To collect skulls, | To collect skulls, players can either grab the ones that spawn at the start or kill a player. A player with no skulls still drops one at death. When collecting the skulls, players are tagged with a [[navigation point|navpoint]] indicator above their multiplayer models which reveals the amount of skulls collected, even if they are in [[active camouflage]].<ref name="1UP"/> The more skulls the players collect, the bigger a target they are. If a player is killed, all of the skulls will be dropped and opposing players will be able to collect the skulls.<ref name="1UP"/> In addition, players will not be penalized for carrying the skulls and will be able to access all his/her weapons and abilities. The default game-winning score is 25, though if the player manages to deposit 10 skulls at once, they would obtain a [[Skullamanjaro]]. It is important to note that the player will not receive any points until they deposit their skulls into a territory. After a few seconds pass, the deposit zone will start flashing. This indicates that the zone will move in about three seconds, so waste no time depositing your skulls. | ||
