Player Commands

In-Game Actions

Players typically interact through:

• Standard combat (kill to level)
• Knife kills (level stealing if enabled)
• Death (level loss penalties)

No special player commands needed - all gameplay is automatic.

Troubleshooting

Not leveling up after kills

Check:

• Kill count requirement per level
• Correct enemy team
• Not affected by teamkill penalty

Stuck at knife level

This is intentional:

• Knife is typically the final weapon
• First to get knife kill wins
• Most challenging level

Losing levels unexpectedly

Possible causes:

• Teamkill penalty
• Suicide penalty
• Enemy knife steal (if enabled)
