Deathmatch (DM) =============== Object of the Game ------------------ Deathmatch is one of the most popular classic gamemodes in Xonotic (and also the easiest). It is a simple free-for-all fight to the death where everyone plays versus everyone. There are no teams or alliances, each player is on his/her own and one must fight for their own survival. - Each kill you make (known in-game as a **frag**) awards you 1 point. - You will lose 1 point if you **suicide** (e.g. fall off the map into space, sink into lava, or kill yourself with a weapon). - The first player to score 30 points wins the match. Map Entities ------------ - **Weapons** - These can be picked up from various places around the map or from a downed player. - **Ammo** - These may be found in the form of shells, bullets, rockets, jet fuel, or power cells. - **Powerups** - All maps have “Health” and “Armor” powerups, which extend your lifetime. Some maps may contain powerups like “[Strength](Powerups#strength)” or “[Shield](Powerups#shield)” (which usually spawn every 2 minutes). Helpful Hints and Tips ---------------------- - Always keep moving. This can be especially true for smaller maps and/or very crowded matches. If you stay in one place for too long, you risk becoming an easy target. - If your map contains powerups such as the ones mentioned above, make good use of them. They can be useful tools to win a match! - Keep your suicides at a minimum. Your point counter *can* enter into the negatives, so always avoid self-injury. - If a player is approaching you fast and there are “Mega Health” or “Mega Armor” powerups nearby, grab them first! This can deprive the opponent of a chance to heal himself once shot.
