The game rules work the same as they always do: 100 players face off in a duel to see who can be the last one standing, all while the large, open map shrinks over time, pushing everyone closer and closer together in the process. But now, with the Avengerscrossover twist, one player can actually become Thanos.

Hidden somewhere on the map in every match is a fully assembled Infinity Gauntlet, stones and all. The first player to find and collect it transforms into the Mad Titan, picking up an assortment of superpowers in the process: Super jumping, super punching, and super purple-beams-of-death.
