What is Capture the Flag in XDefiant?
The main rules of this game mode are pretty straightforward. Players are divided into two teams: 6v6. There is a team’s flag indicated by a blue circle right next to the spawn zone. And there is the opponents’ flag that’s highlighted with a red circle.
The goal is to capture the opponents’ flag and bring it to your base. A team gets a point only if their own flag is present on the base.
A team with four points in the total score wins the Capture the Flag XDefiant match. If the timer runs out, a team with more points wins.
The basic gameplay is nicely shown in the official trailer.
