Desert Storm — Battlefield Buildings & Phase Play

Which buildings to hold, when to push, and how to score in the cross-server storm event.

Last updated 4/17/2026

Desert Storm is a cross-server battle where points come from capturing and holding buildings. Knowing which ones matter — and in which phase — is the difference between top 3 and tenth place.

Phase play

  1. Phase 1 (first 12–15 min): rush the outer buildings — Oil Refinery, Info Center, Science Hub, Field Hospitals. These fuel your team's speed and healing for the rest of the match, so an early lead compounds.
  2. Phase 2 (Engage): contest mid-map. Mercenary Factory gives squad attack/defense, Arsenal boosts HP. Hold whichever matches your squad type and makes the best trades.
  3. Phase 3 (Capture): Nuclear Silo is the highest single-value target. Whichever team owns it during capture mode gets the biggest score dump. Do not stretch for it alone — rally before you move.
