The Antlion Swarm event takes place randomly throughout the game. When the Antlion Swarm is active a warning will be sent out to the city that Lockdown Units are present to deal with the threat.

All Overwatch units are required to attack the Antlions in this 5 - 10 minute long event, and any legal issues or complaints from civilians cannot be dealt with at this time. This is so that during the event, you are able to get away with illegal activities.

The Zombie Reign event takes place the first time Overwatch has been overthrown and a Rebel, Outlaw or Civilian leader has taken reign over the city.

Anyone who was previously an Overwatch member is able to play as a Zombie for a short time during this event.

The Event ends after 5 minutes.

The Lockdown Event will take place at any point where in which the Overwatch deem a situation to be out of control.

Lockdowns will require all citizens to listen to Overwatch's demands until the threat has been dealt with.

A more in-depth explanation can be found in Overwatch Guidelines.

Judgement Waves are a player defined event that is intended to display the Overwatch's oppressive dominance over the city.

During this event, an annoument will be made that Overwatch will be able to raid anyone's base, home or store and destroy any printers or, kill anyone who stops them from progressing.

If the Crime Lord or Rebel Leader decide to begin an Uprising then a Heavy Lockdown will begin. Every uprising must be announced using in the game chat.

The Syndicate and The Rebels sub-factions will be unlocked for players to swap to for this event however, when your faction leader dies the event will end.

Your goal is to kill The Overseer and The Elite to disable Overwatch respawn, and then kill any remaining Overwatch units on the map.

After an Uprising Event your Crime Lord or Rebel Leader is able to 'Claim Reign' by publicly announcing in the game chat that Overwatch has been defeated and either The Brood Family or The Free Republic will now claim reign to the city.

After this event, Overwatch can no longer exist and either The Brood Family or The Free Republic must police the city and remake the laws.

After The Overseer has been killed, Overwatch may decide to begin a Purge Event where they have the power to kill anyone they want after advertising it has begun.

The Purge Event must end when the suspected killer of the Overseer has been eliminated. It is not mandatory.

After Overwatch has lost their reign over the city, Deathwatch will be able to invade and try to reclaim Overwatch's reign. This event is not automated and will always be started if admins deem it to be appropriate to reset the server to default.

The Deathwatch Event is essentially a server reset event. The only way to prevent this is if a collective effort is made to defeat the Deathwatch Invader.
