Revive

**Run Speed** | 110%

Revive is a special weapon (aka ability) allowing players to revive fallen teammates anywhere. In ZBR, players may still revive a duo if they take their walkie talkie to a radar station; however this is limited to a player's duo partner and the availability of radar stations. This support ability allows players to revive anyone regardless of duo status.

Despite the description, once 180 seconds have passed on the timer, the ability does not become active until another minute has passed. It has the longest cooldown of any ability, and rightly so due to its highly sought effects.

The ability was introduced in v478 (the Halloween 2022 Event update), and has shown in both Zombie Battle Royale and Zombie Dead City modes since. It is considered a must-have for learned players who wish to support their less experienced allies. The players carrying this ability can typically win without the use of abilities, and so the loss of one benefiting them is of low concern—they are there to help carry others through the fight. An alternative view to the ability is one of teamwork, where a small group of players may view the benefit of working as a group as a larger benefit than the temporary effects given from other abilities. This encourages the group to each carry the ability so that they may quickly strengthen their forces if one of them were to fall; to lose one player is to lose significant firepower.

Being a special weapon with instant effect, no particle effect is displayed on or around the player.

Imperial Officer Uniform

Imperial Officer in the Starfleet

Starting as the German Uniform, the outfit originated from the Synty Simple Military asset pack. It resembled the SS uniform used by German soldiers in Nazi Germany during WWII. It was accidentally released in 2017 through crates. Developer Silk Spider had to edit the uniform to reduce the Nazi referencing.

The finished product was made to resemble Imperial Officer uniforms from Star Wars—more specifically the standard-issue greenish-grey uniform of the starfleet officers.

From the accident, the uniforms would remain obtainable from the Uniform Crate until the removal of said crate. It has been long forgotten about, however may be obtained through special crates.

Cupid (as its community name) was originally sold for 2500  in the 2020 Valentine's Day event. It acted as the counterpart to the Skull Warrior in a theme of good vs evil. It reused the angel wings seen for the Valentine's Day event prior while adding a shirtless, muscular uniform adorned with bracers, sandals, and a loincloth. A matching toga was included to connect up with the loincloth. A golden laurel wreath was also bundled with the outfit. The community at the time came to refer to this outfit as the "[GOD] outfit"—a uniform of sorts that members of [GOD] would wear.

Original shop bannerThe following year, 2021, the WB economy had entered the second generation with a revised shop, a rarity system, and recalculated coin prices. Cupid would return this Valentine's Day period with its new official name of "Cherub Champ" with a price of 600  to its name. There was discussion later into the year of a possibility for Cherub Champ to act as the owner of Pink Glowing Eyes. This was kept in consideration leading into 2022, but did not come to fruition.

## Trivia

* A portion of the community considers the Cherub Champ to be the [GOD] uniform

The Cyborg Biker was available for purchase in the store during the Area 15 event. It came with three different skin variants of the head which on one side shows an exposed cyborg skull. It also came with three skin variants of the biker outfit and red glowing eyes. Unlike the other glowing eyes, red glowing eyes were two separate items; one for each eye, so you can choose to have one or both eyes glowing.

Following the market rebalance, it was resold as 'Cyber' for 400 coins on its own, and later with the Red Glowing Eyes items as 'Cyborg (Triggered)' for 1000 coins.

Because Cyborg is designed to have half of the robotic head exposed, the Red Glowing Eyes were split into two separate items. They are the only eyes to be separate because of this, and allow players the option of having the full eye experience still, while allowing the Cyborg Biker to be properly dressed with only one eye.

Gas Mask

The Gas Mask is a face cosmetic that completely covers the face. It features orange lenses over the eyes with two pupils and eyebrows baked in, and a gas filter hanging down off of the face. The Gas Mask is obtained from gear crates, which have since been removed. Since the lenses of the mask aren't translucent, but rather orange squares with eyes and eyebrows baked on, glowing eyes can't be seen.

