EVENT GAME MODE

WARPAINT RUSH

rushimage.jpg

Warpaint Rush puts a new spin on the classic Defuse game mode.

The round begins with a bomb randomly planted on one of the bombsites. Coalition has to guess where the bomb has been planted and rush to defuse it.

Additionally, The Breach will carry an additional bomb they can plant on any bombsite. If either of the bombs explodes, The Breach wins.

Simply defusing the bomb(s) does not result in a round win for Coalition. As Coalition, the objective is to defuse, eliminate and not allow The Breach to plant more bombs.

If the round ends before other win conditions are met Coalition takes the round win.

This mode will test the strategic decision-making and the ability of both teams to adapt to quickly changing situations.

Developer’s comments

We wanted to bring a new defuse-based game mode idea into Critical Ops to celebrate the faction war theme with this year’s warpaint event.

For us this event represents a chance to explore the fight between Coalition and The Breach. With Warpaint Rush we hope to mix things up a little to potentially evolve defuse gameplay in the future.

In this game mode the economy works just like in regular defuse but it adds some high stakes and fast action in the form of a preemptively planted bomb that forces Coalition to take a more active role at the beginning of each round and allows for new tactics for both sides.

We can’t wait to see how big of a rush you will experience when playing Warpaint Rush.

In this game mode every second and decision counts!

Now available in the patch 1.24.0.
