King Mode is a mini-game type mode in a Free For All setting, which the last standing soldier become King/Queen and then decide which mini-games others will have to play for his/her entertainment.
Availability[]
- Available in all CrossFire versions.
Details[]
The King may select a mini-game from a selection of three random cards and then everyone will have to compete against each others and as well against the King himself in some cases, in order to gain points.
Once the three mini-games are finished, it goes back into the battle royal, in order to choose the new king for the next series of mini-games. This process will repeat itself until at least one soldier reached 5000 points.
If one or more soldiers reached the goal, they will be watching the battle royal and will only participate once one remains or the timer runs out. Then, the remaining soldiers fight. A special exception is when there's only one soldier who hasn't gotten 5000 points left present, in this case they'll be disqualified and all soldiers will start the final battle royal.
If the winner of that battle do not meet the goal, he will further extend the game as he'll be the king for the next three mini-games. Otherwise, if he has the necessary points to win, the game ends with him celebrating his coronation!

Trivia[]
- King Mode references King Game, a kind of game similar to Truth or Dare.
- In the Defuse mini game, King must manually bring out Remote C4 by pressing F, just like Demolition's skill. This may catch newbie players by surprise since the C4 is often located at button 5 instead.
- Just like with Sheep Mode, King Mode has no Vote Kick option in CF Vietnam, giving players more freedom to play without feared of unfair kick, but also doubles as hacker's heaven as they can freely hack to gain advantage and nobody can kick them out.
- One of a more underhanded tactics to win Battle Royal with players more than 5000 points is hiding behind them and taking potshot against other opponents. Since that player cannot move nor be harmed in any way, they inevitably aid other players near them.
- In CF Vietnam, King Mode is renamed 'King Of Game' mode (Vua trò chơi). This is likely a reference to the ever-popular manga Yugioh, which is known in Vietnam as "Vua trò chơi".
- Despite being seasonal, King Mode is still present in CF West and CF Vietnam. This is probably because King Mode is quite popular in CF West compared to the other modes.
- Just like the Sheep Mode, this mode is only available in CF Philippines for 1 month before being removed.