It is similar in design to the unreleased Gas Mask .

The *Items* tab in the player menu displays the Gas Mask as the example cosmetic.
APC

The Armored Personnel Carrier, or APC, is a type of vehicle that can only be found in Classic Mode. There are three types of APCs, but they're all functionally identical. They all have fast speed, are perfect for getting around the maps, and are equipped with a machine gun that is effective against both enemy players and vehicles. They can hold multiple passengers and are meant for transporting players quickly to parts of the map and providing fire support for infantry.

## Controls

Use the `W` key to move forward, `S` key to move back, and `A`/`D` to turn left and right. Pressing `F` allows a player to enter/exit a vehicle. Holding space activates the handbrake which slows the APC down a little but allows for sharp turns as well as allowing the APC to break on slopes without sliding.

## APC Level 1

This APC has a boxy shape and resembles a Humvee, a very common military vehicle used in the late Cold War to the present day. Its body is a box with a sloping hood and a machine gun on top. It can found on the Area 15 Base, Desert, Kitchen, and Temple maps; the APC Level 1 used to be found on the Escape map. This is the most commonly found vehicle in the game.

## APC Level 2

    Shorter and higher than the APC Level 1, the APC Level 2 is equipped with a machine gun attached in a way that resembles a BRDM. It most resembles a T17E1 Staghound. Its turret is centered near the front of the body. This APC can be found on the Northwest and Heist maps.

APC Level 2 with full customization (front left view)APC Level 2 with full customization (back right view)
## APC Level 3

    This APC closely resembles an LAV-25 or a Stryker. Like the APC Level 2, the machine gun is attached to a rotating turret; it has the sharpest turning radius out of every other APC when the handbrake is held. However, unlike the APC Level 2, the APC Level 3 has its turret centered towards the back of the hull. It is found exclusively on the Pacific map.

Carbon Fiber Armor

Expensive, high-tech armor

This outfit was released during the Area 15 event. The *Carbon Fiber Armor*, or simply *Carbon Fiber*, is an outfit was available for purchase in the store during the event for 2500 coins. It came with a head, skin, and four separate armor item pieces. The pieces consisted of leg armor, breastplate and back armor, waist armor, and arm armor. These pieces can be added to any character and even separately if you wish.

After the market rebalance, it was sold for 1000 coins.

Ponytail

The ponytail item was given to all steam users during the Mother's Day (2019) and Mother's Day (2020) events. It came in six different colors including brown, pink, white, yellow, black, and red.

## Trivia

* There was previously a bug that prevented players from equipping a hat item if they were wearing the light brown Ponytail

### Alternate Colors

Laser Trip Mine

The Laser Trip Mine is an explosive weapon for the fifth slot in the game menu that was released on February 18, 2022. It was the first release of three weapons announced by Joja15 for the Grenade Slot, on February 11, 2022.

## Overview

The Laser Trip Mine is one of the selectable grenade types for the grenade slot. Trip Mines can be placed on any solid surface within the player's range. Once placed, the mine takes three seconds to deploy; completion of which is shown by a laser that projects from the mine. This laser only extends as far as the blast radius; 75 feet — damage dealt starting from 490 at the epicenter and ramping down linearly to 0.

Players may only have two Trip Mines deployed at a time. If a player attempts to place a third mine, it will replace the first mine placed.

Mines placed by your teammates will display with a green laser, while mines placed by you and enemy trip mines will be displayed as red. These lasers signify which ones you can and can't trigger (green are safe, red are unsafe). It is advisable to remember where your mines are to avoid removing them, believing them to belong to enemies and therefore rendering your mines pointless. In addition to tripping the laser on mines, you can set them off with explosives or by shooting them directly.

## Design

The Mine resembles an anti-vehicle/player mine and is an olive green color. On one side there's a small pick-up handle and in the center a grey spot where the laser emits from.

