Translation:

Escalation

Kill opponents and race with them using a series of different weapons and abilities to advance with your teammates through 12 Escalation levels. A win in an Escalation goes to the team that finishes the 12 levels first or the team that goes further in the levels within 10 minutes.

Although this is a team mode of play, you must do your own part to complete each level.

In addition to helping your team gain the points necessary to complete each level, you must also achieve at least one kill using each weapon / ability to advance on a personal level, even if your team has already reached a higher level in Escalation.

Rules:

• 5v5 gameplay
• 12 Escalation Levels (each level has a specific weapon or ability)
• The win goes to the team that finishes the 12 levels, or who reaches the highest level in 10 minutes.
• The team as a whole must earn 7 points in each level to move to the next level
• Killing in the current level earns 1 point
• Killing in a previous level earns 0.5 points
• Each player has an individual weapon level that they work to complete
• You will have to achieve at least 1 kill using each weapon to unlock the next weapon level
• Your squad will still be able to advance on escalation levels even if you are within an older weapon level

Example: Your team can be at Level 4, with the possibility of you remaining being "stuck" at Weapon Level 1 (let's say it's a Vandal), until you achieve 1 kill with that weapon. You will then advance to Weapon Level 2, not directly to Level 4.

​

• Matches are 7-9 minutes long
• Agent abilities that are based on your agent cannot be used. Rather, only basic abilities can be used by all players during the match (see Gear section below).
• Fast reboots (with immunity to damage in the first 5 seconds)

​

Escalation gear:

Level 1: Always either the Raze's Rocket Launcher or Vandal / Phantom Weapon

Level 2: Always either Vandal or Phantom.

Levels 3-11: a variety of weapons and abilities.

Level 12: possibly shorty, classic, knife, shock dart ... or even a snowball thrower

​

Health: A health bag is dropped upon death, and it will expire in 10 seconds

​

Gain experience Escalation points

Play the game, and you'll get 800 experience points for completing each match, plus 200 experience points when you win.

​

How long will Escalation game mode be available?

This gameplay is currently in the LTM (Limited Time Mode) category. We always improve our offerings of play styles according to the nature of the players' interaction with them. But in the meantime, indulge yourself in playing this mode so you don't miss the chance.
