How does the Capture the Artifact game mode work?
In this game mode the objective is to capture both artifacts and hold them in your base for a certain amount of time. At the start of each round one artifact is located in each teams base. Use the game mode ability (default hotkey Z) to pick up an Artifact and carry it to your base. Use the game mode ability to throw the artifact when you carry it, throwing the artifact directly at a friend will instantly make him the carrier and he does not have to pick it up. Artifacts cannot be thrown over gaps and cliffs. An Artifact thrown at the ground will stay in that location until another player picks it up. When carrying an artifact the player has reduced movement speed and takes more damage but the player also deals more damage. Using mobility abilities such as a Leap, Time Shift or Rocket Jump will cause the artifact carrier to drop the artifact. When a player dies he or she will respawn in the base and the respawn length will increase over time as the round progress. Pick up runes spawned
