Enemy Scorpion Tank next to Gate 1
Siege is a Game Mode in Blacklight: Retribution that was released on August 13th 2012. Along with Siege, there is also be a new map released, Nuken.
Objective
One team will be escorting a player controlled Scorpion Tank. While the opposing team will try and stop the Tank from getting to the "finish line." The escort team will not only need to escort but will also need to hack barriers, to lower them, and repair the Scorpion Tank, using Repair Tool back slot gear, in order to keep the Tank moving forward.
The defending team will need to defend the barriers from escorting agents, and use depot items like the RL5 Armor Stinger, to incapacitate the tank long enough for the timer to run out, winning the match. The tank can only move along a predefined path.
