Infernal Dominion
"Infernal Dominion" looks to spice things up a bit by changing aspects about how Dominion works. As usual, teams will need to capture and hold points in order to gain points and win the game. However, when an enemy contests the zone, fire will now surround the zone to enclose you and your enemy within it, or else risk massive damage trying to exit it.
"Infernal Dominion" can be found in the Events Playlist located on your Faction's stronghold.
Event Order
Alongside the new gamemode, we have the event order "Eruption of Mt. Ignis." With this event order, the community will need to win as many "Infernal Dominion" matches to get both Steel and en exclusive symobl.
