addedAdded / Introduced:New mode: "Key to Start" (map: Russia – Plesetsk Cosmodrome) A large-scale asymmetric mode where the launch team prepares the rocket for liftoff, while the saboteurs must stop it at all costs! The battle is divided into three stages: ​ Fuel Storages – The launch team must capture liquid fuel stations. Saboteurs can block the capture by entering and staying within the capture zone. Pipeline Restoration – The launch team repairs the damaged pipeline leading to the launch pad. Stage feature: saboteurs can not only block the repair zone with their presence but also damage the pipes themselves, resetting the repair progress! Pre‑launch Countdown – Engines ignited! Now the saboteurs must destroy the rocket, while the launch team must defend it at all costs. Tactical freedom: the rocket has a health pool. Engineers can repair it even under heavy fire, and heavy units can save it from barrages with the "Taunt" ability. Whether the rocket soars into space or turns into a heap of scrap metal is entirely up to you.
