'''Onslaught''' is an activity introduced with ''[[Into the Light (update)|Into the Light]]''.

==Overview==
Onslaught is a wave-based defense activity where players fight against the forces of the [[House of Salvation]] and [[Xivu Arath's Horde]] sent by [[The Witness|the Witness]]. Players must defend and repair the [[Advanced Defense Unit|ADU]] against waves of combatants, which are ten waves to a set. If the ADU is destroyed, the activity ends. Players can earn an in-game currency called '''Scrap'''  by scoring and be used to purchase and upgrade defenses at the start of every set and after waves three and six. The playlist version has players complete one set while the Normal and Legend versions has five sets of escalating difficulty similar to [[The Coil|the Coil]]. The Extinguish [[Modifier|modifier]] activates by default on Legend, or after completing Wave 30 on Normal.

==Gameplay==
Once the activity starts, players must defeat enemies to set up the ADU. Once the ADU is set up, players can spend scrap on decoys, turrets, or tripmines. These defenses can be upgraded after completing certain waves. Combatants, especially [[Saboteur (Onslaught)|Saboteur]]s and [[Champion]]s, will attempt to occupy the area surrounding the [[Advanced Defense Unit|ADU]] and cause as much damage to it. They can also drop ADU batteries which can be picked up and thrown at either the ADU or any defenses in need of repair, granting a bump of recovery to them.

===Bonus Objective Wave===
On every 2nd, 5th, and 8th wave in a set, a bonus objective can be completed. They include collecting items dropped by combatants, destroying [[Pyramid Spike]]s, capturing a Pyramid zone, or completing the wave within a time limit. If the bonus objective is completed, a Heavy ammo crate will spawn near the ADU.

===Augment Wave===
On every 3rd and 9th wave in a set, an augment wave begins. Demolitionists, Skybombers, their shielded variants, [[Splinter Mine]]s, or an Imprint of Nezarec will be summoned. If a Skybomber is active in the battlefield, it will attack the ADU from a distance; if a Demolitionist is active, it will destroy defenses set up around the ADU; if their shielded variants are active, players must stand in a pool to remove their shield; or if a Splinter Mine is active, players will have a limited time to defuse the mines before it wipes the fireteam. Defeating these enemies will drop 2 ADU batteries instead of 1 ADU battery dropped by Saboteurs and Champions.

===Rift Wave===
On every 6th wave in a set, a portal to the Pyramid Ship will open, allowing players to take the fight to the Witness’s forces. Players must defeat Sparkhoarders to charge a Spark that must be carried. Once a player picks up the Spark, they will have 1 minute to deliver it to a rift at the end of the room while avoiding the Riftwarden and its minions. Igniting the rift will defeat the Riftwarden and open an exit portal, completing the wave.

===Boss Wave===
On every 10th wave in a set, another portal to the Pyramid Ship will open. Players will traverse a platforming section ending in a rally flag and Pyramid switches. The boss wave begins after shooting the Pyramid switches to open a door. While the boss wave is active, players can complete an optional objective that will help them defeat the boss faster. These objectives include igniting a rift, defeating shielded combatants by standing in a pool, or capturing zones that will allow [[Shaxx]] to deploy turrets at the zone's location. Defeating the boss will spawn a reward chest containing [[BRAVE Arsenal]] weapons and Tokens of Bravery that can be redeemed at the [[Hall of Champions]], and spawn an exit portal to begin the next set of waves unless the playlist version was selected, which will complete the activity after Wave 10. Completing Wave 50 will spawn an additional reward chest and complete the activity.

===Heat Wave===
In rare instances after completing a boss wave, a bonus heat wave can be triggered, similar in nature to Ritual Anomalies from the [[Altars of Summoning (activity)|Altars of Summoning]] and the Lightning Round from [[Dares of Eternity]]. Players will acquire a buff called '''Shaxx's Mayhem''', multiple [[Tormentor]]s will appear, and a 1 minute timer begins. The heat wave is over when the timer expires.
