TOPIC: [DEATHRUN] Information Thread

---

The purpose of this topic is to detail general information on several topics such as: the Deathrun gamemode, current features, addons and more.

This topic can be used as a general guide but will not be the master source for all information - as such, if any information in this topic is out of date, please contact a staff member from the list below to have it updated:

Deathrun is a round-based gamemode consistent of two teams: Runners and Deaths.

The objective of the Runners is to reach the end of the map and avoid any traps they may encounter along the way.

Conversely, the objective of the Deaths is to eliminate all Runners before they reach the end of the course.

Make sure your traps count, as you can only use a trap once! Be sure to read the Server Rules before playing.

If you don't like the current map, do not fret, you can rock the vote (rtv) in order to change it. Simply type !rtv in chat and your vote will be cast! In order for the map vote to commence, other players will also have to cast their vote.

You can only rtv once per map.

---

Players may nominate a particular map of their choice by using the !nominate command. Typing !nominate in chat will bring up a menu of all the maps you can select. Once you nominate a map, it will be a choice once all rounds end or when the required number of RTVs is submitted.

---

If you are dead and bored, feeling like you want to train your bhop or even just follow around the runners and deaths? I introduce Ghostmode to you! This is an option to you when you are dead where you can have some fun until the round is over. Simply type !ghost in chat and go explore the map as much as you want! Have fun!

Do note that Ghostmode doesn’t work on every single map currently on the Deathrun Server.

The ZARP (F4) Menu is central hub for various features and information about the server - you can open the ZARP Menu by pressing F4.

The ZARP Menu has several tabs, each containing their own features/information. A list of the tabs are shown below, each with a description of what they do:

• Home

The Home view displays latest news about Deathrun. Each item will display the title, last poster, last post date and a link to the topic on the ZARP forum.


• Unlocks

The Unlocks view displays all unlockable weapons - you can equip a weapon by clicking on its tile. If you are not a high enough level and/or prestige, you won't be able to equip it. If you are unsure what level/prestige you need to be in order to equip a certain weapon, you can check it in the Unlocks view.


• Staff

The Staff view will display all users who currently hold a staff rank on the server; this includes Community Developers, Managers and Owners. Green bar on the left shows the staff is currently online on the server, but if they are not, the bar is red.


• Settings

The Settings view will allow you to toggle client-side settings to fit your liking. You can adjust the following settings: toggle web taunts, draw vape particles, draw auras. Settings can be opened with F1. You can find additional Deathrun settings be pressing F2.

Similar to other ZARP PointShop servers, Deathrun has a level system in which players can level up to unlock special knives (which you can equip through the ZARP Menu) - each level has its own color and title. You can check what prestige/level you are by pressing TAB to view the scoreboard or by pressing C.

In order to level up, you must gain enough XP points which can be done by winning rounds, killing players or choosing it as your Man of the Match award. You will unlock a new weapon every fifth level.

Players who reach the max level can choose to either stay at the max level in that prestige, or start over at level 1 but progress onto the next prestige tier.

You can see the full level list here: LINK

The Pointshop is a custom cosmetics and weapons store where you can purchase items such as player models, vapes, auras, taunts and trails.

Items from the Pointshop can be purchased by using Pointshop diamonds; you can get diamonds by winning rounds. VIPs get access to permanent double diamonds so long as VIP is active on their Steam account.

You can access the Pointshop by pressing F4 in-game where you can browse the available items to buy with the various tabs for each section.

Your points and (most of) your items will be available on other Pointshop Servers, so you won't have to waste your points in buying them again!

The Roll The Dice (RTD) feature lets runners risk their round to gain a special boost.

A runner can type !rtd in chat which will roll the dice and give them a random buff or debuff. The buff or debuff you receive is announced in the chat for everyone to see. You can use the RTD feature once every 90 seconds.
