Chaosball (or Chaos Ball) is a Battlegrounds game mode falling under Flag Games. Its objective is to secure the Chaosball itself and earn 500 points for one's team by carrying it. While being carried, the Chaosball will deal increasing amounts of Oblivion Damage to its carrier.

The Chaosball will spawn in the center of—or somewhere close to the center of—the map a few seconds after the game starts. It will hover above the head of the player who picked it up, creating an AoE ground effect dealing Oblivion Damage only to its carrier's team members. It will deal damage to its carrier every second, while it will earn 4 points for the carrier's team for every 'tick' that elapses while the ball is being carried. If and once the carrier dies, the ball will fall from the carrier and all players will have the opportunity to interact with it to become the new carrier.

The game is in random rotation when queuing for battlegrounds as of 2023. With the addition of Two-Team battlegrounds in Update 44, the new maps feature 3 chaosballs in play at the same time: one functioning normally, one turning the bearer into a Vampire, and one turning the bearer into a Werewolf Behemoth.

NotesEdit

  • As a flag game Battleground, Chaosball games have the potential to net Storm Lord style pages.
  • A popular stratagem among players is to take the Chaosball to your team's base and keep the Chaosball within its radius, allowing the ball to easily be claimed by your teammates upon death. Other stratagems, such as running around the map, are usually disdained due to the potential that they have to bring the Chaosball to opposing teams.
  • In 2022, this game mode was removed from play in and was only available during limited-time Chaos Ball Battleground Weekend events.
  • The Chaosball game mode is also known as "Murderball" in the game files.
