How do towers and Hot Zones work?

A May 2026 developer example links tower capture, codes, and a called Hot Zone inside the wider Control Zone.

Dated pre-release exampleUpdated Aug 27, 2026

Direct answer

Towers can lead teams through a code chain toward a Hot Zone.

The official example shows a team taking a tower, obtaining a code, moving to another tower and code, then calling a Hot Zone. It explains the relationship, but it does not prove that every match always uses exactly two codes or the same sequence.

Inside the larger Control Zone, the moving Hot Zone was described as giving double cash and double contribution to the team's player count for scoring.

Official example

Tower → code → next objective → Hot Zone

  • Capture or interact with a tower objective.
  • Obtain a code tied to the next step.
  • Advance through the objective chain.
  • Call a Hot Zone that concentrates the fight inside the Control Zone.

Developer example

Watch the tower-to-Hot-Zone example

A May 2026 development example shows a tower-to-code route before calling a Hot Zone. It is not a complete or final ruleset and does not establish a fixed number of codes.

Why it matters

The Hot Zone increases reward and scoring weight

The development material describes double cash and double team-count contribution for players inside the Hot Zone. Exact economy values, duration, activation rules, and final-build behavior remain unconfirmed.
