How to Play Knockout 5v5
Knockout is a best-of-three mode with no respawns. Losing one player in the opening trade tilts the whole round, and a poison cloud closes in from the edges to prevent stalling.
Because there are no respawns, long-range snipers and mid-range damage dealers are traditionally dominant. Over-extending and dying first is the single worst play — track enemy super charge and remaining health, and pick fights patiently.
As the poison closes, the team holding the center controls the round. Even after dropping a round, you know the enemy picks and positioning habits now — use that between-round mind game to adjust and punish.
The 5v5 version packs far more firepower into every fight. Area damage and sustain gain even more value than in 3v3, and the winning pattern is stacking a numbers advantage around overlapping respawn timers, then converting it on the objective.
