The shadow is cloaked indefinitely and is able to pick off the other ships, but has no shields and can't pick up power-ups. The player to kill the shadow is next to don the cloak and gets 5 frags. The arena itself consists of a densely populated asteroid field circling a large structure. The team with the most frags wins. The first blood of the match becomes the first vampire.
Vampires can spread their disease by killing an uninfected player.
The last player left will score 5 frags, and then all players will be cured of their affliction for the process to start over. Vampires cannot pickup power-ups. Each player's ship is fitted with a 45 second time bomb, the first ship fragged will respawn with their timer ticking down. If the player with the active bomb collides with another player, his bomb will stop ticking and the other payers will start. If a player is destroyed by his bomb, the person who tagged the player will get 2 frags instead of 1.
