    Retake is a new limited-time 3v3 mode: the Spike is already planted, one team holds while the other retakes, sides swap every round, there is no economy (you pick loadout cards), and the first team to 5 rounds wins.
    Source line
    Introducing RETAKE, a fast 3v3 Spike mode built around constant post-plant action. The Spike is already planted when the round begins; one team holds, the other coordinates the retake under a ticking timer. Hold the site, push the retake, and race to 5 rounds.
    • Sides swap every round. Planters defend the planted Spike, Retakers push to defuse
    • No economy. Pick from two cards each round: weapons and armor, and ability charges
    • First team to 5 rounds wins
    • Available at launch: sites from Ascent, Bind, Haven, Summit, and Sunset
