One of the four maps will be randomly selected and the match will begin. RUSH: Rush is a fast-paced queued 3v3 game mode. Players battle through a series of battle arenas to reach the opponent's castle and win the match.
Battle arenas are randomly selected for each match, so no two matches are the same. Control the tower when you eliminate the enemy team (or time expires) to win the round.
GAMEPLAY: Players can now reload silently (but slowly) by pressing and holding the reload key. Un-scoping a sniper weapon no longer produces a sound. Globally increased visual clarity and improved fidelity of bullet impact decals.
