The Head Hunters gamemode gives your team more points the more gems you bring to your base, giving great reward to great risk. Still, the escalation of points at higher numbers of gems can feel a little extreme sometimes. Here are some alternate proposals for how many points each number of gems (up through 20 gems) could be worth for your team; which of these most appeals to you as a player?
