XDefiant:Domination

Overview

Domination is an Arena map-type game mode where you get to take and hold three capture zones to earn more points than the opponent team. This is one of the five game modes that were released at launch in XDefiant.

There are three capture zones in Domination for either team to capture. At the start of the match, all three zones are neutral. Any team, or its lone member, entering the zone will start the capturing process.

A team that reaches the 750 score limit first by capturing the zones will win the match. There is also a 10-minute time, so the team with the highest points at the end of time will also win.

There is a chance the match could draw if both teams reach 750 points at the same time. However, the chances of this happening are always slim.

A, B, and C are the names of the capture zones while playing the Domination game mode. Capturing each zone will generate one point for the team. The speed gain speeds up when a team captures and hold all three zones.

Capturing a zone requires it to be neutralized, which takes about five seconds. Another five seconds will pass in capturing a neutralized zone. However, the process speeds up if there are more teammates inside a particular zone.

A zone capture process can be halted by contesting it with equal presence of either team. For example, if there are 2 allies in a capture zone, and 2 enemy players jump into the same zone, the capture process will be contested.

While capturing a zone if allies die the progress stops. If the enemy team steps into the capture zone, they can resume the capture process in their favor.

Neutralized zones do not generate points for either team. A zone captured by a friendly team is blue, while an enemy-captured zone is red. Neutral zones are white, and contested zones are yellow.
