Flag Hiding Guide

Flag placement mechanics:

• Base placement time: 60 seconds
• Each captured point adds +10 seconds
• Each neutral point adds +5 seconds
• Placement pauses and resets after 5 seconds of carrier inactivity
• The flag must remain partially visible

The game uses an escalating ping system to prevent stalemates:

• Ping duration: 1.5 seconds
• Start delay: 2.5 seconds after Hunt Phase begins
• Initial ping interval: 5 seconds
• Warning area ping: 2 seconds
• After 60 seconds, pinging escalates to 1-second intervals

This means flags become progressively easier to find. Hide in spots that are hard to reach even when detected.

Radar towers reveal flag cells every 18 seconds. With 3 towers, the enemy eliminates 3 cells every 18 seconds. Counter-strategies:

• Contest Tower B to slow enemy intel gathering
• Hide flags in areas that are hard to reach even when the cell is revealed
• Hide near your team's defensive positions for rapid response when the cell is scanned
• Use Scout's Falcon Eye (8000-10000 height) to counter-scout before the flag area is revealed
