Toot Tots Capture the Flag: Team Tactics for Pillow Fort Showdown

How Capture the Flag works in Toot Tots

Capture the Flag is the team mode of Toot Tots, the free first-person party shooter with diaper babies. Team Bottle (blue) and Team Binky (pink) each have a flag with a diaper on it standing in their fort. You score by grabbing the other team's flag and carrying it back to your own.

1. 1

   Grab the enemy flag

   Walk into the other team's flag to pick it up. The game announces it to everyone, and the flag shows on your back.

2. 2

   Carry it home

   Bring it to your own flag stand. You only score if your own flag is at home on its stand.

3. 3

   If the carrier pukes, the flag drops

   It stays on the ground where it fell. Either team can walk over it: the enemy picks it up again, and its own team sends it straight home.

4. 4

   Dropped flags go home on their own

   A flag left on the ground for 20 seconds returns to its stand.

Matches go to 2, 3 or 5 captures. If the time runs out on a tie, it's Sudden Spew: the next capture wins. Capture the Flag always plays on Pillow Fort Showdown. If you're new to the rules of red, potty and puke, read the beginner's guide first.

A tour of Pillow Fort Showdown

Pillow Fort Showdown is a long map, built as a mirror image. Team Bottle's fort is at the top (north) and Team Binky's fort is at the bottom (south), with open ground in between.

Snack rings sit on the castle deck, out in each lane and near each fort. Cover in the open (blocks, giant ducks, beach balls, bushes and trees) is mirrored too, so neither side has a better path.

Attacking: how to steal the diaper flag

• Go in pairs. One baby turns defenders red, the other grabs the flag. A lone attacker who gets hit once is in trouble, far from any friendly cover.
• Pick a lane and stick to it. The crawl tunnel on the west side hides you; the east side's platforms let you come in high over the pillows.
• Clear the gate with splash. Big Burt's Whoopee Bazooka splashes everyone near the pillows at a gate, which turns a crowd of defenders red at once.
• Butt-jet out with the flag. The dash is the fastest way out of the fort, and its gas trail can turn a chaser red behind you.
• Don't stop to flush. A red carrier is one hit from dropping the flag. If home is close, keep running. If it's far, a potty on the way can be worth the second.

Defending your fort

• Hold a tower with the Stink Sniper. The corner towers see attackers coming down both lanes. A headshot pukes a carrier instantly and drops the flag.
• Guard the gates with the Bean Pump. Lil' Beans is at her best right at the pillows, where attackers have to come close.
• Return dropped flags fast. Your own flag on the ground goes home the moment a teammate walks over it. Waiting 20 seconds for it to return gives the enemy time to pick it up again.
• Chase the carrier, not the crowd. One puke on the carrier is worth more than three on the attackers around them.

Bots on your team split up on their own: about two in three go on the attack and the rest stay home to guard the flag. If you play with bots, you can fill whichever job they leave thin.

Team Diaper tips

Team Diaper is the other team mode: no flags, and every puke counts for your team, up to 7, 10 or 15. It plays on either map: Lil' Tooters Daycare for smaller teams, Pillow Fort Showdown for bigger ones.

• Stack your guns. One Whoopee Bazooka to turn groups red and one Triple Toot or Gatling to finish them works better than four of the same gun.
• Shoot the red ones. A red enemy with 🥵 over its head is one hit from a team point. Call them out if you play side by side.
• Cover the potties. Red enemies have to go to a potty. Waiting near one that just landed is a reliable way to score.

The weapons and movement guide has the numbers for every gun if you want to plan a team around them.
