How to win
The team with the most points at the end of the event wins. Exact values are shown in game.
- Capture flags: the enemy regions, neutral Rīga and the islands.
- Hold zones: every flag you hold pays points in the day hours. Rīga pays the most.
- Bank enemy dog tags on Bank Island.
- Raid enemy main bases by destroying their main tool cupboard (Sunday 16:00-00:00).
- Loot crates first, kill the bounty and finish team contracts together.
Teams
- Four teams, one per region: Kurzeme, Zemgale, Vidzeme and Latgale.
- Each team is led by Latvian streamers. The rest of the team is other streamers and viewers.
- You apply once. The organisers and captains split the players evenly over the four teams.
- You're locked into your team for the whole event.
The map
A custom map of Latvia: the real coast, the Gulf of Rīga and the Daugava, Gauja, Venta and Lielupe rivers.
- Every region is one zone with a flag at its home town: Kuldīga, Jēkabpils, Cēsis and Rēzekne, each with a flat base circle for the team's main bases.
- Rīga is neutral: nobody starts with it, and it's the most valuable flag on the map.
- Monument islands around the coast: Launch Site, Airfield, Power Plant and Dome, plus Farm Island and Bank Island in the Gulf of Rīga.
- The Outpost (merged with Bandit Camp) on its own island. It's a safe zone.
- Both oil rigs, and a fishing village, gas station and supermarket in every region.
