__NOTOC__
==Overview==
As mentioned prior, players will be divided into teams of two or teams of four, depending on the given map. They cannot harm their teammates and may only harm those of opposing teams. The goal can be interpreted as outmatching other teams in kills before the time runs out.
Teams can be distinguished by red and blue colors primarily, though can extend to include green and yellow if the map allows. Each team will also have a randomized mascot icon and name of five different options; WinDOS, The Rebellion, The Mercs, Sewer Dwellers, and Uncertified.

==Trivia==
*There is a system known as Team Autobalance, which acts as an attempt to balance the round. It is triggered when it detects the losing team having much less teammates than the winning team, in which it will transfer some of the players from the latter to the former.
**This is referenced in one of the loading screen tips, "Beware of team autobalance...".
*cave was the first map to be introduced in the mode.
*Prior to its rework, teams do not have the custom icons display, and the victorious team was defined by the amount of kills rather than the scores.
*The loading screen sometimes tells the lore of some factions, for example, it will tell you the Uncertified dummies are a group of combat dummies that went rogue and have a goal of punishing everyone who used combat dummies, another example is explaining WinD0S is a cult that believes technology will rule the world and wants to force everyone to believe it, however, it's still possible for them to spawn with not-so-high-tech weapons.
*Formerly, TDM was available for most FFA maps. Since v1.4.0 restricted TDM to "somewhat TDM-only maps" however, it is now only available for 5.
*TDM entirely negates outlines and highlights from FAITH items.
