PURGE VIRUS
PLAYER GAMEPLAY GUIDE

QUICK START

  3. Fight other players as normal deathmatch.

MAIN OBJECTIVE: VIRUS, ANTIDOTE, EXIT

The Purge Virus rules are active when the server has virus time enabled.
When active, every spawned player is considered infected once the match is
playing.

Virus timer:

  • The virus timer starts while you are alive and in the playing match.
  • If the timer runs out before you find the antidote, you die from the virus.
  • During the last 10 seconds, the game warns you in the center of the screen.
  • The virus death message is “succumbed to the virus.”

Antidote:

  • When you pick up the antidote, your virus timer stops.
  • You will see: “You found the antidote. Get to the exit to escape.”
  • If you die while holding the antidote, it drops back into the world as a for someone else to grab.

Exit:

  • The exit is strict: it does not give you an antidote.
  • You must already have the antidote before the exit will work.
  • If you touch the exit without the antidote, nothing happens.
  • If you touch the exit with the antidote, you score 1 point.
  • You will see: “You have escaped and managed to stay alive.”
  • After escaping, you briefly disappear/freeze and then respawn.

SCORING

Normal frag scoring still applies.

Extra Purge Virus scoring:

  • Escaping with the antidote gives you 1 point.
  • Dying to the virus is a death.
  • Killing a player who has the antidote can force the antidote back into play.

CHAT BOX

What you see:

  • A small [ chat ] area appears above the lower-left HUD.
  • The chat box shows the 5 most recent chat messages.
  • Messages stay visible for about 12 seconds.
  • Team messages are marked with [team].
  • There is no background image behind the chat box.

How to chat:

  • Use normal chat as usual.
  • Use team chat as usual.

PLAYER IDENTIFICATION

When looking at another player:

  • Players carrying the antidote show as “antidote.”
  • Infected players show as “infected.”

PLAYER TIPS

  • If the exit does not work, go find the antidote first.
  • Watch the final 10-second virus warning closely.
  • If someone with the antidote dies, check their death location.
  • Use id to identify antidote carriers and infected.
  • The chat box is temporary, so repeat important calls if teammates miss them.