## Use in-game

The Mine works particularly well in close-quarters, such as in the streets of Cologne, inside the airport towers on Area 15 Base, the escalators of Office, and so on. One of the primary uses of the weapon is to block of routes for the enemy; when doing so, it should be placed in a spot that makes it hard for the enemy to get around. This is especially useful for maps with APCS and Tanks, as these have a lot less mobility compared to a player's mobility, and can be even more immobilised using Mines. Another thing to keep in mind is that enemy mines can be safely detonated at a distance by shooting them; to prevent the enemy from doing this, place the mine in a spot where either they can't get a shot on it at all or cannot do so safely.

## How to get around them

Mines can completely block off routes on maps, forcing you to go around, so it best know other ways to get by it. The first way is to safely detonate it a a distance by shooting it; if you shoot at it while standing too close, the mine will kill you when it explodes. Another way to do this is to use and explosive weapon or a Grenade to safely detonate it if you can't get a shot on it. Weapons like the RPG and Grenade Launcher work well for this, but the Frag Grenade and Smoke Grenade can be also used as well. Once again, don't be too close or it will kill you. The final way to get around is to try to jump over it if it's placed low. You can crouch or walk under if it's placed a bit high. If none of these option work, you'll just have to find an alternate route.
Rat Outfit

The Rat Outfit was available during the Lunar New Year 2020 event. By playing the game It gave the players a long rat tail that would extend out of their backside, a rat nose that, similar to the carrot nose, came out of the players' face, as well as the ears would appear out of the top of the player's head, unlike the other ear items in the game.

Capture Point

This game mode was released with v165 on June 8, 2018. It has been changed as of v475 on August 5, 2022.

## Rules

A capture point is placed somewhere on the map—these are identifiable by a flag pole within a circular zone. Teams fight to capture the point by standing within the zone around the flag pole; a point takes 5 seconds to capture. A flag signifies the state of the capture point. Once fully raised, the capture point will earn that team one point every 3 seconds it is raised. Leaving a capture point or being outnumbered by enemies will result in the flag lowering and points no longer being awarded.

There are two timers. One is the overall time left in the round, and the other is the timer for capture point switches. Capture points change location every 60 seconds. The possible locations they may spawn in are influenced by the score (it will spawn closer to the losing side if there is a clear victory for one side).

This game mode is available on the following maps: Southwest, Remagen, City Point, Somme, Moonbase, Area 15 Base, Skull Island, Kitchen, Zen, Cologne, and Tomb.

## Legacy Capture Point (pre-v475 Aug 25, 2022)

Flag poles are placed on various parts of the map. Teams fight to take control of each point by standing within the circle surrounding each flag pole. Upon entering a circle with only a pole and no flag, a flag appears and is raised steadily higher, until it either reaches the top of the flag pole, or stops due to no one being in the circle. Once a team has fully raised a flag, the newly captured capture point will begin to earn them points, at a rate of one point every 3 seconds. The more players in the capture point circle from a team the faster the flag is raised, or if it has already been raised—even partially—by the opposing team, lowered. No matter which team you are on, a flag raised by your team will appear green, and a flag raised by the enemy team will appear red. A round immediately ends if one team has a lead over of 250 points on the opposing team.

Escape

Escape is a dark and gloomy map that released in v128 (March 5, 2018). It stands out to other maps by being a rare nighttime map, and for being one of the first maps added to *War Brokers*. It is roughly based on the movie "Escape From New York".

## **Layout**

Escape is a small outdoor map. A recent update to the atmosphere made it foggy and dark, giving an apocalyptic vibe to the already destroyed city. There are two large walls, each one separating its respective base from the center part of the map. In each corner of the map there is a tall watchtower that provides a perch for snipers. Inside the left base, there is a rundown city block with smashed and bordered up buildings. On the right base, you will find an old motel and a small section of city. The center features tall buildings and a hospital, as well as some smaller buildings.

