Occupation
Occupation, stylised as Occupation!, is a game mode available in Ace of Spades.
Contents
Objective
The aim of the blue team is to take a bomb which spawns in one of a number of locations, to the green team's base, scoring three points for the blue team. Meanwhile, the aim of the green team is to intercept the bomb, either hiding it or allowing it to explode in a safe location outside of their base. If the bomb explodes outside of the green teams's base, then the green team is awarded one point.
The target score of 30, and limit of a single bomb can both be changed in a Custom Match.
Players carrying the bomb are slowed down significantly and are unable to fire their weapon, making them an easy target for the opposing team unless they are protected by their team mates. If a player is killed whilst carrying the bomb, it will be dropped on the ground and explode after 10 seconds, causing damage and possible death to any players in the vicinity. The fuse time of the bomb can be changed in a Custom Match.
A green team's 'base' is defined as the area within the green glowing box. A green border will appear around the players screen when they are within the confines of the green base.
The icon pointing to the bomb is coloured depending on status:
- Black and White - Bomb is safe
- Green - Bomb is carried by a Defender
- Blue - Bomb is carried by an Attacker
- Red - Bomb is not carried and will blow up
Icons
- Shows bomb location. Coloured to match status of bomb (see above).
- Shows base location. Coloured green in-game.
Tactics
Engineer
The Engineer can fly using the Engineer Jetpack, making taking the bomb to the green base easier and quicker. However, this advantage may be offset by the Engineer's low health so players should make sure the Engineer is well protected if using this tactic.
Hiding the Bomb
Players on the green team may choose to hide the Bomb by holding it in a hidden location and attacking any players from the blue team who attempt to take it. This will make both teams unable to score any points, so is best used when the green team is in the lead. A tunnel is an effective place to hide the bomb.
