# Party Heist

Party Heist is a fast-paced, surprise-filled multiplayer looting and extraction mode. Players compete in teams of four, working together to loot, fight, and extract. Each match lasts approximately 12–20 minutes.

### Primary Objective

Defeat NPCs and enemy players on the battlefield, collect valuable resources, and MOST IMPORTANTLY successfully extract to secure your Loot.

### Key Challenge

Players must strike a balance between risk and reward by selecting the right equipment and strategy to outlast others in high-risk scenarios.

Players can determine their total equipment value based on the selected session tier. Both NPC difficulty and Loot value vary by battlefield. Below are the two available modes for Party Heist:

#### Mask Mode

The EKKO AI fights on behalf of the player.

#### Marauder Mode

Players personally control their heroes in battle.
