— In-game Description
Borderlands (Secure) is a 24-V-24-V-24 Frontline battle added in Patch 2.3 where players must capture and hold select regions to gain a specified tactical rating before time runs out.
Victory conditions
In order to win, players must reach a specified tactical rating to win. This can be done in one of three ways:
- Defeating opponents
- Capturing key locations
- defeating monsters.
If none of the three alliances reach the specified tactical rating before time runs out, victory is determined by whichever team has the highest tactical rating.
Key Locations
Players can identify Key Locations by identifying outposts and Allagan ruins with flags in them. At the beginning of the match, all of the flags will be white, indicating they are unclaimed. As players stand next to the flags, a gauge will appear and slowly fill based on the number of players on a team standing within the flag's circle. However, the outpost can not be claimed if there are players from an enemy team standing in the circle as well. Once a team has occupied a location, the flag will change to represent what team holds the area. These areas can be returned to neutral (white) and taken by another team if enemy players stand in the flag's ring uncontested. The more locations a team has, the quicker their tactical rating will increase.

A neutral flag, unclaimed by any team.
Defeating Drones
During the match, players will see a textbox flash across the screen stating "The Heliodrome's matter displacer has been activated!". This will happen after the first minute of the match, then every 4 minutes after all the drones are defeated. Teams are awarded points to their tactical rating based on how much damage they dealt to the Drones. Eventually a large Interceptor Drone will spawn in the center of the arena after the drones are defeated, and players must attack it in order to increase their tactical rating.
Small Interceptor Drones that will spawn in large numbers.
- Large Interceptor Drone.jpg
The Large Interceptor Drone that only spawns once in the match.
Rewards
At the end of the match, players are given PvP EXP, PvE EXP, 
Wolf Marks and Allagan Tomestones based on how their team fared.
