DreamHack Dallas is a very different take on the popular Battle Royale title. The event was hosted by ESL and featured various gameplay modes a regular arena shooter game through custom levels made using Unreal Editor.

The gameplay modes included Capture the Flag, where competing teams had to capture the opponent’s flag and bring it into their base to score. This is a very popular game mode that requires heavy teamwork. The other mode was Hardpoint where players have to hold a capture zone that keeps changing every 60 seconds.
