For anyone unfamiliar or in need of a refresher, Prop Hunt essentially functions likea game of Hide and Seek. It takes a group of players and divides them up into two teams: Props (hiders) and Hunters (seekers). When the game starts, individuals on the Prop team will have a limited amount of time to find a suitable hiding place on the map. Unlike traditional games of Hide and Seek, however, Props will have the ability to become certain items on the map, like, for example, a present under a Christmas tree.
Once the hiding time limit expires, Hunters will seek Prop members out and attempt to gun them down on sight. Should a Prop be found, however, they’ll have the ability to try and run away from the Hunters. If they manage to escape, they can find a new hiding place and become a new prop (not necessarily in that order). The game ends in a win for Props if the Hunters can’t destroy them before time runs out, and the game ends in a win for Hunters if they destroy all the Props within the time limit.
Prop Hunt is the first of many game modes introduced byCall of Duty Mobile’s Holiday Celebration updates, which plan to implement a number of different holiday-inspired events up until January 3. The holiday version of Prop Hunt will be around from December 20 to December 31 and will be available on the Winter Raid map. Luckily, only the holiday-themed version of the game mode leaves on the 31. On the same day, the regular version of Prop Hunt will allegedly be permanently available on themaps Crashand Standoff.
Finally, an update on January 1 will introduce Prop Hunt Pt2 and new challenges. What exactly Prop Hunt Pt2 will do differently from the first remains to be seen, but it’s more Prop Hunt, so whatever it is should be fun. For those who aren’t exactly interested in Prop Hunt, however, maybe they’ll have more funkilling Santain theZombies game mode.
