How it plays
Squads of three pick light, medium or heavy builds and fight other teams over vaults of cash, so a group that splits roles and talks wins more often.
Nearly every building can be destroyed, which opens new routes and plenty of chaotic moments.
Matches are short and the game is free, but the pace and aiming are demanding for newcomers.
Private matches let a larger group play against each other.
