Starting

1. Open Play > PVP, pick the team size and the weapon class.
2. Your party must fit the team size (a party of 3 cannot queue 2v2).
3. Press Start. You are matched with players of a similar skill.
4. When a match is found, everyone gets a ready check. Accept it.

Matches are played on KAYAN's battle maps, picked at random without repeating the last ones.

A round

• Buy phase: you are frozen for a few seconds. Press B to pick your weapons.
• Live: fight. 2 = bandage, 3 = armor plate. Hold Caps Lock for the scoreboard.
• The round ends when one team is wiped out.
• Time out: if the clock ends with both teams alive, the team with more players alive wins. If that is equal, the team with more total health + armor wins.

Friendly fire is off. Your teammates have markers above their heads and on the map.

Results

After the match you see your RR change, your stars and your stats.

Leaving a match

DANGER

Leaving a PVP match hurts you and your team.

• Crash or lost connection: you have 5 minutes to come back, and you get priority in the connection queue. The match waits for you.
• Quitting on purpose counts as leaving straight away.
• A leaver loses 1.5× the normal RR.
• Leaving also locks your ranked search: 10 minutes, then 30 minutes, 2 hours, 24 hours. The lock count clears after 7 days without leaving.
• Your teammates lose only half their normal RR if they lose because of you. If they still win short-handed they get +20 %.

Cheater in your match

If a player in the match is banned for cheating, the match ends at once with Cheater detected. The cheater takes a full loss, and the match does not count for anyone else. If you already lost RR to that player earlier this season, it is given back.
