Most new players think of this game as a Robot Combat game, which it is. But what they fail to understand is that at its heart it is a territory control game too. Beacons are not something added to the game to give bored players bonus points. They are the central objective. The team which controls the Beacons wins the game!

Beacons
A beacon is a location on a map that can be captured by either team.

Each map has five beacons, marked by beams of light coming from a small structure on the ground. At the start of a match all five beacwons are unclaimed and show a white light. When a beacon is captured by allies it changes color to blue, and when captured by an opponent changes to red. A captured beacon will remain captured until the end of the game unless it is captured by the opposing team. Beacons can be captured and recaptured multiple times during a match.

On the HUD, just below the countdown timer are 5 letters A B C D E representing the 5 beacons. These show which team, if any, controls each beacon by the colour of the circular background. In the example shown, the enemy team (red) control beacons A and B, while the player’s team (blue) control beacons C, D and E.
