Walkthrough
- 1The bomb spawns at a yellow marker with a navigational indicator at the start of the match.
- 2Teams converge to control the bomb.
- 3Once picked up, the carrier is permanently lit on the map with a slight delay on their trail.
- 4The objective is to plant the bomb at the enemy's target or defend your own target from an enemy plant.
- 5Planting or disarming the bomb takes a few seconds.
- 6After a plant or disarm, the game voice announces it, and a 30-second timer begins for defense or disarming.
- 7Spawn delay lasts approximately 7 seconds after death.
- 8Matches can end by successful plant (30 seconds), elimination of the enemy team in overtime (after 20 minutes), or host ragequit.
Strategies:
- Organized Team Play: Stay back initially to defend the bomb. The bomb carrier should use ExCon (Explosive Concussion) and have 2-3 teammates ahead to clear enemies and 1-2 behind for flank protection. Push up after kills, plant quickly, and defend. If forward players die, the rear players move up, and fallen players rush to cover the carrier's back.
- Solo Play: Do not touch the bomb. Focus on killing enemies attempting to get it. Obtain a helicopter, grab the bomb, and rush to the target under heli cover, using the heli to eliminate threats.
- General Tip: Instead of defending the objective, treat the bomb as the item that must be defended and controlled.
- Advanced Planting (Solo/Laggy Games): Use a lateral movement strategy to draw enemies to one side of the map. Teammates should advance towards the enemy plant zone, mirroring the bomb carrier's general direction. Once at the edge or far enough, let the ExCon recharge, ensure the kill marker is visible, then run back laterally to find a teammate to cut behind. This creates a surprise block against potential tacklers. This aims to lead enemies into deaths or create a screen for the plant.
