# Battles

## Battle gameplay

4 characters and an endless amount of zombies take part in a battle.

Characters who happen to be kids are controlled by the players. Zombies are controlled by AI.

When in battle, zombies are your direct enemies. Their goal is to eat you alive, causing maximum health damage.

Punks are your rivals. They can’t directly hurt you, but can use perks against you to distract you in any way possible.

**Main goal in battle** — collect more donuts than your rivals.

Donuts fall out of the dead zombies. Any player can pick them up, not just the one who fired the shot and killed that zombie.

Players carry donuts with them and once their health is critically damaged, all their goodies collected are lost right there and then.

This is why it’s important to save the donuts in special Donut collectors that appear on the map. All donuts are safe there, even if the player was killed.

Each battle is a battle with two. On one hand you have zombies to kill, and on the other, rival kids to compete with.

## Punks abilities

Each hero has 3 main attack techniques:

* Attack with the main weapon — helps to kill zombies. Unlimited shots but you’ll need time to reload.
* SuperAttack — causes extra damage to zombies. You will need batteries to charge the SuperAttack .
* Perk — used against kids. Main purpose is to stop them from collecting donuts.

## Perks

Perk is a unique Donut Punks’ feature. You can’t directly attack your rivals or cause damage but no one is stopping you from using perks — a set of various techniques that affect your opponents.

Each perk is different depending on the character you are playing. Ranging from putting someone to sleep or launching deadly kamikaze-drones! To learn more, head to the characters page!

Perk is considered complete and brings extra Battle Points when it leads to the defeat of the character at whom the perk was used against.

## Battle Items

All gaming loot comes from zombies.

But even if you’ve killed the bastard, it doesn’t mean that you’ll get all the rewards.

All items that have been dropped once the zombie is killed need to be picked up. If you ain’t fast enough, your rivals will be the ones getting all the goodies.

Or, you could be the one snatching all the donuts on the battlefield without firing a shot!

There are 3 types of items that can be picked up.

* **Donuts.** Game’s main currency, and the only way to win. Each zombie has a different donut value.
* **Batteries.** You need those for SuperAttack. One battery only fills one SupperAttack unit. Dropped by Zombie rabbits.
* **Aid kit.** Those look like pills and help with health. Dropped by Zombie nurses.

## Statuses

While in battle certain statuses can be placed on your character

 **Trapped:** | You’d get this status if perk is complete, meaning that zombies got one of the players.
If your character has been affected, you’ll see the name of the player who threw the perk.
 **Leader:** | This status means you have the most donuts out of all. While it’s great news, you are exposed now, as the status is visible to all players. Even on a mini-map! That’s why it’s so easy to track the leader.
If you get Leader status — run!If you see someone else with Leader status — get your perks out and go get them!

## Donut collectors

Those look like pink pipes and serve the purpose of keeping the donuts safe.

Each Donut collector has its own capacity. Once it’s full — it disappears!

Not to worry! Sometime after, Donut collectors will appear again and have the space for all those yummy donuts.

## Battle Summary

Places between players are given according to the number of donuts collected.

1/2So if you collect the most — you are the winner! Second place is cool two. But not the third and fourth. If you get those, you’d be considered a loser.

Rewards for the battle are based on Reputation and Battle Points.

Reputation helps establish your authority, and in return you get awesome rewards once off the battlefield. Your Reputation level depends on which place you got by the end of the battle.

Battle points are added to the battle pass within the Donut Pass. Battle Points are calculated based on how many zombies you’ve killed and number of donuts collected.

# Trophies and Reputation

Your success when it comes to fighting zombies is reflected in Reputation points. You can get them when in battle. The amount of trophies depends on what place you got by the end of the battle. The better the result, the higher the Reputation.

You can check the Reputation level on the Trophy screen in the main menu of the game. Here you can also get all the trophies you are entitled to. By working on your Reputation, you can unlock new characters and game modes, receive donuts and other rewards.

# Donut Pass

Donut Pass has a set of certain goals, by completing which you get awesome rewards.

Donut Pass renews every month, offering players new cool rewards.

Donut Pass rewards are given for collected Battle Points — points that you get in battles.

There are two types of battle passes: Free Pass (which is actually free!) and Donut Pass. Both passes are getting completed at the same time, so by purchasing the Donut Pass, you can immediately collect all the rewards that you haven't collected yet.

# Vault

A Vault is used to store Donuts and Battle Points, which you receive from battles.

If a Vault is empty, you won’t be able to receive Donuts and Battle Points in battles. But at the same time, you will continue to receive trophies.

Fortunately, Vault storage is constantly refilled — it usually takes a couple of hours. Go back when the Vault is refilled to collect Donuts and Battle Points in battles again.

## Backpacks

Backpacks are a set of rewards from Donut Pass. Each backpack is unique and its awesomeness depends on what’s inside. You can only find out what is in it, once you open it!

Typically you’ll find donuts, character’s cards, or custom items.
