Arm blasters and grenades, prepare to die a bunch of times: welcome to the mode Hero Hunt !
Principle and purpose
Hero Hunt is a mode for 8 players with a stopwatch 15 minutes if the goal of victory is not achieved. Here one player will start the game as a hero and all other players will be infantry. Only the player as the hero will be able to collect points, you will recover 1 point by killing a player, and the first to reach 50 points will win the game. When a player kills a hero, the roles will be reversed: the hero will become a soldier and the soldier will be a hero.
There will be no choice regarding the hero to play, it will be assigned to you automatically. In addition, a part can just as well be "Empire against Hero" as "Rebels against Villain".
Another specificity of this mode, as in Heroic Confrontation, you will have an additional super bonus which will allow you to heal yourself if you play as a hero. It will be red if you are not the hero since it will be unusable for you.
Regarding the mode itself, that's about all there is to know about how it works. Note, however, that the heroes are still powerful so that you will die very quickly if you find yourself in front of him, but if you manage to take a little life from him, you will not have died in vain (it's so beautiful) ! Also as in all other modes, le heroes will be constantly on your map with direction indicators.
To finish on a few tips : Grenades are certainly the best means of inflicting significant damage to heroes, as well as offensive super-bonuses (missile launchers, grenades, etc. see below). Try not to rush headlong into a hero alone, the more you are, the harder the hero will have to face you all, so you will have a bigger margin to deal damage to him. This is still a beggarly mode, so do your best to be the one to land the killing blow!
