Passing the bomb
You pass the bomb by making physical contact with another player. Once you hand it off, keep track of the new holder so you can react when the chase changes direction. Losing sight of the bomb is especially risky when several opponents are close together.
Learning across rounds
First to Five gives you repeated chances to notice an opponent's habits. Watch which routes they take when they carry the bomb, then change your approach in the next round. A lost round can still tell you where they like to run.
FAQ
Does First to Five end after five rounds?
The target is five round wins, so the match can last longer than five rounds when opponents split the wins.
