[Mode Guide]
King of the Hill
LIVEControl a single zone to score. Constant pressure, tight firefights, and aggressive rotations keep matches fast and intense.
How It Works
One contested zone is active at a time. Standing in it scores for your team; the zone may rotate to a new spot, forcing constant repositioning and close, high-pressure fights.
Win Condition
Hold the single active zone to accumulate score. First team to the score limit wins.
What's Unique
One point, all the pressure — a fast, concentrated brawl where holding ground beats spreading out.

Tips
- Clear the zone before you try to hold it.
- Fight from just outside the point, not stacked inside it.
- Rotate early when the hill is about to move.
- Keep a medic near the point to sustain the hold.
