Sabotage is a new battleground match-type coming to WildStar, by way of an all-new map whose very name evokes all the many joys of time-bombing: Daggerstone Pass! But be warned, countdown enthusiasts: victory at Sabotage will require more than just pyromania. You’ll need cunning strategy, meticulously coordinated attacks, and, most important of all, a willingness to blow up enemies.
In the demo-licious world of Sabotage, cooperation and communication are paramount. Holding objectives in the center of the map allows the controlling team to bombard enemy defenses with devastating frequency. But since even momentary neglect leaves your base vulnerable to the same punishment, every decision could have pivotal consequences.
The only question is, will you be sharp…or shrapnel?

The Legendary endless battle for Daggerstone Pass!
When Exile settlers intent on building an ore mine arrived in Daggerstone Pass at the same time as a Dominion scientific expedition there to plumb the treasures of the nearby Eldan ruin, things were sort of touch and go at first. After several meetings, both sides agreed to a 30-second “delay of hostilities.”
Vein in the Pass!
After much debate within their respective groups, the commanders of both sides met, famously shrugged, and simultaneously uttered the now iconic phrase, “Let’s fight now…” The violent battle for the whole enchilada has raged steadily and inconclusively ever since.
It is said that sometimes on a dark night, if one listens carefully between the constant deafening bomb explosions, one can hear the soulful kibitzing of sidelined miners, archeologists, and real estate developers hoping in vain for a chance to work…
Here’s how else it works: if yours dies, you lose!
It’s like the old saying goes, “A fortress without a fusion core is just a fortress.” That’s why if you’re serious about humiliating enemies, you’ll go for the quick win by pummeling your enemy right where it hurts: in his neutrons!
Look, you can’t just mosey up and club a fusion core with a sword! This is the future, so you’ll need to use explosions. Either drop bombs from airships or hand-deliver some BOOM! And your science teacher tried to tell you nucleosynthesis was “complicated,” pfft.
You’ll find a handsome trio of satellite uplinks located in the central region of Daggerstone Pass: The Eldan Ruins. No Man’s Land. The Mines. These uplinks not only define (and enhance) the expansion of your territory, but their seizure and activation lets your team call in airships to drop bombs on your enemy’s base. They’ll never see it coming, unless they happen to be looking up!
What’s the catch? Uplinks are subject to interruption by enemies so battles for uplinks will often be fierce, with the tide of battle hinging on perfectly timed, well-executed attacks. Will you be ready when that time comes…or will you be up link creek?
Make your enemies an offer they can’t defuse by planting bombs in the one area they’ll least expect: E V E R Y W H E R E ! ! ! Equally effective against clumps of enemies and fusion cores, there’s no better, louder, or funnier way to say “I hate you.” Best of all, you don’t need to be a specialist to handle these explosives, let alone know the first thing about safety. Just pick it up, transport it to the places and/or people that you’re interested in blowing up, and bomb’s your uncle!
Through the magic of modern explosionology, a handy countdown timer automatically ticks down the seconds, freeing you up to be splattered with smoldering gobs of enemy pate! Only you can see your team’s timer, so don’t be afraid to leave the enemy a gift... with 3 seconds left. He may just want to come back for three second helpings!
If an enemy player leaves a bomb lying around, make like a tree and drop it right on either his head or his fusion core’s head. But be careful, debris enthusiast: gettin’ someone to clean up that much mess won’t come cheap!
Sages claim the only achievement worth doing is to be known as an honest man. Fail! Flaunt your sublime skilldiggery at carrying explosives by unlocking over a dozen new Sabo-themed achievements and collectible DIS-honorifics! What better way to add insult to injury than by pointing out to your opponents that they’ve just been blown up by the Scourge of Daggerstone Pass? After all, your face isn’t just the last thing they ever see – it’s one they’ll never forget!
