Conquests are scheduled throughout the week, typically every Sunday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and usually start @ 6:00 PM EST. Although, this is the normal schedule for them, once in a while things may get moved around so be sure to check the [https://olympus-entertainment.com/cal/ calendar] to be sure! On the main calendar you can also find out useful details related to the conquest, such as what server and map they’ll be hosted on specific to that day.
Conquest is held during the week and on weekends as seen on the main calendar. The regularly scheduled events are held on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday starting at 6pm EST. It is best to check the calendar for potential time/date changes as well as additional information including the map planned for that conquest.

When conquest is about to begin, the zone will show in a yellow color. The conquest event begins 10 minutes after the initial broadcast.
==='''Getting Started'''===
You will only be given the option to spawn into the Megaquest Hub area if it is before the conquest begins. Here you can gear up and meet up with your team.
*After the conquest begins, you will be given additional spawn point options when you load in.
Megaquest  Hub is a timerless safe zone. It is a good idea to decide on your loadout and save it in a loadout slot for easier gearing in the future.
*It is strongly recommended that you have a cheap kit and a more extravagant kit saved in loadout slots so you can switch up easily according to your playstyle.
*Additionally, it is recommended that you pull and drive some type of armored vehicle to a capture point such as ifrit. Vehicles cannot be destroyed/chopped.


Additionally, after the initial broadcast, the time on the server is set to "day" and any rain or fog is cleared.
==='''Teams'''===
Consist of a maximum of 10 players, typically in the same gang
*Automatic payout only goes to all gang members that got a kill/death/capture. If you decide to make a group, you will need to arrange how you are going to split up the money afterward.
*You get the payout based on the gang you were in for your first kill/death/capture. If you were not in the correct gang you cannot be compensated. However, if you were in the proper gang before your first kill/death/capture and do not get a payout you can submit a comp request for review.
**It is highly recommended that you meet up with your team on server 3 prior to the start of conquest and have everyone join the same gang.
A penalty will occur for having more than 10 players on a team.
*No points will be accrued for any team with more than ten players.
*Additionally, no points can be collected for one minute after the excess players leave the group/gang/server.


If you travel to the conquest rebel to gear-up for the event, you will not have safe-zone protection. However, if you spawn in at the rebel you will have said safe-zone protection in the conquest rebel's safe zone until you shoot your weapon, leave the zone, or until 5 minutes pass. The conquest rebel safe zone extends 200 meters from the rebel marker in all directions. Once the conquest begins, anyone on the server that dies afterwards will have the option to spawn at the conquest rebel(s). Once you lose safe-zone protection, you can be shot and killed. Players that have this safe-zone protection will have a shield icon above their head. It’s good to note when you are in smoke nametags will start to appear when you are within 5m of a player.
==='''Voting'''===
Before the start of conquest, there will be a vote for the location of that round.  


To capture a conquest point: walk up to the flag pole, aim at the flag pole, use the scroll wheel to find the capture option, and then stay within 15m of the flag while capturing to complete the progress bar. It takes 45 seconds to capture a conquest point. Doing this will capture the point for the gang you're in and or SWAT if you’re fighting on the APD side during the conquest.
There will be a location vote before every subsequent round.


When your gang owns a capture point, your gang will gain 5 conquest points per 5 seconds that it holds that capture point. Members of your gang can retrieve vehicles from the capture point's flag. There will always be three-five capture zones for each conquest map.
Your vote may be changed while voting is open.


There is a 10 player gang/group cap during conquest. Groups with more than 10 people will not receive points until 5 minutes after the 11th player leaves.
Location is chosen by the majority vote.


There will also be designated capture points that will be converted into '''Hot Zones''' which are worth X2 points when captured. hot zones will display a 3 minute notification stating which point will be selected. The hot zone will remain active for 7 minutes, after which, there will be a new notification showing where the hot zone will be moved.

When a player dies within the conquest zone, the value of their gear is added to the pot.
For Rebels:
*White Square, uncaptured point or cleared by SWAT
*Red Square, capture point held by another team
*Green Circle, capture point held by your team

*Green Triangle with skull, Hot Zone Active capture point held by your team
For SWAT:

At the end of the event, the reward money is split between gangs proportional to scored points. For example, if one gang has 3,000 points and another gang has 1,000 points - the gang with 3,000 points is rewarded 75% of the total pot.
