Nightfall Mode Guide: Combat in the Dark

Nightfall is a limited-time tactical mode set in the pitch-black Hagental Base facility . Squads run Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, and Domination across an underground site where the power has failed — night-vision goggles, thermal optics, flashlights, and laser attachments become essential tools rather than accessories.

The mode leans hard into class differentiation:

Assault : firepower and Deploy Beacons to anchor pushes

Engineer : explosives to reshape corridors via destructible walls and ceilings

Support : NVG battery recharges keep the squad's vision alive

Recon : stealth and surveillance gadgets dominate sight-lines that flashlights would give away

The destructible environment creates dynamic flanking routes — walls and ceilings collapse open as the round progresses, so the geometry never stays the same.
