In For Honor, we present an overview of all known multiplayer game modes.
For Honor offers you several game modes in multiplayer that require different skills and tactics, ensuring the necessary variety.
In the months following the launch of For Honor, more modes will be introduced for free, which are currently unknown.
List of Multiplayer Game Modes in For Honor
In short: The goal in each online mode is to defeat the opposing team. The “main mode” is called “Dominion”.
Dominion – 4v4: You fight in teams of four against each other and must gain control over zones. There are three zones on the maps (example: A is your zone, C is the enemy zone, and B is in the middle).
At B, soldiers from both teams constantly spawn. If you defeat enough of the enemy soldiers, your soldiers gain the upper hand here, and the zone belongs to you.
In Dominion, you must capture and hold as many zones as possible to earn points. If you capture the enemy zone C, you gain 100 points and one point per second as long as you hold the zone. If you stand still in this zone, you even get 2 points per second.
If you die, there is a respawn near your “home zone”. Once a team has 1000 points, “the opposing team breaks” and the respawn is removed. Now you must defeat the enemies one last time. Whoever survives in the end and defeats the last hero of a broken team wins.
Duels – 1v1: In this mode, you face off solo against another hero. Use your hero’s abilities, read the movements of the other player, and defeat them. Whoever wins three rounds decides the whole match. The radar is inactive.
Brawls – 2v2: This mode is like the duel, except this time two teams face off against each other. You must win three rounds to decide the match in your favor. A team wins a round when the last hero of the opposing team is defeated. There are no respawns. Watch out: The arenas are filled with traps and deep chasms.
Elimination – 4v4: In Elimination, you play “Best of 5”. There is no respawn. In this mode, executions are particularly important to prevent the enemies from reviving fallen teammates. If you defeat the hero who faces you at the beginning, you can rush to aid your allies. If you have no chance against your opponent, you can take to your heels and hope your teammates can support you. Here, there is also the Skirmish, where you must reach 1000 points for victory.
Story Mode and Faction War
In addition to the online modes, you will also find a story campaign and faction war in For Honor. The faction war is the meta-game in For Honor: Cross-platform, it reflects the war between the factions. After your matches, you earn war resources that you can use to defend your territories or to attack enemy territories. A faction war season lasts three months. Then it shows which faction owns the most territories.
In the story mode, you experience a tale about the fight between knights, vikings, and samurai. According to Ubisoft, players will “storm castles and fortresses, turn the tide in seemingly hopeless battles, face deadly bosses in intense duels, and ultimately emerge as battle-hardened warriors who can change the course of a bloody story.”
Important heroes in the campaign are the Warden (Knight), the Orochi (Samurai), and the Raider (Viking).
