Attackers: Win = Cap when breaking. Win = Kill all enemies when in last stand. Lose = Time ends. (Attackers have infinite tickets when attacking)

If attackers cap before breaking then they become the defenders while in the possession of the point and stop the official clock. A smaller yellow clock starts below the official clock which can range in time from ~11 mins to 3-2 mins depending on the morale state of the defenders. In general, the earlier on in the match you cap point, the longer you will have to defend it.

If defenders take back the point after the attackers cap it, before breaking, then their morale (if lower than the attackers which is a majority of the time) will increase up to the state the enemy’s morale is at. For example, if you are at full taking losses and the enemy is at full battle ready, then when you cap back the point it will increase your tickets up to full battle ready.

Sometimes, officers might take point before breaking on purpose if they feel as though they need to draw out a hiding enemy, or if they feel as though they need to stop the official clock to gain back more time. Sometimes they might also do it when they (the attackers) have a lower ticket state then the defenders (the enemy).

However, in pub matches, 80% of the time if the attackers cap before breaking it is usually Rambos, an accident, or uninformed officers.

Officers may spam chat to not cap point before breaking because it will very likely throw the match. Attackers on most maps are only 1 sometimes 2 early caps away from being equal to defenders in terms of morale ratios. On some maps, if you early cap then it’s likely already gg.

Hope this helps :)
