Outpost Strike

Outpost Strike — cover art

Hold the line from behind cover: pop up to shoot, drag to aim, and duck before the red ring closes. Five waves, then the commander.

How to play Outpost Strike

  1. Hold FIRE to pop out of cover — your rifle fires while you hold. Drag anywhere to move the crosshair, and let go to duck back down.
  2. Before an enemy shoots, a red ring closes around them. Duck before it closes and the shot misses; a shot only hurts while you are out of cover.
  3. Headshots score more and every kill in a row raises your streak. Grenades reach enemies behind cover. Clear five waves, then defeat the commander.

What it asks of you

Timing when to come out of cover, and placing headshots under pressure.

Is it fair?

Every player in your group gets the identical Outpost Strike board, generated on the server from one shared seed. Scoring has no random element, so the same play produces the same score for everyone, and opponents are matched by an Elo rating earned from results.
