Timebomb Duels Free-for-All
Why Start in Free-for-All
Free-for-All is the recommended warm-up mode before Open Arena or First to Five. Lower structured stakes let you drill shift lock strafing, test jukes, and explore map geometry without series pressure.
Training Drills
Drill 1: survive without tagging — pure evasion focus. Drill 2: chase-only rounds when you hold bomb — practice herding and chokepoints. Drill 3: intentional wall-hop routes each map rotation.
Social Learning
Watch skilled players in the same lobby. Copy ankle breaking rhythms and shortcut paths. Free-for-All concentrates practice players during peak hours.
When to Graduate
When you consistently survive mid-lobby with shift lock active, queue structured modes. Skill transfers directly — no separate meta.
