New Game Mode- Push

Push is a brand new game mode obtainable on two brand-new maps: Toronto and Rome. Gameplay unfolds with two opposing groups preventing over management of a single shared goal, the Treadweather TS-1 Large Utility Robot, that begins in the course of the map.

Each staff fights to take management of TS-1 as they’d a payload: by having teammates situated subsequent to TS-1 with no enemies close by. When a staff takes management of TS-1, it slowly pushes their staff’s barricade in the direction of the opposing staff’s begin location alongside the predetermined path. If TS-1 and the barricade attain the aim on the finish of the trail, then the staff controlling TS-1 wins the game.

When the opposing staff takes management of TS-1, it leaves the primary staff’s barricade in place and reverses its path. TS-1 then rapidly strikes again alongside the trail till it reaches the opposing staff’s barricade, which then pushes in the direction of the primary staff’s spawn.

Midway between TS-1’s beginning location and every staff’s finish aim, there’s a ahead checkpoint goal alongside the trail. When TS-1 pushes a staff’s barricade to their ahead checkpoint, that staff prompts a more in-depth respawn location. This respawn location deactivates if the opposite staff retakes management of TS-1, then strikes TS-1 to some extent on the trail earlier than the ahead checkpoint.

Players have 8 minutes to push their staff’s barricade to the tip aim and win. If neither staff’s barricade reaches its finish aim after 8 minutes, then the staff who pushed their barricade the farthest distance AND has management of TS-1 wins. The game enters extra time if management of TS-1 is contested, or the staff who at present has management of TS-1 doesn’t have the farthest distance pushed. Overtime ends when the staff with TS-1 loses management of it, or when the staff with management of TS-1 pushes their barricade to a distance exceeding the opposition’s.
