What is Champion Hill mode in Call of Duty: Vanguard?
Champion Hill is the latest addition to the Call of Duty franchise. It’s a unique blend of 2v2 gunfight and battle royal. 12 teams comprising of two players started off with a pool of 12 lives.
After that, two teams are randomly pitted against each other for a minute in 2v2 gunfights. Whenever a player dies, his team’s total count reduces by one, and upon reaching zero, they’re eliminated. This goes on until only one team stands.
Developers at Sledgehammer Games have also added in a meta-game of economic management. Players gain cash after killing opponents, which can also be found across the map. With this cash, players can upgrade their weapons and add new attachments. They can also buy additional support and perks.
Champion Hill has already become quite famous for its fun and unique gameplay mechanics, and fans are certainly looking forward to jumping in when Call of Duty: Vanguard launches on 5 November 2021.
