PvP Rules

  • Red Zones are full PvP ONLY
  • No video proof of PvP rules violation = no reimbursement. Its a survival game and PvP.. Please be prepared for it.
  • If you enter/Build in PvP zone and are shot/base raided; you are liable to be looted of all contents on your body looted and your base emptied.
  • No Zone Scoping. ZERO tolerance. Zone Scoping: Spotting/scoping/shooting a player that's inside a PvP zone from OUTSIDE the PvP zone.
  • We have logs and we use them.
  • You may only engage players who are clearly INSIDE a PvP Zone.
  • If you enter a PvP Zone, it is assumed you are going there to fight and loot corpses/bases. getting killed as you enter, is still combat.
  • Dead Players inside PvP zones are fair game to all. If you have a kill and someone else gets to the body faster. Kill them too. or be faster next time.
  • Driving/Flying In/Over a PvP Zone is still IN a PvP zone, regardless of position. Damage taken in the zones is permitted.
  • Vehicles INSIDE PvP Zones are fair game for looting.
  • Turtling is allowed. "Turtling": using cover and concealment to your advantage, popping-out to engage, then returning for cover. That's combat and just smart.
  • Camping in PvP is allowed. Again, that's combat. If it weren't... there'd be no snipers or sniper rifles. it'S PvP. Don't want to die? stay of PvP Zones.
  • Bases built inside a PvP Zone are Fair game. No loggin out while your base is being raided. If you can rebuild during a raid.. go for it. good luck.
  • No animated glitching to enter a base in PvP Zones is permitted. raid it fair and square or not at all.
