This period of time gives the losing team one last chance to snag victory in the match!
How to Play Splat Zones
Cover all Zones with Your Team's Ink!
The Splat Zones are a 4 versus 4 multiplayer game mode for Anarchy Battles where your objective is to gain control of all the zones in map.
Similar to King of the Hill modes in other games, your team needs to ink as many zones as possible to capture them. The team that controls each zone the longest and has less time left on their timer wins the match!
Splat Zones Tips and Tricks
Cover as Much Turf as Possible
Splat Zones is less about splatting the opposing team and more on capturing and holding as many zones as possible with Ink!
Focus on covering as much turf possible at the start of the match and only splat other players when you're trying to hold a zone, especially on Overtime!
