In-Depth Mode Strategies#

Team Deathmatch#

Strategy	Notes	Execution
Control Spawns	Understand enemy spawn logic — flank around hostile areas	Don’t push deep into the enemy spawn — stay on the edge of the pressure zone
Team Pushes	Move as a full team — don’t spread across the whole map	Form squads of 2-3 — cover each other
Deathmatch Routes	Push along the map edges — reduce the risk of being pinched from multiple directions	Learn each map’s “deathmatch loop” route

Domination#

Objective	Strategy	Notes
A Flag	Usually close to your own spawn — take it fast, then defend or rotate to B	Don’t leave everyone at A — controlling midfield is what matters
B Flag	The midfield objective — the tactical core	B decides the match — commit the most players to it
C Flag	Symmetrical to A — close to the enemy spawn	After taking C, watch for the enemy counterattack from their spawn
Defense Cycle	Check every objective once every 30 seconds	Don’t dig in on one flag — rotate defenses flexibly

Hardpoint#

Strategy	Notes
Set Up Early	Start moving to the next Hardpoint 10 seconds before it rotates
Hill Defense	Use Smoke Grenades and Flashbangs to protect teammates inside the hill
Outer Control	Don’t bunch up inside the hill — control the entrances around it
Time Management	Know how much time is left on each Hardpoint — decide whether to rotate

Ranked Play System#
