h1. Deathmatch (DM) h2. 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. h2. 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]]” or “[[Shield]]” (which usually spawn every 2 minutes). h2. 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. h2. List of Demos and Videos * Demo: * Players: * Key Points:
