Tips

Perks: FLAK JACKET is highly recommended for survival during HQ captures. Other Tier 1 Perks can be used for support roles. Players focused on killing should consider HARDLINE or SCAVANGER PRO.
Hardline Perk: Enables a SPY PLANE after 2 kills, revealing enemy positions.
Scavenger Pro Perk: Ensures a constant supply of ammo and grenades. Dual mags are recommended attachments.
Killstreaks (KSR): Prioritize reconnaissance. Consider COUNTER SPY PLANE over shooting down enemy SPY PLANES.
Napalm Strikes: Effective for clearing out non-FLAK JACKET PRO enemies from the HQ. Deploy them around 5 seconds before the HQ goes online.
SAM Turrets: Useful for dealing with enemy SPY PLANES and helicopters, and can quickly destroy Cobras. Deploy them only when necessary.
Napalm, Rolling Thunder, and Mortar Team: Best deployed around 5 seconds to online time, so they are active as the HQ goes live. Can be used on teammates or to stall enemies.
Cobra: Effective for suppressing enemy movement onto the HQ, though GHOST PRO players may bypass it. It can help control enemy approaches.
Team Coordination: Do not play alone. Coordinate KSR groupings with your team; not all players need SPY PLANE.
Competition: Expect strong competition, often with pre-made teams.

Significant XP and bonuses for high scores and efficient captures.
Headquarters is considered one of the best game modes for XP gain, second only to Search and Destroy.
