Bethesda.net introduces Duel Mode, a one-on-one game variant that will be
part of
Quake Champions, id Software's upcoming first-person shooter that's
currently running an open
large-scale tech test. The post
includes
this trailer
showing off the mode, and here are some of the details:
Duel mode
introduces an additional layer of strategy to Quake Champions, incorporating
multiple Champions with differing Abilities. To start, players will select three
Champions in a snake-style draft before heading to the Arenas. In choosing their
roster, players will have to consider which Champions are better suited to their
unique playstyle and which are effective counters to their opponents’ choices.
Taking a cue from fighting games, Duel is played as a best-of-three match. There
are three total rounds, and in each round, a player has to defeat all three of
the opponent’s Champions. When a player is fragged, they will respawn as another
of their chosen Champions. When one player has eliminated all three of the
opposing Champions, a winner for that round is declared.
