Honor Grounds

High-Value Targets. Players who achieve a 5-kill streak without dying become marked as High-Value Targets with a visible light pillar (red for Red team, blue for Blue team). Killing a marked player awards 4 team points instead of 1. The mark is removed on death and the streak resets.
Comeback Mechanic. When a team falls behind by 20 or more points, they receive a combat buff and earn double points per kill. The bonus is removed automatically once the score gap closes, keeping matches competitive.
Weekly Ranking Tab. A new "Battle" tab has been added to the Ranking window showing weekly Honor Grounds standings. Displays wins/losses, kills/deaths, MVP count, and overall score for the top 100 players, along with your own stats.
Valley of Saints. New battleground map added to the rotation with its own exclusive soundtrack.
Party Registration. You can now register for Honor Grounds while in a party. Your party is automatically dissolved when you are teleported into the match.
Match Duration. Matches are now 10 minutes (reduced from 15).
Autohunt Disabled. Autohunt is now disabled during Honor Grounds matches.
Gear Lock. Equipment is now locked from registration through match end.
