Maelstrom
Game mode
Checked as of · 1 official source · 2 min read
The announced multiplayer mode where dynamic objectives appear across the map and award Victory Points.
Objectives that appear dynamically
The multiplayer AMA lists Maelstrom among the selectable matchmaking modes. Its published condition is to secure objectives that dynamically appear across the map in order to gain Victory Points. That defines the mode’s distinguishing feature: the scoring targets are not described as fixed Strategic Positions, but as objectives that appear during the match.
The source places Maelstrom beside Annihilation and Domination in the Quick Match discussion. It does not publish the number of objectives, their duration, their value, their spawn rules or how they are contested. The page keeps the mode’s dynamic-objective concept separate from a guessed map script.
Dynamic does not mean documented randomness
The official sentence confirms that objectives appear dynamically and award Victory Points, but it does not reveal how the system chooses the next location or how a lead is calculated. It does not publish a fixed route, score limit or faction that benefits most from the mode. Those are the questions a played match or later authority would have to answer.
This page therefore explains the announced win-condition concept and stops there. Maelstrom is confirmed as a selectable multiplayer mode with dynamic objectives and Victory Points; exact timing, map behaviour, scoring and strategy remain unconfirmed before release.

No cost, build time, hit points, range, damage or squad size here — none of it has been published, by anyone. The game has not shipped and no playable build has produced figures that can be checked. Those rows appear the day the numbers exist.
