Code of Conduct
Rules of Engagement
01
No Cheating
Hacks, exploits, or third-party tools mean an instant permanent ban. Zero tolerance.
02
No Harassment
Racism, hate speech, and targeted abuse are never tolerated in chat or voice.
03
No Combat Logging
Disconnecting to escape a fight is bannable. Fight it out or die trying.
04
No Stream Sniping
Using streams to gain intel on other players ruins the game for everyone.
05
Respect Safe Zones
Trade hubs and spawn areas are no-fire zones. Violators are removed.
06
Play Fair
Bug abuse, duping, and glitch farming undermine the wipe. Report it instead.
