Anyone else find hunting invaders on your map more fun than invading the other team?
I have 125 Not On My Watch medals which is for defeating an invader within 10 seconds before they kill anyone on your team. I've become exceptionally good at predicting when and where the invader will appear and I'd guess about half of those medals are actually less than 2 second kills, before the invader even knows what hit them.
Some tips to help you and your team combat those pesky invaders.
1. Each map has only 3 potential invasion points which are fixed. One per combat zone.
2. During banking phase the invasion point will seldom be the same as the zone currently occupied by enemies.
3. The invasion zone is almost never the same twice, so it's best to prioritize the points which were not the spawn for the last invasion.
4. Each map has at least one area where you can easily cover two if not all three invasion points. My preference is Island, Ruins, Canals, and the platform above Base respectively.
5. If you're on invader duty, back out to your cover spot when the other team has enough motes to bank for a portal. Unless your team is already invading then carry on.
6. My favorite anti-invader weapons are in order (1K Voices, Colony, and Queenbreaker). Yes, I said Colony. It's a fantastic counter to these QB invaders because you can spam it at them and kill them without breaking cover and without direct line of sight. In my opinion it's only outclassed in shutting down invaders by 1K Voices which is good for all the same reason, but does much better boss damage.
Now get out there and hunt those invaders and remember guardians, there's a special place in hell for all of you who hide from invaders while carrying zero motes. Protect your teammates!!!
