Overview

The November update introduced major changes to powerups, requiring heavy melee to claim and scaling from 10 to 40 minutes. Understanding these mechanics is crucial for map control.

Powerup Timing and Scaling

Powerups now scale in strength over time, starting weaker at 10 minutes and reaching peak strength at 40 minutes. Understanding the scaling is crucial for decision-making.

Tips

  • Gun Powerup scales from +10% Fire Rate to +30%
  • Survival Powerup scales from +250 HP to +700 HP
  • Movement Powerup scales from +1 Stamina to +4 Stamina

Securing Powerups

With the new heavy melee requirement, securing powerups requires more commitment and creates opportunities for counterplay.

Warnings

  • Don't start heavy melee without vision control
  • Be aware that enemies can hear the heavy melee windup
  • Position team defensively while claiming powerups

Conclusion

The new powerup system rewards strategic timing and team coordination more than ever before.
