Enter the "Nest" online battle simulator.

Quotes[]

"Raven. I was looking into the Arena, and I discovered something you might want to know about. It's a network service that was labeled "Nest," with no obvious clues about its purpose. From what I can tell, it's a special mercenary support program—encrypted and kept secret. I've installed a backdoor, so you'll have no trouble getting in as you please."

— Ayre on giving access to C4-621 "Raven"^[1]

Modes[]

Single match - a traditional 1vs1 between two players in 3 rounds. Destroying your opponent nets you 1 pt. The first person to gain 3 points wins, or alternatively gain a 2-point lead over their opponent.
Team match - a 3vs3 team survival game between 6 players, or lower if the maximum player count is not met. The objective is to gain as many points by destroying the opposition in the limited time in the match. Players respawn infinitely at random points in the map with a delay per death. The team with the most points at the end of the match wins.
