H1Z1: King of the Hill Adds Ignition Mode

Daybreak Games has released a new competitive game mode for H1Z1: King of the Kill called Ignition. Like the Battle Royale mode, Ignition is a fight-to-the-death struggle for resources and survival against up to 150 other players – with a twist.

Rather than parachuting into the action, Ignition starts each challenger off with their very own ATV and a pack of explosives strapped to their body. Players have a limited amount of time to scavenge for weapons and equipment before making their way to one of several safe zones. Anyone who fails to reach sanctuary before the countdown expires will trigger their devices, eliminating them from the match. Players that leave the safe zone before the detonation timer resets for the next wave will meet a similar fate.

Safe areas will decrease in number and change positions on the map as matches progress. The time allotted to reach shelter will also decrease with each round, making later waves even more intense as players rocket at full speed toward the final havens. Airdrops will occur throughout the match, each including a fully loaded off-road vehicle, making life easier for those willing to take the risk.
