Limited Time Modes

Limited Time Modes are special types of Game Modes in Paladins.

Limited Time Modes add unique rule sets, modifiers, or twists to the traditional Paladins Gameplay. Each week one Limited Time Mode will be available from Friday to Sunday, opening up at 12:00 PM (noon) UTC and will run for a full 72 hours. In some regions this mode opens earlier, it will be closed at the same time in all regions. Champions can be played in these modes regardless of whether they've been unlocked.

Trivia

• As mentioned here, Vivian was originally meant to be part of the 'Seriously Serious Shooter' mode, but wasn't included due to crashing the game.
• The 'Knock, Knock!' mode was originally called 'Knockaround', but it was changed for an unknown reason.
• The 'Rei Day' mode featured 'LTM' as part of its title in-game, and reused the title for the description as well, despite a description being used in a This Week in the Realm.
• The 'Dwarf Fortress' mode is a reference to the videogame of the same name.
• The 'Hunter vs Hunter' mode could be a reference to the anime Hunter x Hunter.
• Some modes, such as Leaping Dead and Bunker Buster, were unintentionally made briefly available again in the following week instead of being replaced by new modes, though these events were short-lived, as the modes were soon replaced as intended.
