Chaos Ball (or Chaosball) is a Battlegrounds game mode falling under Flag Games. Its objective is to secure the Chaos Ball itself and earn 500 points for one's team by carrying it. While being carried, the Chaos Ball will deal increasing amounts of Oblivion Damage. The time limit is of 15 minutes, if no team has reached 500 points by that time, the team with the most points wins. Matches are of one of two variants: Variant one only has base chaos balls while Variant two has one base chaos ball, one Werewolf Behemoth chaos ball and one Blood Scion chaos ball.

The Chaos Ball will spawn in the center of—or somewhere close to the center of—the map a few seconds after the game starts. It will hover above the head of the player who picked it up, creating an AoE ground effect dealing Oblivion Damage over time only to its carrier and it's team members. It will add at a stack of "Chaos Ball" debuff and deal damage every second. In 4v4v4 will earn 4 points, and in 8v8 10 points for the regular chaos ball and 3 points for the Werewolf Behemoth and Blood Scion chaos balls for the carrier's team for every tick that elapses while the ball is being carried. If and once the carrier dies, the ball will fall from the carrier and all players will have the opportunity to interact with it to become the new carrier.

As it deals Oblivion Damage, damage reduction effects, resistances and blocking will not reduce its damage. As it is a DoT AoE, dodge-rolling inside will not make you evade the damage. You cannot drop the ball yourself, only dying does so.

The game is in random rotation when queuing for battlegrounds as of 2023. With the addition of Two-Team battlegrounds in Update 44, the new maps feature 3 chaos balls in play at the same time: one functioning normally, one turning the bearer into a Vampire, and one turning the bearer into a Werewolf Behemoth.

Carrying any chaos ball gives you the "Chaos Ball" debuff:

-You and nearby allies are dealt .5% of the carrier's max health as oblivion damage every second, increasing by 25% of the base value every tick.

-You get 1% of healing taken and shield strength reduction every 2 ticks.

Notes

• As a flag game Battleground, Chaos Ball games have the potential to net Storm Lord style pages.
• A popular stratagem among players is to take the Chaos Ball to your team's base and keep the Chaos Ball within its radius, allowing the ball to easily be claimed by your teammates upon death. Other stratagems, such as running around the map, are usually disdained due to the potential that they have to bring the Chaos Ball to opposing teams.
• In 2022, this game mode was removed from play in and was only available during limited-time Chaos Ball Battleground Weekend events.
• The Chaos Ball game mode is also known as "Murderball" in the game files.
