	In '''Payload''' ~~the attackers escort~~ a cart along a track and the ~~defenders try~~ to stop it until time runs out.		In '''Payload''' one team attacks and escorts a cart along a track, and the other defends and tries to stop it until time runs out. Payload maps start with <code>pl_</code>.

	== Rules ==		== Rules ==
	* '''Setup:''' the cart is locked for the ~~first 30 seconds.~~		* '''Setup:''' the cart is locked for a short setup time at the start.
	* '''Clock:''' 20 minutes once the cart unlocks. Each checkpoint the cart reaches adds 7.5 minutes.		* '''Pushing:''' attackers standing next to the cart move it. More pushers move it faster, with each extra pusher adding less.
	* '''Pushing:''' attackers standing next to the cart move it. ~~Speed depends on how many push: 1.0 m/s for one~~, ~~1.4 for two, 1.7 for three and 2.0 m/s for four or more~~.		* '''Blocking:''' a defender beside the cart stops it.
	* '''Blocking:''' a ~~single~~ defender beside the cart stops it ~~dead~~.		* '''Checkpoints:''' reaching a checkpoint adds time to the clock, and the cart never rolls back past one.
	* '''~~Rollback~~:''' ~~if no attacker touches~~ the cart ~~for 20 seconds it~~ rolls back ~~at 0~~.~~5 m/s, but never past~~ a ~~checkpoint it has reached~~.		* '''Rollback:''' a cart left alone for a while rolls back slowly.
	* '''Overtime:''' if time runs out while an attacker is on the cart, the round goes ~~to overtime. It ends once no attacker has been~~ on ~~the cart for half a second, so~~ the defenders ~~have to~~ clear ~~the cart to win~~.		* '''Overtime:''' if time runs out while an attacker is on the cart, the round goes on until the defenders clear it.
	* '''Winning:''' attackers win when the cart reaches the end; defenders win when the clock runs out.		* '''Winning:''' attackers win when the cart reaches the end; defenders win when the clock runs out.
	* Respawning players come back at the spawn point nearest the front.

	{{Tip\|Dying on the cart and running back costs ~~nothing~~, since rollback waits ~~20 seconds~~. Abandoning it to go hunting does.}}		Each map sets its own setup time, clock, push speeds and rollback; see the map's page.

TeamSpecBot: Game mode page for Payload

Game mode page for Payload

New page

{{Infobox game mode

}}

In '''Payload''' the attackers escort a cart along a track and the defenders try to stop it until time runs out.

== Rules ==
* '''Setup:''' the cart is locked for the first 30 seconds.
* '''Clock:''' 20 minutes once the cart unlocks. Each checkpoint the cart reaches adds 7.5 minutes.
* '''Pushing:''' attackers standing next to the cart move it. Speed depends on how many push: 1.0 m/s for one, 1.4 for two, 1.7 for three and 2.0 m/s for four or more.
* '''Blocking:''' a single defender beside the cart stops it dead.
* '''Rollback:''' if no attacker touches the cart for 20 seconds it rolls back at 0.5 m/s, but never past a checkpoint it has reached.
* '''Overtime:''' if time runs out while an attacker is on the cart, the round goes to overtime. It ends once no attacker has been on the cart for half a second, so the defenders have to clear the cart to win.
* '''Winning:''' attackers win when the cart reaches the end; defenders win when the clock runs out.
* Respawning players come back at the spawn point nearest the front.
