Knockout 5v5
5v5

Knockout 5v5

Eliminate all five enemies; two round wins takes the match.

Rules

  • Still no respawns in a round, but with five bodies a single pick is survivable.
  • The maps are large enough that two separate fights can run at the same time.
  • The closing ring matters more here because ten players get funnelled into one space.
  • Focus fire decides rounds: five brawlers shooting one target ends it instantly.

Team archetypes

Frontline pairTwo tanks who absorb the opening exchange so the backline gets free damage.
Backline coreTwo long-range brawlers who never break formation and punish over-extension.
Flex flankOne fast brawler who threatens the far side and drags defenders off the main fight.

Playing it well

  • Move as a five and win one fight; splitting into two threes loses both.
  • Call one target and delete it — a 5v4 in this mode snowballs faster than in 3v3.
  • Keep the flank honest with one body, not two; a 4v5 on the main fight is already lost.
  • When the ring closes, hold the side with cover and make them cross open ground into ten guns.
