| Features | Competitive mode |
Terminal Attack is 5v5, single-life, attack-and-defend gamemode in which contestants take turns delivering a decryption key to a terminal. Attackers are tasked with completing the decryption, while defenders must prevent it by any means necessary.
Revives are disabled in Terminal Attack, leaving contestants with only one life per-round. The Healing Beam and Defibrillator are unavailable, and contestants can only regenerate a limited amount of health depending on their Build. Gadgets do not restock, so contestants should engage with caution and go in with a plan.
Gameplay
- Each round, two terminals spawn at random locations.
- Attackers are given a decryption key they can carry and throw.
- To start a decryption, an attacker holding the decryption key must interact with a terminal for 7 seconds.
- To stop a decryption, a defender must interact with the terminal that's being decrypted for 7 seconds.
- Decryption takes 1 minute to complete.
- The round ends once a decryption is completed or stopped.
- Teams switch between playing the role of attackers and defenders.
- At the start of each round, both teams are given 20 seconds to prepare. The defenders can reach both terminals during this time.
- Contestants can swap items to and from reserve in-between rounds.
- Contestants cannot respawn during rounds.
- Contestants can only heal limited health during rounds depending on their Build.
- Heavy Build: 150 health.
- Medium Build: 125 health.
- Light Build: 100 health.
- Gadgets do not restock during rounds.
- The Healing Beam and Defibrillator are unavailable.
- Arena destruction persists until teams switch roles between attackers and defenders, at which point it resets.
