Augment Wave

Overview

An Augment Wave is a wave type in Onslaught that adds a mandatory mini-encounter. Augments are described as landing on the 3rd and 9th waves of each set, though some guides say they can appear at random. If the fireteam fails an augment, the team dies.

Augment enemies

An augment summons one of several enemy types: Demolitionists, Skybombers, their shielded variants, Splinter Mines, or an Imprint of Nezarec. Skybombers attack the ADU from range, Demolitionists destroy defenses around the ADU, shielded variants lose their shields in a pool, and Splinter Mines must be defused within a time limit.

ADU batteries

Augment enemies drop 2 ADU batteries, compared with 1 from Saboteurs and Champions. Batteries are thrown at the ADU to restore its health, or at damaged defenses to repair them.
