TEAM OBJECTIVE

Turf WarTerritory control

Control territory rather than only chasing opponents.

Official objective: Fight for turf around the map. Areas held by your gang earn points.
Start here: Hold one objective with your team and watch where reinforcements arrive. Leave someone to defend existing turf when pushing forward.
Watch for: Leaving captured turf undefended while the whole team chases distant opponents.

Objectives come from the official store and developer patches. Chain Snatch reflects the 1.0.1.8 change to 75 points, with no points for friendly-chain recovery. Starting tips and cautions are editorial advice.
