King of the Hill is a new mode coming on April 1st as part of the War Machine time-limited event. Two teams rush to capture a single objective on the map while also trying to repel the enemy team!
Combined Arms
In King of the Hill, you’ll fight 20 versus 20 in an all-out battle for control over the objective! Both Infantry close quarter combat and Vehicle skills are going to be required to win over your enemy.
Vehicles will become unlocked as a team loses tickets, so don’t count your chickens just yet and keep your eyes open for a counterattack by enemy forces. King of the Hill features a single objective that moves to a new location after a set amount of time, opening avenues and opportunities to take back control or further dominate the opponent.

Using Spawn Beacons, Irish’s EIDOS system, and other gadgets can swing the match in your favor; use them wisely.
Know your objective and how it rotates.
The rotation will pick from two to three different points, so learning which those can be and rotating quickly will give you an advantage over the enemy team.
