Bomb Ball (Arena War)

Overview

Bomb Ball is an Arena War adversary mode for two teams and 2 to 16 players, played inside the Maze Bank Arena in La Puerta. It arrived on December 25, 2018, as part of the Arena War update (1.46) during the Festive Surprise 2018 event, and works like a lawless take on soccer. It comes in three versions: Bomb Ball I (Apocalypse), Bomb Ball II (Future Shock) and Bomb Ball III (Nightmare).

How it works

The host can enable team balancing and choose one to four rounds. Players pick any Arena Ready or Arena Contender vehicle, and if the host allows custom vehicles, they can use and upgrade their own.

Each team starts at opposite ends of the arena, with ten bomb balls scattered across the floor. Vehicles push the bombs into the opposing half while blocking the other team from doing the same. When the one-minute timer ends, every bomb on the enemy side scores one point. Driving a bomb into the goal scores three points and resets that bomb. Arena traps are active throughout, and gun turrets become available to both teams 30 seconds into each round. All three maps are open arenas with fences up and the pit lane closed.

Tips

• Goals are worth three times a parked bomb, so push straight for the net when a lane is open.
• Keep one teammate back to clear bombs from your own half near the end of the timer.
• Heavy vehicles with good traction push bombs more easily.