## **Strategies**

Escape, much like City Point, is both a CQC and sniping map. On the ground, intense CQC battles rage and players run from one end of the map to the other. There is always a large and heated battle on the rooftop of the hospital. The team who controls the hospital roof, has the ultimate sniping advantage, but they have to defend it with their lives. The tall buildings around the hospital usually hide a sniper who is eliminating the enemy from the hospital rooftop, while others parachute onto it to engage in CQC fights. On the ground, players try to invade the enemy base to spawn kill.

Escape during the day.A questionable statue.
## Trivia

* This map used to have vehicles, but they were later removed, probably because the map was too cramped.
* There are blank mannequins inside of the towers, which snipers often confuse for the enemy due to their silhouette and the map's low visibility.
Dwarf Dungeon

Dwarf Dungeon was one of the Competitive Mode maps, consequently added to 4v4 mode following the mode's removal. It was released during the Suit-Up event. It takes place in a medieval fantasy-style dungeon. Similar to Hangar, Dungeon is a small map; combat is mostly close quarters and fast-paced. Unlike the other maps in the mode, Dungeon isn't made up by a single play area, but rather split across a series of square rooms that span two floors and are connected by a web of hallways and ladders. The two spawns are not across from each other but are in opposite rooms.

## Trivia

* Dwarf Dungeon was referred to as 'The Dungeon' on release

Getting Better FPS

The following guide is about how to get better FPS on War Brokers.

One of the most effective ways of getting better FPS is to turn off VSYNC, which can be seen on the right.

Disabling graphical effects such as Reflections, Tone Mapping, Antialiasing, Dynamic Lights and Ambient Occlusion can help, however this will inevitably make the game look worse.
Area 15 Bunker

A map that came with the Area 15 Event.

## **Layout**

This map is intended to be a continuation of the Area 15 Base. It, like Office and Tomb, has a few main rooms with long intertwining hallways. The main room is a large indoor hangar with a UFO in the middle. Around the ceiling there are catwalks, all of them connect with multiple exits/entrances. One exit leads into a shooting range with targets, a mini bunker, and an alien gun. This has an exit into sleeping quarters and an armory. One hallway is a prison hallway with jails cells, this hallway has an entrance to a medical ward. These are the main spots on the map. The rest are hallways that all lead to these spots, or to rooms that would exit into the Area 15 Base (but don't).

## **Strategies**

This map is meant for CQC only. Like the other Area 15 map, there is a Guards team and a Raiders team. The Guards spawn in the UFO hanger, while the Raiders spawn in the different entrance rooms around the base. Setting up tripmines in unsuspected locations can catch any players walking through them off-guard. Cooked grenades can be utilized in CQC as well. The intensity of the battles on this map is high. Most frequently, the SMG and minigun are used to destroy enemies as you run into them around the bunker, or to camp doorways and slaughter enemies as they come down the narrow hallways. The best way to win on this map is to shoot and move faster than your enemies because there is no cover and anyone can sneak up on you.

## Easter Eggs

The developer, Rocky Balboa was the main character from this event's storyline. He can be found in one of the cells. The medical ward features an Alien on a dissection table. There is also a window that looks out onto an outer space expanse, though the bunker is seemingly underground.

Northwest

## **Layout**

Northwest is a Russian airport and nuclear power plant with a train station and a small town, all surrounded by a ring of high, snowy mountains. One team spawns at the airport, the main building of which can be climbed. The airport complex includes a runway, a number of large hangars, and a carpark. Going straight forward out of the airport, three small mountains can be climbed up and over to get to the nuclear power plant. Near the airport carpark, there is a road that is lined with shops, stores, and other small buildings. The nuclear power plant features a train station and train yard, as well as two nuclear reactors and a large warehouse. There is also a large hill to the side of the power plant. Running down the middle of the map is a road, with tunnels at either end.

