Conquest

Originally designed as an adaptation of Destiny 2's Control and Iron Banner gamemodes for Overwatch, Conquest is a fast-paced arcade-style team deathmatch. Team fight to control 3 zones, which grant more points per kill. Should a team cap all 3 points, a Power Play will ensue, locking down all the zones and freeing the advantaged team to chase down kills. Supports teams of any size, so grab your friends and game on!

Gameplay Overview

Two teams fight to control 3 zones and earn kills. Fully capturing a zone yields 1 point, and kills have a base value of 1 point. However, the more zones a team controls, the more valuable each kill is. Should a team capture all 3 zones, a Power Play will trigger. During a Power Play, all zones are locked, freeing the advantaged team to chase down kills. First team to reach 100 points wins!

Customization

Game Settings:

Option	Description	Default
Score To Win	The number of points a team must accrue during regulation time to win the game. IMPORTANT: This does not automatically update the in-game scoreboard. In order for the scoreboard to display properly, the host must change "Settings > Modes > Score to Win" to match this value.	100
Overtime Enabled	Whether a game will enter overtime if regulation time ends and teams are tied. If not enabled, a tied score at the end of regulation time results in a draw.	True
Minimum Respawn Time	The minimum amount of time a player will remain dead, in seconds.	8
Maximum Respawn Time	The maximum amount of time a player can remain dead, in seconds.	16
Respawn Locations	How respawn locations are determined. See Respawns for a description of each option.	Dynamic
Respawn Timings	How respawn timers are determined. See Respawns for a description of each option.	Waves
Requires Power Play For Early End	Whether a team needs to earn a Power Play to earn the last point to end regulation time early.	True

Capture Rate Settings:

% per second = captureRatePerPlayer * min(# capturing players, maxCapPlayersPerZone) + baseCaptureRate

Option	Description	Default
Adaptive Capture Rate	Whether capture rate scales with team size. Internally, this is done by multiplying the result of the min calculation by 6 then dividing by the number of players actually on the team.	True
Base Capture Rate	The base capture rate of a zone, which does not vary based on the number of players	4%/s
Capture Rate Per Player	The amount of capture progress per second contributed by each capturing player.	2%/player/s
Maximum Capturing Players Per Zone	The maximum number of capturing players who will contribute capture progress.	6 players

Power Play:

Option	Description	Default
Enabled	Whether all 3 zones being under the control of one team will trigger a Power Play.	True
Duration	How long a Power Play should last for at most in seconds.	30 seconds
Player Markers	Whether the targeted team of a Power Play will have markers above their heads during the Power Play.	True
Reset Ults When Power Play Ends	Whether the end of the power play will cause all players to lose any ult charge they currently have.	True

Technical Details

Respawns:

• Respawn locations can be customized in the Workshop Settings. The options for respawn location behavior are as follows:
  • Random: Use the in-built respawn location logic, which attempts to place players closer to their teammates and further from enemies.
  • Static: Team 1 will spawn near Zone A and Team 2 near Zone C at the start of the game. After a Power Play, the teams will swap sides, with Team 1 spawning near Zone C and Team 2 spawning near Zone A.
  • Dynamic: Same as Static, but if a Zone is more favorable than a team's current spawn, their spawn will shift to that Zone.
• Respawn timings can be customized in the Workshop Settings, but the Minimum Respawn Time and Maximum Respawn Time hold different meanings depending on the mode selected.
  • Static: Minimum Respawn Time is the time, in seconds, before a player is allowed to respawn. The Maximum Respawn Time is the time, in seconds, before a player will respawn with no input.
  • Waves: Once a player on a team dies, an internal timer shared among all players on that team starts ticking from Maximum Respawn Time down to 0. Players who die before the timer reaches 0 will have their respawn time set to match the internal timer or the Minimum Respawn Timer, whichever is greater. Once the internal team timer hits 0, it will wait until a player from that team dies again to restart the timer from Maximum Respawn Time.
• Players will have 10 seconds from when they can first respawn until they will be forced to respawn. This is to ensure that players will have enough time to change heroes if needed.

Zones:

• See Customization | Capture Rate Settings for capture rate formula.
  • A capturing player is a player from a team who is alive, not utilizing certain hero abilties (see below), and within the capture region of the zone.
• The following hero abilities will render an otherwise eligible player unable to capture or contest a point for their duration:
  • Sombra's Stealth
  • Mei's Cryofreeze
  • Doomfist's Meteor Strike
  • Reaper's Wraith Form
  • Moira's Fade
• When both teams enter a zone, the zone is contested, and capture progress (if there is any) is immediately frozen.
• If a situation arises where a zone is under a team's control, but the other team has accrued capture progress before the currently controlling team remain alone on the zone for 1 second, capture progress is immediately reset.
• A zone which has capture progress and which has not been contested or progressed for 3 seconds will have its capture progress decay at a rate of 25% per second until it reaches 0.
• A team which attempts to capure a neutral zone with capture progress from the other team must remain in the zone uncontested for 1 second before the zone will reset capture progress and begin counting progress towards their team instead.
• The capture region of a zone is a cylinder which extends for a meter below the designated zone location and up to the designated zone height. For capturing purposes, a zone considers a player's foot position, not their camera position.

Scoring/Zone Control:

• Capturing a zone rewards one point
• The number of zones a team controls is equal to the number of points they will earn for each kill, however, a kill may not be worth less than 1 point.
  • Example 1: Team 1 controls 0 zones and Team 2 controls 1 zone. Both teams will earn 1 point per kill.
  • Example 2: Team 2 controls 2 zones, meaning they will earn 2 points per kill.
  • Example 3: Team 1 gains control of all 3 zones. Team 1 will earn 3 points per kill.

Power Play:

• A Power Play cannot last for longer than the remaining amount of regulation time remaining. This limitation does not affect Overtime.
• The shortest respawn time possible is forced during Power Play. This is to prevent players from "hiding" in respawn.
  • Note that dynamic spawns timer is not affected by Power Play, so the time until respawn during Power Play will not necessarily match Minimum Respawn Time.
• Targeted players will have an icon placed above their heads for the duration of the Power Play, and will also have the Burning status effect applied to them.
