Be the coach: pick a plan, call a timeout

Your bots still do the shooting, but between rounds you get a say.

Plan picker over the map: attack plans, a ten-second timer and two coach timeout buttons

A plan for every round

The plan picker now opens right inside the player, over the map. Attacking: Rush A, Rush B, Fake A → B, Split or Save. Defending: Default, Stack A, Stack B or Mid reserve. Don't feel like choosing? The captain decides.

You have 10 seconds, and your opponent only sees your plan once the round starts. The first round now waits a few seconds for you to open the match, so your opening call doesn't slip away.

Coach timeout

Once per half you can call a timeout:

  • Speed it up: your team takes fights earlier.
  • Slow it down: your team holds angles and waits for the other side to slip up.

It only changes how your team plays that round. Aim and reactions stay exactly the same. After a timeout you get 30 seconds to settle on a plan. Against another player, timeouts only work when both coaches are watching the match.

After the match you'll see how many rounds you won after your timeouts.

How to try it

Start a battle in Battle arena and watch it live. Only the squad's owner sees the plan picker.
