When deployed, players’ objective dictated to “Destroy Armored Train” and were given a minute to set up and prepare for it. Players had RPGs, ARs, Snipers, and whatever else they needed to do damage to this train.

Once the train arrived it was time for players to unload damage to different sections of the train. This required the lobby to do 135,000 damage as a team and took around 10 minutes. Once that happened chaos ensued.
