Each team in Incursion has a base made up four mobile field bases defended by destructible walls and turrets which they must protect while destroying the opposing team's. To avoid excessive base camping, each team's base also features three defense towers offering additional benefits (DropShip firing at opposing 'Mechs at their base, whole map radar sweeps and radar jamming) which must be powered by fuel cells generated from three points in the center of the map, each fuel cell powering a single tower for two minutes. Victory in Incursion is awarded to the first team that either destroys all seven enemy base elements or to which team inflicted the most damage to the opposing team's base when the match timer expires.

The mode was removed with the 19 September 2023 patch. Following the game's formal release, Quick Play was divided into separate queues for grouped and ungrouped (solo) players, with the game's matchmaker using a form of ELO to try and ensure players are matched to other players with a similar win/loss ratio to try to create matches of equally ranked players, but declining player numbers forced PGI to combine both into what the fanbase refer to as Soup Queue, a portmanteau of Solo and Group Queues with negative connotations. Previously groups could be formed from any size from two up to twelve, but in the combine queues are limited to four. By default the standard play matchmaker attempts to ensure each side conforms to a weight ratio of 3/3/3/3 (three 'Mechs of the same weight class) though will breach this restriction to avoid excessive wait times, or when players drop in premade groups. Game mode and map selection is by vote with three random choices for each, the group leader's choice representing that of other players in their combined group.
