Who is it Recommended For?

Since it's a 5v5 mode, good teamwork is the key to victory. Fight together with friends you usually play with! This mode is especially recommended for players belonging to clans or teams.

Various Maps Are Used

Maps such as "Battlefield," "Stormy Peninsula," and "Wild Oasis" are used. Since you fight within a limited duel area, you won't use the entire map area.

Held in a 5v5, Best-of-three Format

In this mode, there is no waiting area or parachute drop. After 5v5 matchmaking is complete, the game starts from the "Preparation Area."

Purchase Supplies at the "Vending Machine"

Purchase

First, purchase your preferred firearms from the "Knives Out Vending Machine" in the preparation area. Only firearms must be purchased. Other recovery items and throwables are optional.

Coins Are Supplied Each Turn

You use "Coins" to purchase supplies. They are automatically supplied each turn of the match in the following amounts.

1st Turn+800 Coins
2nd Turn+1000 Coins
3rd Turn+1000 Coins

Battle Once Preparation Ends

Duel Area

When the preparation time ends, the duel area begins to shrink. You will take poison gas damage if you are outside the area, so move towards the safe zone.

Dashing Is Faster When Unarmed

Unarmed

You can run faster when unarmed than when holding a weapon. Move quickly and aim for an advantageous position. By the way, drinking a sports drink allows you to run even faster, but it's not usually necessary.

Defeat All Enemy Team Members to Win

You win by defeating all 5 members of the enemy team. Of course, there's also a downed state, so if you don't finish them off, they might be revived. Conversely, if you can exploit an opening while they are reviving, it's a chance for consecutive kills.

The First Team to Win 2 Rounds Wins

Victory

Team Deathmatch is a best-of-three match where the first to 2 wins. If it's 1-1, the winner is decided in the 3rd match. This means even if you lose the first match, you still have a chance in the 2nd and 3rd matches.

Cheer Even When Down

If you are killed, you can leave the game. However, your team will be at a disadvantage as their numbers will decrease from the 2nd turn onwards. If possible, cheer for your surviving teammates until the turn ends.

Team Deathmatch Tips

Choose Firearms Based on the Duel Area

Knives Out Team Deathmatch Near West Pier No buildings!

If the duel area is a wheat field, it will be a battle on an open plain with no buildings. It will be difficult for both sides to approach each other easily. This means sniper rifles, capable of long-range attacks, will be advantageous. It's recommended to choose your firearms based on the duel area.

Utilize Smoke Grenades

Smoke Grenade

Smoke grenades, purchasable for 75 coins each, are very useful. They can obstruct the enemy's vision or be used for cover when reviving teammates. However, you can only purchase one per battle.

Be Cautious When Taking Supply Drops

Supply Drop

After the battle has been going on for a while, supply drops will appear. You can get powerful weapons and items but there's a high chance of being shot by enemies, so be cautious when taking them.

You Lose Your Firearms if Killed

If you are killed in the first turn, you must purchase firearms again in the second turn. Only surviving players carry over their supplies which is advantageous.
