Dear players,

Halloween update is finally there on our servers - let’s see what is there inside.

Gun Game

A new game mode where players are divided into two teams and play until one of the players reaches 13 kills or the timer reaches zero.

The trick is, you don't just kill your opponents, but do it with a variety of different weapons. You start with an R8 Revolver, and once you make a kill with it, the revolver disappears and the next weapon, Glock-18C is given to you. Now you face your enemies with the Glock, and so on and so forth.

Here is a full list of weapons, given in the order of how you receive them:

  • R8 Revolver
  • Glock-18C
  • SIG MPX SBR
  • FABARM
  • UZI PRO
  • M16A3
  • FAMAS
  • Uzkon UNG-12
  • SCAR-H
  • M14
  • AUG HBAR
  • Bushmaster BA50
  • Knife

The knife is always there with you, but unless it is your final stage, knife kills won’t grant you progress. Instead, killing an enemy with the knife will regress their progress by 1 stage! That is, if you manage to stab someone camping with a Bushmaster, they will be pushed back to AUG.

Some other rules:

  • There are no rounds in this mode;
  • Players are spawned in random spawn points upon death
  • One second invulnerability is granted after every respawn
  • Players don’t lose their weapon if they die (unless killed by a knife, then they get the previous weapon)
  • Players are given free armor and helmets (like in Casual mode)
  • If a player managed to get two kills with one bullet, only one kill counts towards his progress (the first one)
  • Event rooms will only start with 10 players (5 versus 5)
  • No weapon shop
  • No leave penalty
  • No surrender vote
  • No reconnection

Visuals
