Insurgency: Sandstorm – Objectives

by Falagar / Articles, Misc. Guides / 12 Dec 2018

Objectives

Objectives are represented on the HUD with icons overlaid with their designated letter. Objectives are generally territorial or destructible.

Territorial Objectives

Territorial objectives are represented with circular icons. To capture an objective, you and any number of teammates must stay within the objective area until the progress reaches 100%.

Objectives can be blocked from capture by members of the owning team (defenders) standing in the objective. If the number of attackers outnumbers the defenders, attackers will still make progress towards the objective, but once the capture progress reaches 100%, any defending players will need to be cleared off the point to finalize the capture.

When attackers and defenders have equal numbers of players on the point, the capture progress will freeze and be shown as a STALEMATE on the HUD.

Destructible Objectives

Weapon Caches and Fuel Trucks are objectives that must be either protected or destroyed by players. They can be destroyed with C4, IEDs, rocket launchers, or any other explosive.

For weapon caches, if you do not have any explosives, you can interact to “rig” a weapon cache to blow by approaching it and pressing and holding F (use key). Once rigging is complete, the player will receive a detonator that must be used to blow up the cache.

Fuel Trucks, unlike caches, can be destroyed through weapon fire, although this requires significantly more damage. Like caches, fuel trucks can be interacted with by pressing and holding the use key. Once progress is complete, the fuel truck’s fuel will be depleted, which will disable the objective.
