Conquest

Conquest is a multiplayer mode in Ratchet:Deadlocked. It is similar to Siege from Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal and Iron Lombax in Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters. In Conquest mode, you win by earning bolts. bolts are earned by killing enemies and capturing nodes. To capture a node, you can do it via the Bolt crank or the Hacker Orbs. With Hacker Orbs on you have to use the Hacker Ray in order to capture nodes. When a node is captured, vehicles, upgrades, and spawn-points are availabe for your team. You can get more powerful upgrades by capturing more nodes. After capturing nodes, you can press the diagnol buttons to vote on what upgrade you want. Your vote time ranges from 5-15 seconds depending on what option the host chooses. The different upgrades youcna choose from are capture resistance, extra turrets, teleport network, ammo pads, health pads, power turrets, force fields, player turrets, vehicles, and missile turrets. Capturing nodes periodically adds to your bolt total. The number of bolts needed to win the game are also optional from 10-500. you can also play this mode with special rules such as Lockdown and Home Nodes. With Lockdown on, the team who captures the most nodes (4) wins. In Home Nodes, there are two main nodes that both need to be captured in order to win. One node is for the red team while the other one is for the blue team. Both nodes are in the main, middle, top, or first spawning point on a map. Players on both teams will have to destroy all of the node defenses and use the Hacker Ray to aquire the Hacker Orbs. The home nodes have all of the upgrades at the start of the game which makes it very difficult for one player alone to capture it.
