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 ==

* '''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.

* 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.

{{Tip|Dying on the cart and running back costs little, since rollback waits before it starts. Abandoning it to go hunting does.}}
