How To Play Gunfight Mode
Gunfight Mode Rules
| Time Match | 40 Seconds per Round |
|---|---|
| How To Win Rounds | Eliminate the other team |
| Score Limit | 6 Round Win |
Two teams of two players compete in a six-round-based match. There are no respawns, and at the start of each round, all players are assigned a randomized Loadout that changes every two rounds.
Gunfight Additional Rules
| Overtime Flag | Spawns for 10 Seconds if time runs out |
|---|---|
| Overtime Win | - Capture the Overtime Flag - Have more health toward the end |
| How To Win Rounds | Eliminate the other team |
Capture the Flag or Keep more Health During Overtime
Overtime Flag spawns if time runs out and both teams are alive. Winning is by capturing the flag or eliminating the enemy team. If neither wins, the team with the most health wins.
Tips To Win Gunfight
Make Full Use Of The Assigned Weapons
Each player is randomly assigned the same Loadout, which changes every two rounds. Use this knowledge to identify the weaknesses of the weapon before the next round.
Keep Your Health As Much As Possible
Each round lasts only 40 seconds, and the team with the most health at the end wins. If you don't feel confident about attacking with the assigned weapon, it's better to take a defensive stance and try to keep your Health as much as possible.
New Team Gunfight Mode 6v6
Releases On January 17 At 9AM PT
| Official Description |
| "Experience Gunfights on a larger scale. In this version, players compete in 6v6 across standard Multiplayer maps. As with traditional Gunfight, all players will receive the same randomized Loadout at the start of each round. This Loadout changes throughout the match. Adapt to what you’re given and wipe out the competition" |
As the name suggests, it has some similarities to the Gunfight Mode. All the players will start with the same randomized Loadout at the start of the round but each team has 6 players instead of 2 from the normal Gunfight mode.
