Description:
This game mode feels like a mixture of flag push and king of the hill. In the game, players are attempting to transport as many balls as possible to the center of the field. The twist is that a player who is carrying a ball is unable to use their gear while transporting it and must rely on their teammates to protect them. Players must also consider that if they fail, the ball they were carrying is no longer in play and their team has lost the ability to score that point(s).
Quick Reference Rules:
Infinite lives. 15 second respawn.
When transporting balls players cannot use blasters, shields, throwables or melee.
Each player can only transport one ball at a time.
Players who are tagged while transporting a ball must drop it and go respawn.
Game ends when the timer goes off.
Detailed Rules
Can you use balls after they have been dropped on the ground?
No. Those balls are now out of play.
Can I drop a ball without being tagged?
Yes. If you want to drop the ball so you can use your gear that is allowed, however that ball is now out of play unless of course you drop it in the scoring or starting bucket.
Can you hand a ball between players?
No
Can the starting or scoring buckets be moved?
No
Can you steal enemy balls out of the scoring bucket or their starting bucket?
No
Can the balls be thrown?
No, they must be dropped in the bucket.
