only a few seconds left before AT-ATs can make it to the first or second checkpoint, use the outpost inside the mountain to get close to the walkers. This prevents you from suffering the wrath of their Orbital Strike or heavy blasters. AT-ATs can only be attacked after being bombarded by your team’s Y-wings, so keeping your distance until then is the safest and most useful tactic.
* Imperial Might: - As an Imperial, keep pushing forward until you have secured either uplink. Once an uplink is secured, push a little farther to set up a defense and minimize the enemy’s chances of activating the uplink. The Squad Shield power card is very helpful when you are setting up a perimeter.
