Intro

PvP - Player versus Player, all players are always split into 2 teams and engage in combat according to the rules of several game modes in a lot of locations. Matches are created dynamically and could start as 3v3 and grow within 3 minutes to up to 10 vs 10 players. As a reward for participation player will obtain experience and credits, and winning team gets to loot the sectors, where various crafting materials, credits, iridium or premium ship parts could be obtained.

Arena is available from 4 clearance level.

Depending on the rank of your ship, you may not be able to get into certain modes. The settings for available game modes for the ship ranks are changed randomly on irregular intervals, as well as available maps may change on patch-to-patch basis

PvP Arena game modes

Each game mode has a set of conditions and rules, available ship ranks range and can only be played on certain maps.


Domination

Available ranks: 1-17

Goal: Deplete all of the enemy control points. If the game timer runs out, the team having more control points win. The Game starts with both teams having 999 control points. There are only 3 beacons on the map and at the start of the game, all 3 are neutral. The Team that controls fewer beacons will constantly lose control points if the enemy team have control of 3 beacons points will be lost at a much higher rate.

Each beacon will spawn 1 guard drones after being under control for some time, there can only be 4 guard drones orbiting 1 beacon. Enemy team must destroy these drones before beacon can be captured. In order to contribute to a beacon capture, player's ship must be within a 850 m. radius from the beacon.

Killing an enemy will reduce enemy control points by 10 pts.


Team Battle

Available ranks: 1-17


Goal: Deplete the enemy reinforcement points. If timer runs out team that have more reinforcement points win
Games starts with both teams having equal amount of reinforcement points, amount of points depends on how many players in the battle, and can grow if the game grows in size during hot-join 3 minutes period. Every time player dies his team loses 1 point, if player dies in own spawn area, his team loses 3 points. There are various artefact-boosts available around the map, they are available from the game start and will respawn after they were picked up. Each Artefact pickup grants a whole team a certain boost.

  • Red = Damage
  • Blue = Invulnerability
  • Yellow = Speed
  • Green = Hull repairs

Each boost type has its own timer, and can be used together.

Amount of reinforcement points depends on how many players there are in total in the game:

  • 4 players = 20 pts.
  • 8 players = 25 pts.
  • 12 players = 35 pts.
  • 16 players = 40 pts.
  • 20 players = 45 pts.

( Team battle starts at 5:10 video-time )


Beacon Hunt

Available ranks: 4-17

Goal: Deplete all of the enemy control points. If timer runs out team with more control points win The map has three neutral beacons in three different locations of the map. There always is only one beacon active at the same time. An inactive beacons cannot be seen on the radar, they cannot be captured and it does not influence any team's control points. Each team starts with 200 control points.
Beacons are always rotated [A] -> [B] -> [C]
Next beacon will be pinged at 20 and 10 seconds marks prior to activation.
Just like in Domination, after awhile controlled beacon will spawn Guard Drones.
Team that controls a beacon will deplete enemy control points at a rate 1 second = 1 point.
Team that controls a beacon can not respawn until control is lost or new beacon is activated.


Detonation

Available ranks: 4-17

Goal: Destroy all enemy stations. If the timer runs out, winning conditions are:

  • Team that have more stations active - wins
  • If both teams have an equal amount of stations active, the team with more kills will win.

Each team has 3 stations on their side. A minute after battle starts, a neutral EM-bomb is teleported in the middle of the battlefield. Max. amount of bombs on the battlefield: 2. Em-bomb has to be contested and picked up, in order to pick up a bomb player must be continuously in close proximity. Bomb carrier has it's speed greatly reduced, going invisible, invulnerability effects like emergency barrier proc or combat reboot and warps will drop the bomb and it can be picked up by a different player. If bomb carrier is killed, a bomb will drop and can be picked up by another player.
In order to destroy an enemy station, bomb carrier must get into close proximity of the station and plant it by being in range for some time. Capturing and planting a bomb will pop-up a progress bar of the player.
Stations can only be destroyed by planting a bomb.


Four lives

Goal: Capture all enemy beacons or destroy all enemy ships. If the timer runs out, the team that controls more beacons will win, if both teams have the same amount of beacons, team with more kills wins.

Features:

  • Based on “Beacon Capture” mode.
  • The pilot has 3 attempts to relaunch the ship, regardless of the number of ships in the slots.

Each team has 3 beacons on their side at the beginning of the game. Each beacon is protected by 4 guard drones, which have to be destroyed in order to start capturing the beacon, unlike Domination and Beacon Hunt modes, beacons will not respawn Guard Drones.
As long as a beacon has more than 0 points, it can be restored to 100. If a beacon is on 0 points, it cannot be restored anymore and considered as lost.


Brawls

  • Brawls are unusual game modes, changing every day where tasks progress isn't counted.
  • You can take part in brawls for a limited time (GMT): 01:00 - 02:00, 09:00 - 10:00, 15:00 - 16:00, 17:00 - 18:00, 19:00 - 20:00, 21:00 - 22:00.

Beacon capture

Goal: Capture all enemy beacons or destroy all enemy ships. If the timer runs out, the team that controls more beacons will win, if both teams have the same amount of beacons, team with more kills wins

Features: Each team has 3 beacons on their side at the beginning of the game. Each beacon is protected by 4 guard drones, which have to be destroyed in order to start capturing the beacon, unlike Domination and Beacon Hunt modes, beacons will not respawn Guard Drones.

Orion's Belt

The brawl is temporarily unavailable

A lot of time has passed since the opening of sectors in which, as mercenaries believe, there are traces of the Precursors. These are places that Dr. Pavlov himself considered one of the main secrets of ancient civilizations. Despite this, interest in the sectors is still not diminishing. Often everyone, from an ordinary mercenary to an influential factional figure, hopes to gain profit trying to find something valuable here. There are also followers of Pavlov's cause. Enthusiasts from all over the world are trying to find the unknown and expensive in the sectors, fighting for the opportunity to scan every asteroid.

Curse of the Leviathan

Having given huge sums to the Broker, the unknown managed to set up a public contract for sending volunteers allegedly from Jericho “for reconnaissance” to the signatures of the infected. What those who have hired the Broker plan to do is known only to them, but no one can say for sure what awaits the mercenaries in the gloomy catacombs...
