Rules of Engagement

Welcome to the Gates of Time map! Please carefully review the following Map Rules to ensure a smooth and competitive experience for all participants.

Initial Setup

• All gangs have chosen a Defensive position. This means it will be a race for all gangs to reach their desired location on the map. Plan your strategies accordingly! The map is expected to go live this week, VH will provide an update on that along with last map results.


• During the first day, all passageways will remain open, ensuring no gang is hindered while trying to enter the Defensive or Offensive Quadrants due to square rotations. The Tan squares below represent the squares that are part of the rotation and are for illustration purposes only. Below is the starting positions. HQ are mobile.
  
  
  
  

No Additional Balancing

• There will be no bonuses or balancing for the 1st place gang with Elite Guards.


• No crates will be distributed to any gangs based on last map results.

Surprises and Small Rewards

• Certain surprises will trigger during the map depending on specific actions or events that unfold with the major factor being HQ placement.


• If triggered, some changes within the map in some way may occur. This could be upgraded Objectives or ancillary buildings spawned.

Super Beacons

• The Super Beacons will not be available at the start of the map.


• They will be added at the discretion of the gang that controls the Center Objective on February 1st at 12:00 AM (server time).


• If no gang controls the objective during that hour, the first gang to gain control afterward will have the opportunity to decide if Super Beacons are placed.
