It was actually a ‘capture the flag’ type of multiplayer game with a twist of “Uncharted” and it is officially called as the Plunder Mode.
Just like the previous multiplayer modes in “Uncharted 2” and “Uncharted 3,” teamwork is very important in winning the match as the player is tasked with finding the idol on the map and bringing it to his home treasure chest.
The Plunder Mode is also playable on the three maps of the game including Island, Madagascar City, and Rooftops.
The game is almost the same as the classic Plunder game type in previous “Uncharted” games but with some modifications.
From a five on five gaming experience, Naughty Dog has changed it to four on four which means, eight players can play at the same time instead of the previous 10.
The Plunder Mode on “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” also differs from “Uncharted 2” and “Uncharted 3” because players compete in teams of four to hold onto the idol and they can also traverse the map while holding it.
Throwing the idol around still remains as a core part of the multiplayer gameplay and the teamwork strategies on how to do it better is another key to winning the game over the opposing team or teams.
