Combat Rules

Shooting Tires as Initiation

• Using tire shooting as an initiation method is acceptable, provided you have engaged in at least 2 minutes of roleplay beforehand.

• If you are reported for randomly shooting tires without proper RP context, it will be considered forced roleplay, and you will face disciplinary action.

Failing to Unlock Vehicles

• If someone uses the command /me takes keys, you must unlock the vehicle for them. Failure to do so is Fail RP.

• Allowed if this is the only means of transportation available. 

No Talking While Downed

• When you’re downed, you’re incapacitated. No calling out for backup, organizing people, or relaying information to others via voice chat, text, or any other means.

• Please, have push to talk enabled in game (Voice Settings…)

• No /me unless using for an action using /me to communicate is not allowed

Death Running

• When a player enters a combat zone and is gearing up for a shootout, they must not maneuver in a way that makes them artificially difficult to hit before the official engagement starts.

• For instance, imagine a player who has just arrived at a location where other players are preparing for a firefight. Instead of immediately taking cover or positioning themselves for fair combat, they sprint around in circles, zigzagging across open ground to avoid being an easy target. This kind of evasive movement in the moments leading up to the shootout is an example of "death running" and is not allowed.

• In another example, consider a scenario where a player drives up to a shootout scene and then leaps out of their vehicle only to run quickly from side to side. Although they might feel that this tactic helps them avoid incoming fire, it unfairly minimizes their vulnerability during the critical initial seconds of the engagement. This approach disrupts the intended balance by giving them an undue tactical advantage.

Using /me for Taking Keys

• If you intend to take keys from a downed person, use the /me command to describe the action (e.g., “/me takes keys from pocket”). If the individual refuses to unlock the vehicle, this is considered Fail RP.

• Note: This rule does not directly apply to PD. For police, keys can only be taken in valid RP scenarios (such as if an officer is downed or during a legitimate situation like a hostage scenario involving cells/doors). Randomly stealing or taking keys is not acceptable roleplay. Additionally, keys for PD bulletproof vehicles (e.g., SWAT vehicles) will never be taken, and requests for such keys will be ignored.
