[2-5] Better network play

Enhance your Quake Champions experience by mastering network play. Learn about game modes, character abilities, and strategies to dominate the arena and improve your competitive edge.

Quake Champions is a competitive arena-style, character-based shooter that emphasizes player skill. While core gameplay mechanics are inspired by classic Quake titles, the introduction of unique Champion abilities adds a strategic layer, particularly in team-based modes.

Gameplay Mechanics:

• Champions possess passive and active abilities, with active abilities having a cooldown of 30-45 seconds, adjustable by in-game items.
• Abilities follow a rock-paper-scissors system, encouraging players to discover effective champion synergies.
• Player skill remains the primary determinant of victory, with abilities serving to enhance strategic depth.
• Loadouts are not featured; all players start with a Gauntlet and a chosen starting weapon, with other weapons found on the map.

Game Modes:

• Quickplay: Free-for-all, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Slipgate, TDM vs Bots.
• Arcade: Instagib (Team and FFA), Unholy Trinity (Team and FFA), Sacrifice, Hot Rockets, Mystery Champion, Swinger Party, Lead the Way.
• Ranked: Duel, 2v2 Team Deathmatch.
• Custom games are available for those who own the Champions Pack.

Network Play Emphasis:

• The game's design, with its emphasis on abilities, lends itself more to team-based modes than traditional free-for-all or duel formats found in Quake III Arena.
• The game was designed with esports in mind, aiming for a significant presence at QuakeCon.
