"Take the enemy's flag from their base and bring it back to your own, while protecting your team's flag."
— In-game Description

CTF, full name Capture the Flag, is an Arena game mode featured in XDefiant. CTF was first added in Season 1, and is featured in Ranked.

Overview

CTF pits both teams against each other in who can obtain the opposing team's flag from their base and successfully return it to their base. Once a player picks up the enemy flag, the flag carriers are marked with an icon. Allies with a flag will have real time icon tracking, whereas enemies with a flag will have delayed tracking. Flags that are dropped on the floor require 5 seconds to return to base by their allies. The first team to earn 4 captures, or the team with the most captures after 10 minutes, will win the match.

In Ranked, the game is separated into two 5 minute halves, wherein the teams will switch sides. The score limit has also been removed, with victory occurring with having the most captures.
