OVERVIEW

Genji's Crusader Getaway is a game mode that is inspired by one of the Winter Wonderland's exclusive game modes, Yeti Hunt, but it plays a different story. It is a 4v1 fight taking place around unique maps where four players (all playing as Reinhardt) must catch Genji before time runs out.

GAMEPLAY

Upon beginning Genji's Crusader Getaway, Genji will spawn in the middle with all 4 Crusaders (Reinhardts). Weapons and all abilities (except for Reinhardt's Charge) won't be in play however. During the chase, mysterious green orbs will spawn around the map every 30 seconds, which Genji must collect to unleash his Dragon spirit and activate his ultimate ability. The Crusader's win if they successfully tackle Genji with their Charge ability, otherwise Genji will win if he successfully stays standing until time runs out.

TIPS AND TRICKS

GENERAL

A 10 second countdown will only begin when Genji is 10 metres away from the closest player from the Crusaders, when will then have the Crusader's camera view aimed at the floor
All players move at same speed at 6 metres per second
There will be a HUD on the top left side of the screen showing the distance between each Crusader and Genji himself
When the timer hits 30 seconds, the Dragon Orbs will disappear when they're still in play
If the Crusader falls off the edge of the map, they will respawn at the closest position of where they died. Whereas it will be an instant loss for Genji if he falls off the map.

PLAYING AS A CRUSADER

Teamwork is especially emphasized in this mode. Though, it is now a lot easier since Genji cannot double jump or climb up walls to evade your Charge, it'll sometimes be difficult to attempt charging into him alone because of the cast time on the Charge and the duration of the stun upon missing, so rely on your team to flank from places Genji would least expect.
Charge is now on a very quick cooldown, but you'll get stunned for a very short period afterwards.
If you know Genji is heading for the Dragon Orb, consider switching to evasive tactics as he cannot be pinned at all until the duration of his ultimate ends - move away from places where Dragon Orbs have spawned, ensuring that you're as far away from Genji when his ultimate activates. This will also waste his ultimate as he would look to damage you with his blade, otherwise continue to chase him down when trying not to lose sight of him else predict where he might go.

PLAYING AS GENJI

Unlike the Crusaders, you won't be able to use any abilties in this mode.
When you're not using Dragonblade, focus on lurking around the map for Dragon Orbs instead of prioritising on the distance between you and the Crusaders as the duration lasts for 15 seconds, making your useful as a time consumer if used correctly and precisely.
Use the Dragonblade to stun the Crusaders who get too close and/or use it to run away from them. This is a very useful technique to get around the map and put distance between you and the Crusaders.
While you won't be able to double jump or climb up walls, you can still mantle onto ledges, making it useful to make it through jumps the Crusaders couldn't make over.
