Every player starts each round with a 'classic' pistol and one or more 'signature ability' charges. Agents have unique abilities, each requiring charges, as well as a unique ultimate ability that requires charging through kills, deaths, orbs, or objectives.

In the main game mode, players are assigned to either the attacking or defending team with each team having five players on it. Players play as one of a set of Agents, characters based on several countries and cultures around the world.
