Published: 2026/01/31 00:29:30

Highguard, the ‍free-too-play PvP raid shooter, is testing a new⁣ team size with the ‍introduction of an experimental five-on-five Raid playlist. This change, announced by Wildlight, aims to provide players with expanded match-up⁤ options ‍and a different strategic⁣ experience [[1]].

What is ⁤Highguard?

For those unfamiliar, Highguard places players in the role of Wardens battling for control of a⁢ mythical continent. The core gameplay revolves around securing the shieldbreaker and using it to breach enemy bases⁤ [[3]]. Players can‍ upgrade‍ their arsenal with new guns, armor, saddles, and magical amulets [[1]].

details of the 5v5 Raid Playlist

The 5v5 Raid playlist is currently experimental and not⁢ intended⁣ to⁤ replace the existing three-on-three Raids.⁢ though, Wildlight is evaluating its potential for becoming a permanent feature.Key differences in the⁤ 5v5 mode include:

• Increased Lives: Teams now⁢ have⁤ 10 ‍lives instead of the standard six.
• Respawn ⁣Timers: Respawn times are slightly longer to allow for more strategic play around generator bombs.

Wildlight has cautioned players that‍ while recent patches have included⁤ optimization improvements, performance in the ⁣5v5 Raids may not be considerably improved at this time [[1]].

Current Limitations

Currently, the ⁤Firing Range does not support the 5v5 mode. ⁣As an inevitable result, the Play button will be grayed ‍out for parties exceeding three ⁢players [[1]].

A Response to Player Feedback

The introduction of⁤ the 5v5 Raid playlist is a direct response to feedback from the Highguard player base,who expressed‍ a ‍desire⁣ for more varied match-up options [[1]]. This demonstrates Wildlight’s commitment to actively engaging with its community and evolving the game based on player input.
