The Liquidators look very dry The Liquidators are a hit squad sent by the “Dark Market” to dissolve enemy squads and capture territory. They feature in a new mode called Tactical Conquest, in which squads will compete to capture and hold three flags. Squads win the round by depleting enemy tickets.
