Game mode: Modified Plunder of COD Warzone
Player-facing perspective description
This gameplay system is a game mode system, which is a modified design version of the Plunder mode from Call of Duty: Warzone.
If you’ve played WZ's Plunder mode before, this game mode is quite straightforward to understand. It turns Plunder into a PvPvE experience. The source of cash is no longer pick-ups on the map but comes from killing NPC enemies.
If you're not familiar with WZ's Plunder mode, here’s a brief introduction:
Players from multiple teams compete on a large map. The goal is to collect cash by eliminating NPC enemies and loot cash drops, and then players can turn the cash they have into their team score by calling extraction at extraction points on the map.The team reaches the maximum score or with the highest score when the match time runs out wins. Players from different teams can attack each other, and when a player is fragged, any unextracted cash they carry will drop. Players have unlimited respawns and redeployments.
