Just an idea to minimise afk players.
What if winning Outpost Rush guaranteed a gear score increase on at least one item. I feel this will create a real incentive to participate in the match and may be a reasonable way to improve your gear score.
So in a normal state where winning should be roughly 50% of the time you want people to waste even more of their time (half in this case) if someone trolls or is just new on their team.
Let’s punish the collective for the actions of the few… wonder where I’ve heard that one before.
