NEW MODE: KNOCKOUT

Introducing the all-new 60-player, 20-squad, Battle Royale experience: Knockout! In this intense, objective-based competition, squads must capture zones and collect EVO to rack up points. The 5 lowest-scoring squads are eliminated after each round, so every point counts. Enjoy infinite respawns until the high-stakes Sudden Death finale. After 3 rounds, the final 5 squads are redeployed for an all-out battle where only one squad will emerge victorious. Will your squad be the last one standing?
