At the moment we have two maps one the game, and both follow some basic rules that we will explain here. The maps are divided in sectors:

• Sector 1 - Where the players start the match;
  
• Sector 2 - Location with a healing orb (solo and duo), respawn points (duo) and the bases (squads);
  
• Sector 3 - Location with three healing orbs (solo and duo);
  
• Sector 4 - Where the duos can dig the treasure.

There are also underground passages, that will teleport you to the other side of the map.

On solo mode, we have 4 rounds.
The first two rounds follow the same following rules:

• The sector 1 starts dealing damage after 30 seconds;
  
• The sector 2 starts dealing damage after 1 minute;
  
• The sector 3 starts dealing damage after 1 and a half minute;
  
• Each kill you get increases your stats by 10% (bonus limited to 3 stacks per round, 9 total);
  
• The first 3 players killed returns to lobby;

On the third round, instead the first 3 players killed returns to lobby, it's the two players with more kills on the match, that are still on the game that goes to the final round. The one that wins the 1 x 1, wins the match.


For duos, we have a dig site on the center of the map, and two rounds. The rules are these:

• One player (or duo) must be without enemies on the dig site to earn points;
  
• One second counts as a point (only full seconds score);
  
• The first round ends if the general progress reach 30 points or 6 minutes elapsed;
  
• If one player die, the partner must respawn him on any respawn point (center of Sector 2);
  
• If both players die, they will respawn after 5 seconds;

After the end of the first round, the duo with most points and the duo with most kills will have a final fight on the second and last round. Simple fight, the last one alive wins.


The squad mode its nothing more than a 4 x 4 x 4 where you have your base, and the last base wins. Still, there are rules:

• Bases have 4000 HP;
  
• Killed players respawn after 5 minutes;
  
• The ally base heals 10 HP per second and also gives you extra speed;
  
• The fist players to lose the base can choose another base to deal damage (200 damage each).

This mode has only one round.
