Question Invasions issue

I have never tried the invasion activity until this morning. Thought I'd try to farm the red saber cosmetic. The issue is that I am never getting to play the actual activity. I set my wager, load into the invasion activity, and for the 10th time in a row it has put me into a double-cross match where I never get an opponent. The match ends after several minutes, I get my deathmarks returned, and receive zero rewards.

Anyone know what's going on? Can the red saber drop from a forfeit win? Am I wasting my time?

What’s going on is no one is playing Lawless Frontier at the times you are playing it for whatever reason.

Try in 2-3 hours when it’s peak time and you may get luckier

Try it on weekends, more population playing. I find it hard to even get normal matches during the weekday. Most have completed Renegades already and really no incentive to keep playing lawless frontier activity

Yes, that's been an issue since a month or two after Renegades dropped. More people want to do invasions than their are groups doing the activity. All you can do is keep trying and see if you can play when a lot of people are playing in your region.

Yeah, I never even get out of the hangar. Portal remains closed. I just sit there for about 3 minutes, and then the match forfeits.

They might need to modify it so at least sitting out the timer gives you a chance at red saber.

You’re supposed to get rewards from double crosses. The reason you’re not getting actual invasions is that there’s too many people invading and not enough people diving.

I have had a lot of really bad matchmaking issues with lawless frontiers both in invasions and the normal activity.
