Data Heist
Data cores rise out of the mine in the middle of the arena, but a core in your hands counts for nothing. Carry it home, upload it into your team's vault, and keep the other team out of it. Twelve cores banked start the exfiltration: hold your vault until it runs out and the match is yours.
How it plays
- 1Stand in your own vault's ring to upload the cores you carry. Banked cores are safe from a shutdown, but an unguarded vault can be robbed.
- 2Stand in an enemy vault with none of them in it and you pull their cores out into your hands.
- 3Carry five or more and you are traced: bushes no longer hide you.
- 4Twelve banked start a 15-second exfiltration. An enemy in the ring stops the clock, and one core robbed out of it ends it.
Tips
- Bring cores home often.
- An empty enemy vault is an open door.
- Guard your vault while it exfiltrates.

Hold the uplink nodes and fill your sync bar first. One node is always overloaded and counts double.

Bring down their firewalls, then their core. Mine ore together and build to get there.
Quarantine
