    Gridiron is the new objective-based gamemode in Operation 3. 5v5 Capture the Flag with one life.

    To capture the flag, either pick it up where it spawns, grab it from a dead teammate, or kill an enemy carrying it. Run it to the Endzone, and hold it for 5 seconds to score and end the round. Be careful and communicate with your team, because if the other team is eliminated the round will end regardless.

    Currently, this is doable in a private match. If this gets patched or changed, I'll edit the solution. Thanks x The Horrorist!

    Let me know if I missed anything that can improve the guide!

    Versus > Custom > Online Game > Host Private

    From there, click on the game mode to open options. There you can enable or disable bots, alter game parameters, etc.

    To add a guest, just press start on a controller then use it to sign in to guest or an alt account. Place them on the other team. Good to go!

    Thanks a bunch! That's one less monthly quest to deal with!

    Yukon Cornelius8 easy steps:
    1. Versus
    2. Custom
    3. Online
    4. Host Private
    5. Leave map as “Allfathers Arena” for best line-of-sight to goal.
    6. Game mode = “Gridiron”, and also set “fill with bots” to “on” in “Gridiron Options”.
    7. Change 4 of your teammates from “SLOT OPEN” to “SLOT LOCKED”, and do the same to the other team. This will reduce the game to 1v1, which prevents (bot) teammates from winning by elimination, and other team from having a chance.
    8. Start match, then once begins, hold “A” to roadie-run to the flag, then to the endzone, then hold it for 5 seconds. :-)
