A quick guide to get you started on the new game mode in Battle Prime.
Capture & Control is the new game mode in Battle Prime. At first it might slightly resemble the classic Battle Prime mode Control. However, it's heavily inspired by the King of the Hill game mode rules.
Capture & Control will be available with 13.1 client update starting January 30, 2025 (12:00 UTC).
In Capture & Control you need to control zones. There are several specific zone in the arena and each team fights to control them.
Gaining and keeping control of a zone provides your team with victory points. The first team to reach the victory points score limit — wins.
THE BASICS
Once again, Capture & Control is based on everything it has on one capture zone. The team that holds the zone gains the victory points. Your team goal is to earn 100 points.
At first, the zone is neutral.
Whoever reaches it first flips it to their respective side and thus starts to roll in points.
At least one ally should be inside the zone, so the zone provides your team with victory points.
If both teams have their players inside the zone, then it's contested: it means neither will gain points until one side can successfully push out the other side.
THE ZONE
When you've captured a zone, sit tight and defend it with everything you've got.
If you see the zone become contested, that means an enemy's inside — hunt them down to push them out. A coordinated team will always push together, contesting the enemy capture zone as much as possible to prevent them from scoring points.
Pay special attention to timing:
The zone lives for 50 seconds.
You earn 1 victory point per 1 second of the zone control.
When the zone timer hits 10 seconds left, the next capture zone will be marked.
The latest also provides with several tactical opportunities:
For example, if your team holds the zone, ideally it should split — some of your team members should move to the next point, so you can capture it as fast as possible and start earning up the points.
Another case: your team lost the zone — you understand, that your team can't contest the current zone or don't have enough time to reach it — so, you can move to the next zone as the whole team to capture it first and start earning points.
