DESTROY THE CORE
DTCObjective-Based Warfare
Destroy The Core is an intense objective-based game mode that combines combat with strategic gameplay. Each team has one or more volcanic cores to defend while attempting to destroy the enemy's cores. Break through the enemy defenses, damage their core until the lava leaks out, and claim victory!
How to Win
Instant Victory
Destroy all enemy cores to immediately win the match! Once a team loses all their cores, they are eliminated.
Time-Based Victory
If time runs out, the team with the most cores remaining wins. If teams are tied on core count, the match ends in a draw.
Core Mechanics
Cores are volcanic structures filled with molten lava. To destroy a core, you must break through multiple damage stages:
The game monitors for lava leaks - once lava escapes beyond a certain distance from the core, it's considered destroyed.

Game Rules
30 Minute Matches
Games last up to 30 minutes, or until all enemy cores are destroyed.
Building & Breaking
Build defenses and break through obstacles. Some regions may be protected.
No Self-Damage
You cannot damage your own team's core. Friendly cores are protected from teammates.
Kit Selection
Choose from multiple kits after respawning to suit your playstyle.
Respawn Rules
Players respawn at their team's spawn as long as at least one core survives. If all your team's cores are destroyed, you cannot respawn!
Tips for Success
- Balance offense and defense - don't leave your core unguarded
- Use building to create defensive walls around your core
- Coordinate attacks on enemy cores with teammates for maximum pressure
- Watch for damage stage announcements to know when a core is close to breaking
- Choose your kit based on whether you want to attack, defend, or build
- Keep track of time - if you're ahead on cores, play defensively as time runs low