## **Strategies**

    This map's battles will either be sniper-based or CQC-based depending on the players. The tall buildings and hills provide overlook positions for people to snipe at each other. The flat and open areas in the airport and power plant are good CQC conditions. Both teams get a Helicopter Level-2, a Fin-1 Fighter Jet, an APC Level-2, and a Tank Level-2, (all being Level 2) so a vehicle-filled battle is in store. There isn't one specific type of combat this map is good for, so try to see what others are doing and go off of that.

## Trivia

* Northwest originally had no snow, this was changed April 18, 2018.
* The city area has a JoJa’s Pizza Easter Egg.

Ammo (Ability)

**Run Speed** | 110%

> *Once activated, you and anyone within 15 meters will not consume ammo while the ability is active. Lasts 90 seconds. Available again three minutes after previous usage.*
>
>

Ammo is an ability that allows players to fire their weapons nonstop; ammo is not consumed while the effect is active. At least one bullet/ammunition type is required for the weapon in use to fire. The ability does not fill in for the lack of ammunition a player may have. Despite its description the ability actually takes 90 seconds to recharge.

The ability was introduced in v478 (the Halloween 2022 Event update), and has shown in both Zombie Battle Royale and Zombie Dead City modes since. It is one of the more popular abilities, especially in the former mode where large swarms of enemies meet the player towards the end of the round. As long as the player has ammunition on hand for the weapon they are using, this ability will fire nonstop during the ability's active time. By not consuming the ammunition, weapons in use will never need to reload. Fast firing weapons like the Sub-Machine Gun are popular weapons to pair with the ability. It gives players flexibility to use weapons with low capacity that grant fast movement. The effect applies to explosives (item slot 5) as well.

This is a good ability to help players in a pinch, as well as for heavy attackers looking to deal large damage in a short time. As the effects benefit everyone around the player, the ability is good for support on top of being good for the owner of the ability.

Ammo produces a **blue circle aura** effect while active—only visible to other players.

Ammo ability held POVAmmo's effect when active (v498)
## Trivia

* v498 changed the ability to include others in the effects if they were within 30m of the player
* v499 nerfed the range of the effect to 15m
* Before v498 updated the ability, Ammo would last 45 seconds only for the person using it and then need a 2min recharge. Ammo produced a **green particle** effect while active.

Air Strike II

Base DMG
  Turret
  Land

> *Call in an air strike on a point. Available again two minutes after previous usage.*
>
>

Air Strike II (a non-official name used to distinguish from the Air Strike) is a special weapon (aka ability) that similar to the regular Air Strike in Classic allows players to call down an air strike on a selected region. Instead of using once per 10 minutes (once per round), it can be used every two minutes. This is an especially powerful method of clearing out large swarms of enemies.

The ability was introduced in v478 (the Halloween 2022 Event update), and has shown in both Zombie Battle Royale and Zombie Dead City modes since. It is not a popular option due to its similarity to the regular Air Strike in Classic; players would rather try something more new and limited in availability.

Being a special weapon with instant effect, no particle effect was displayed on or around the player.

Easter Hunt 2019

This event introduced a revolutionary event idea.

## Event

This event took place around easter and included two outfits. A pink bunny suit, and a yellow chick suit. In order to get the bunny, a player had to kill another player who was wearing the full pink bunny set. This would grant an easter crate which would give a part of one of the sets. This is the first time an event has worked like that.
Crackdown Brothers

The *Crackdown Brothers* are three variants to the original Nutcracker that were sold for 750 coins each during Christmas in 2021. This was interesting considering the original was worth 800 coins following the market rebalance. This price however was later fixed, raising it up to the appropriate 800 coins in Christmas of 2022.

These outfits include the same cosmetics as the standard red Nutcracker, but change the skin to a different color (in a slightly blurrier resolution): Black, Blue, and Green.

Wait, what?

