The confirmed Offensive structure
The official feature page describes Offensive as a mode with an attacking side and a defending side. That is the reliable answer to what the mode is in the supplied material. It gives the match a directional objective, but it does not publish a complete list of capture, ticket or reinforcement rules.
Read your squad’s assignment before moving. If your side is attacking, your action should help the push and its objective; if your side is defending, your action should help hold the position the match is asking you to protect. The live map and current orders supply the details the collected page does not.
How to approach an attack
An attacker should start from the squad plan rather than a personal route. Confirm where the objective is, what support is available and whether the squad is moving together. The sources do not confirm an exact attack timer or capture condition, so this guide focuses on communication and the stated side assignment.
The official Vietnam systems can shape the approach. US helicopters provide fire support and supply drops, NVA tunnel networks provide surprise approaches and patrol boats open armed movement through the river network. Use them as team tools when the current plan calls for them, not as unsupported promises about every attack.
How to approach defence
A defender should understand the position being held and stay connected to the squad’s information. The confirmed attacker-versus-defender split is enough to frame the job, while the live match supplies the active area and current priorities. Do not assume a defensive rule that is not stated in the supplied sources.
Movement and recovery still matter on defence. The official page names swimming, climbing, fast crawling and dragging downed teammates, so a defensive squad can use the confirmed movement set to reposition or recover. Exact routes, limits and interaction timings are left out because they were not verified.
Offensive inside the six-mode set
The official page confirms six distinct modes in total and names the Offensive structure alongside Warfare. Four alternating modes are mentioned without verified names in the source material. This page keeps that wider context visible so readers do not mistake Offensive for the entire game or add unsupported mode labels.
Warfare gives a different five-sector tug-of-war flow, while Offensive gives each side a clear attack or defence identity. Use the mode page that matches the current match and avoid copying rules between them. A short structural answer is safer than a detailed but unverified rule list.
A clean first-match checklist
Before the first Offensive deployment, complete the revamped tutorial, join a squad and ask which side assignment the squad is following. Keep the objective visible, communicate when the situation changes and choose a role group that supports the plan. The public role pages disagree on the total role count, so no fixed class ranking is needed here.
After the match, use the official game page and current update channel for changes. This page does not publish ticket numbers, timers, map names, vehicle rosters or current player counts because those values were not established by the supplied material. The goal is an accurate mode briefing that remains clear about its limits.
