Turf Wars: The classic 4v4 game mode is available as a Regular Battle right from the get-go.

Splat Zones: Your teams will have to battle for control over specific zones in this mode. Can only be unlocked in Ranked Battles once you reach level 10.

Tower Control: This frantic game mode sees you and other players duke it out on top of a moving tower. Can only be unlocked in Ranked Battles once you reach level 10.

Rainmaker: You and your team will have to work together to carry a Rainmaker into the enemy base. Can only be unlocked in Ranked Battles once you reach level 10.
