Modes

• Die Hardpoint added to Featured Playlists. Capture Hardpoints to gain points for your team. Eliminate multiple enemies in the same life to earn up to five powerful buffs throughout the match. Capturing a Hardpoint grants a movement speed boost and sets your timer to 30 seconds. When the timer reaches zero, you explode. Extend the timer by earning eliminations and capturing Hardpoints. The timer is paused while on your team's Hardpoint, and kills add 15 seconds to your timer up to a max of 30 seconds. Successive kills grant up to four additional buffs: improved weapon handling, ADS speed, slide speed, and a larger explosion upon death (granted after a five-kill streak.) The first team to reach 200 points, or the most points before time expires, wins.
• Multi-Team Elimination - New last-team-standing mode added to Multi-Team. Ten teams of four fight to survive expanding radiation zones. Redeploys are limited and loadouts are restricted. Teams must scavenge for weapons, Scorestreaks, Armor, and other items. The last team standing, or the first squad to board the exfil chopper in the final safe zone, wins.
• 12v12 Moshpit - Standoff, The Pines, and Moscow added to map rotation.
