Our biggest addition yet: a full competitive shooter inside the server. Two teams of five, rounds, an economy, operatives with abilities, ranks and a career of its own.
Where: the arena terminal at Pizza Stacks, just north of Legion Square (red crosshair on the map, also in /nb). Walk up and press E. It's free: no money won or lost, and your position, health, armour and weapons come back when you leave.
Modes: Swift (first to 5) - Standard (first to 7) - Ranked (real players only, level 10) - Versus bots - The Range (practice) - Custom (host your own). Party up to 5 from the PLAY page.
The round: attackers plant the Core at site A or B, defenders stop or defuse it. Pick one of six operatives (CINDER, VOLT, WARDEN, ECHO, EMBER, FROST) with four abilities each, then press B to buy from 17 guns, shields and abilities.
Built to feel like a real tactical shooter
- First person, fast run speeds per gun, Shift to walk quietly
- Operator outfits in team colours; each map has its own look (MANIFEST, CROSSWIND, QUAYSIDE)
- Aim down sights, sniper scopes, recoil you can learn, stop-to-shoot accuracy
- Tracers and sparks, enemy outlines only in plain sight (red, yellow or purple)
- Kill sounds that build to ACE, a combat report after you die, CLUTCH / ACE / MVP round calls
- Hold Z for the ping wheel
Your career: VANTAGE levels and ranks, daily missions, gun camos, a leaderboard, and /vantage stats. SETTINGS has a crosshair editor and colour-blind outline colours.
Leaving a match: F3 (Fn + F3 on most laptops) or /vantage leave. Leaving a live match counts as a loss.
See you at Pizza Stacks.
