At the same time, the official announced the details of the “Mountain of Champions” mode and the Alpha test on the official PlayStation blog.
[The following content provides the original information for the manufacturer]
Introduction to “Champions Ridge”
Sledgehammer Games proudly introduces the multi-area survival tournament “Champion’s Ridge” mode, which combines tactics and strategy with fast-action close-range shootouts. In this mode, from the compact battle cycle to the middle decision-making, the gameplay is not sloppy at all, and every step will have a profound impact.
In “Mountain of Champions”, your squad-composed of two (2v2) or three (3v3) in the Alpha test-will compete with 7 other teams in a round robin, and each team has its own settings. The starting number of lives. The task of the game is to take the lead in a series of timed battle rounds to reset the life counts of other teams to zero. The team that completes the mission first is even a winner in “Champions Hill”.
In this mode, everyone starts with the same weapons and equipment, but players can collect cash by taking the lives of enemies and picking up dropped items scattered on the map. This cash allows you to upgrade the originally configured weapons and purchase new equipment weapons, equipment, skills, and combos during the “purchase round” between battle rounds.
The “buy round” is the real strategic intervention point (more on this below). No two matches will be exactly the same. The way players use cash in the entire match (for example, waiting for the round to continue to make larger upgrades, or completing small and incremental upgrades while advancing) will greatly change you and The way the squad counterattacked the other squads. This is a strategic competition, and there are great development variables as the battle progresses.
However, anyone knows that no matter how great a strategy is, it depends on the cooperation of execution. At this point, players can be sure that their skills in those “combat rounds” will determine whether you can return home with glory.
Another unique feature of “Champions Ridge” is that it consists of four maps merged into a “Champions Ridge” arena. Specifically, there is a central “buying station area” and four battle arenas: a small airport, a railway field, a market, and an atrium. A great feature of this setting is that once players are eliminated, they can continue to watch the tournament from the audience stage in the “buying station area”. You can also press the up directional button to enter the “watching mode” and take a bird’s eye view of the battle. Or choose an area to watch the battle through your opponent’s eyes. But ideally, it’s not that far. Let’s take a look at some tips that will help you stay firmly in the “hill of champions”.
Become the last surviving team strategy
Know the other
As mentioned above, the “purchase round” is the opportunity for you and the team to use the cash earned to strengthen their weapons and equipment (including weapons, skills, and streaks).
However, the key here is not just to focus on your own firepower, but also to pay attention to the style and weaponry carried by other squads into each combat round. Dealing with powerful enemies may be worth countering against their weapon or skill choices, that is, choosing specific guns that perform better when the opponent is weak, or skills that can restrain their advantages.
A basic understanding of the aggressiveness or vigilance of other teams will greatly help you advance to the next buying round to defeat your opponent.
Diversify your approach
Try several different tactics against the enemy in each match, until you find your most handy doorway.
For example, try to keep following up at the same speed from the beginning in a match. This means that you spend cash in each round of purchases, fully build firepower, and keep pace with other teams. If this trick works and you become one of the last two surviving teams, you will most likely find yourself in a thrilling battle with the opponent’s armed forces, and your team’s combat skills will play a key role.
Or, another feasible way is to keep the cash earned along the way, and upgrade it moderately (with little cost) or skip it directly in each round of purchase. Wait until you finally accumulate enough cash to buy a kill streak (or V2 Rocket) that can wipe out the remaining squad’s lives in one fell swoop, and you don’t have to fight fiercely until the end.
Each tactic has its own benefits and risks. You may need to make several different attempts on these two strategies to see which one is best for you and your team.
Security countermeasures-focus on weapons
If you have difficulty winning in this mode, it is best to focus on upgrading your initial weapons as soon as possible. This is cost-effective on the one hand, and on the other hand it helps to get more winning prizes in the first few matches. When you have plenty of cash late in the game, you might consider replacing your secondary weapon with the long-favored light machine gun or sniper rifle.
