How to win: Fortress Fall

Shoot out the three glowing anchors under the enemy fortress. Once they are gone, the whole fortress breaks away and plunges into the void. That is the core objective, which the game calls Fortress Fall.

Destruction, block rain and special blocks

From the official page:

• Blast holes through cover. Every block is destructible, so the map changes every match.
• Chain TNT along a bridge for chain reactions.
• Cut the stilts under an island to send everyone on it falling.
• Block rain: blocks fall from the sky during the match. Dodge them, or use them to crush the enemy.
• Ice, bounce pads, glass and TNT all play differently.

There are 12 weapons to unlock, including rifles, SMGs, shotguns and snipers.

Tips

• Play the objective. Kills don’t drop a fortress; the three anchors do.
• Attack the ground, not just players. Cutting stilts or bridges can remove several enemies at once.
• Guard your own anchors and the paths to them.
• Watch the sky for block rain, and use Shift to get clear.
• Keep a melee or quick weapon on 3 and swap with Q in close fights.
