Direct Answer
Control Zone
The team with the most players inside the zone earns points. Because the location changes between matches, route planning and transport matter as much as a fixed landmark.
Hot Zone
The official FAQ describes the Hot Zone as a shifting sub-zone that provides double cash and double player-count contribution. Treat it as a high-value, high-pressure area rather than an automatic win condition.
Routes and Third-Team Pressure
Use the wider map to choose covered infantry approaches, helicopter transport, or a position that can be abandoned when the third team arrives. The official sources do not publish a final zone algorithm or spawn list.
FAQ
How large is the Control Zone?
The official description gives a randomized 2x2 km zone within a 256 km2 larger map.
Does the Hot Zone always move the same way?
No published algorithm is available. Its current movement should be verified in the live build.
