New World Invasions: how to take part

Because Invasions are intended for experienced players, you need to be at leastLevel 50before you can participate in them.

What happens in a New World Invasion?

Invasions are PvE battles, which see players face off against NPC Corrupted enemies, one of the major supernatural threats you face in Aeternum. If your character is selected to participate, you’ll be teleported to the beseiged Fort when the Invasion is due to start.

Once the Invasion begins, an on-screen tracker will let you know your current objective. Invasions are time-limited and wave-based, so you’ll also see information about how long is left and which wave of enemies you’re currently on. Each Invasion is made up of eight waves, and players are tasked with preventing them from breaching the Fort’s Gates and destroying the Fort Claim before the timer runs out.
