Gun Game Overview
| No. of Players | 6 Players (Free-for-All) |
|---|---|
| Objectives | Be the first to achieve a Throwing Knife Kill to win the match. |
Gun Game is a free-for-all game mode where players will have to progress through an 18-weapon rotation pool by successfully getting kills with ranged weapons and be the first to get a throwing knife kill on the last rotation to win the match.
Each Ranged Elimination advances a player through the rotation and awards them with a different weapon to use. Melee Kills on opponents will downgrade them one step back in the rotation.
With each weapon gained, the match can either be favourable or at a disadvantage to you as the guns in the weapon rotation are random and could either be useful or useless depending on what current guns your opponents are using in the game.

Tips & Strategies for Gun Game
Melee Upclose to Demote Your Enemies
Use the opportunity to knife your opponents at close-quarters to bring them one step back in their weapon rotation to slow down their progress in getting to the last weapon rotation - giving you a chance to win the race to being the first player to get a throwing knife in Gun Game!
Use the Throwing Knife on Unaware Opponents
On the 18th weapon rotation you'll be equipped with a combat knife and a throwing knife as your utility, leaving you vulnerable against players with guns as they can simply shoot you as you approach them.
The key to getting a successful throwing knife win is to throw them at unaware opponents. Wait for your foes to engage with another enemy player so you'll get a clear opportunity to use the throwing knife without worrying about getting gunned down from a distance.
