Arcade: Prop Hunt

ANNOUNCEMENT 2026.03.31

Hello players!


Props scattered across the battleground may look ordinary… but not everything is what it appears.
Jump into Prop Hunt, a tense new Arcade mode featuring Props in disguise and Hunters searching for anything suspicious.



General Flow

  • Mode Overview

Prop Hunt is an event mode where players become Hunters or Props in a game of hide-and-seek. Props disguise themselves to survive, while Hunters eliminate all Props before the round ends.


  • Navigate to Play > Arcade > Prop Hunt to enter the mode.

  • Prop Hunt is played with a total of 12 players. Each round features 3 Hunters and 9 Props. 

  • At the start of each round, players choose their preferred role.

    • If one side has too many players, roles are randomly assigned to keep teams balanced.

  • Round Structure

    • Preparation

      • Hunters wait in a designated area with limited vision.

      • Props spawn on the map with increased movement speed and choose a disguise before finding a hiding spot.

    • Phase 1 / Phase 2

      • Hunters search for and attempt to eliminate Props. However, firing at anything other than a player disguised as a prop will reduce HP.

      • During the phase transition, Props' disguises are switched at random.

    • Fever Time

      • A short Fever Time activates just before the round ends. Hunters receive additional weapons and firing no longer reduces HP.

* Even after being eliminated, you can continue watching the match through the free camera. See which props turn out to be the most suspicious.


  • Hunters

    • Perspective: FPP

    • Hunters must eliminate all Props before the round ends. Firing at anything other than a Prop reduces HP, so reckless shooting can be risky.

  • Props

    • Perspective: TPP

    • Prop size affects both HP and movement speed.

    • Props must stay hidden until the end. Use the abilities below strategically to survive.
