Simply walking over the bag captures it for your team but reveals the bag holder's position in the minimap. There are no respawns but players can revive downed teammates. Each round ends when any of the 2 conditions are fulfilled. First to 5 Round Wins takes the match.

Getting an early pick can be a big advantage since you're limited to 6 players per team and the MCPR-300 is a great weapon for those early duels as any hit above the waist is a one-shot-kill.
Should you choose to run around and get more aggressive, you can swap over to TAQ-56 as it has a solid damage and the recoil is fairly easy to control.

Tips and Strategies for Knock Out
Revive Teammates When Possible
Regardless of which way a round is won, playing the numbers game can make securing the round much easier. Dead teammates can still get back in the fight and reviving them is strongly recommended when possible. If a revive seems unsafe, back off and play the field for a bit.
Group Up With Your Team
Grouping up is always a good idea since you can simply trade your teammates and revive them to secure your man advantage. This is especially important when you or one of your teammates is able to pick up the package. Stay together and fight alongside one another to make sure gunfights go your way.
