GAMEPLAY

HOSTAGE

Hostage can’t stand the heat.

• Removed hostage immunity to fire damage.
• Before the hostage has been picked up in a round, Goyo is responsible for all damage his Volcan causes to the hostage.
• After the hostage has been picked up at least once in the round, whoever destroys the Volcan shield is responsible for the damage caused to the hostage.
• Goyo, Capitao, and Wamai will all follow these RFF rules in regards to hostage.
• Additionally, when Attackers escort hostage through a trap (ie: Kapkan EDD) and the hostage bleeds out, the Attackers will lose the round not the Defenders.
