Escalation

This is an individual game where the Bases become more valuable each time they are destroyed.

Players require a variable number of hits to be deactivated based upon skill level as per a normal Individual mission. All special abilities operate as they do in a normal Individual mission.

At the start of the mission, each Base only requires 1 shot to be destroyed. When the Base is destroyed it will deactivate for all players for a random amount of time. After the Base reactivates the player who destroyed it will be unable to zap it for, at least, a further 5 seconds. Destroying a Base awards points, special points, Scatter Blasts and some Rapid Fire ammo. Each time a Base is destroyed:

• the number of hits by a player required to destroy it increases
• it awards more points, special points, Scatter Blasts and Rapid Fire ammo when next destroyed
• it stays deactivated for longer when destroyed

The table below shows how the number of hits to destroy the target, plus it’s the points that are awarded:
