At launch, the primary game mode in Highguard is Raid Mode. In Raid Mode, two teams of three will battle over possesion of the shieldbreaker. If a team is able to get the shieldbreaker to an enemy's base and plunge it into their dome, they will intiate a raid. During a raid, the objective of the attackers is to plant bombs on either both generators or plant just one bomb on the anchor stone. Defenders must protect those objectives and whittle down the attacker's lives to end the raid. In addition to Raid Mode, players can go to the Training Grounds for a tutorial, or practice together in the Firing Range.
