Squid Game: Warzone limited-time mode explained

The Squid Game: Warzone LTM introduces an engaging experience, drawing elements from the Squid Game series. One key feature is the motion-sensing doll, Young-hee, located somewhere on the map. Randomly, the Red Light, Green Light game will begin multiple times during a match. While players can move freely during green light, any movement during red light will result in elimination.

In addition to this, players will face various challenges, such as using specific equipment, damaging enemies, using Killstreaks, or completing other unique challenges. These challenges come with a time limit, and failing to complete them on time will impact your team's chances of survival.

At the end of each round, teams that underperform or fail to participate in the challenges will be eliminated, removing the whole squad from the game.

Additionally, Young-hee’s location will be marked on the map. If you head to its spot, you’ll find four loot caches containing high-tier loot.

To survive in this mode, you and your team must successfully navigate the 'Red Light, Green Light' games, complete time-limited challenges, and eliminate opponents. The last team standing will emerge as the winner.