The Briefcase that acts as the objective in the Package Drop mode is a weapon. It is a very peculiar weapon though as players may pick it up and drop it as they wish. Players can't control it through means like clicking to fire it or swing it. It is programmed as a weapon mostly as a means for players to pick it up and give you properties such as running speed; however, it does do damage to players.

It is the only weapon players have access to that can kill everyone, no matter which team they are on. It does not credit a kill to players, but will count it as a self-destruct.

## A Ticking Time Bomb

The Briefcase has a 2 minute timer on it. This stops players from placing it in hard to reach areas and camping it—or in cases like Temple, taking it to the hidden tomb and leaving it there where no average player will ever find it. If a player leaves it unattended at any given moment for 1 minute, it will disappear and a new one will drop. If a player holds onto it too long or drops it every now and then for periods less than 1 minutes, then the 2 minute timer will tick over and begin a 20 second countdown with beeping before it blows up.

Beeping occurs once per second in the first 10 seconds. The final 10 seconds will increase to two beeps per second. This sound resembles the sound heard when deploying a Laser Trip Mine. The Briefcase has a blast radius of ~4.6m with enough damage to instantly kill those in the blast's epicenter. If a player is holding it at the time it detonates, then only the player holding onto the case will be killed; a case must be dropped to damage any other players.
Criss Cross

*Criss Cross* is a Speed/4v4 map in the paintball series. The ground is covered in passages surrounded by triangular walls. As the name indicates, these passageways run diagonally though the map and meet in the middle with a raised platform. There are also towers in each corner of the map.

## Strategies

This map is good for sniping and close combat. While the AR or AK are good for close quarters combat, the SMGs and VSS excel in this domain. For sniping, the Hunting Rifle and Sniper Rifle are good to use and of course you can't go wrong with the .50 Cal.
New Frontier 2020

This event took place in September of 2020. It was set around the Wild West theme of the Frontier map. With the event came a new skin and the return of three older ones. The Frontiersman, Mexican-American Soldier, Bad Bandit, and Good Cowboy were all available for purchase in the store. The Flag Bandana returned as a Steam exclusive as well.
Nutcracker / Crackdown

Soldiers of the winter wonderland

REDy or not, here it comes

The Nutcracker (or Crackdown) is an outfit of a uniformed soldier with a sword, modeled after the nutcracker toys seen sold during the Christmas season.

## Enemy in Christmas Events

Nutcrackers were featured in Holiday Royale in 2019 as an enemy variant that could pick up weapons and items. In 2019 It would only use a Pistol against players. In 2020 the Nutcrackers kept their Pistol in their hands, but would switch to the RPG when a player came within range. The RPG would be seen in the new Christmas ZDC in 2021 as its primary weapon as well, cementing it as its signature weapon for all Christmas events.

## History of Sale

The Nutcracker was originally available during the Holiday Event 2019 for 1900 coins.

Come 2020, it was given a resale in the new in-game store. As this was the period during which the new store was being properly integrated and the market was undergoing a rebalance, the outfit was noticeably expensive when compared to other prices in current times. The outfit sold for 1500 coins as a Legendary rarity as a part of the "Jolly Yuletide collection".

Following the market rebalance, it was priced at 800 coins for Christmas 2021 under the name "Crackdown".

Christmas 2022 would instead see Crackdown sold in a triggered form with Red Glowing Eyes, and listed as "Crackdown - Red" to help differentiate it from its Crackdown brothers (black, blue, and green variants of the standard red uniform). Its sale price was 1400 coins.

Battle Royale Map

## Item Spawn Zones

Item spawns may seem random, but they are all placed beforehand. Here is a look at the item spawn boxes in Skywatch base.

The Battle Royale Map is the map used for Battle Royale and Zombie Royale. It is 4096 meters long by 4096 meters wide, making it the largest map to date, being several times bigger than every other map in the game combined.

This map is huge compared to all the other maps. The map itself consists of many separately themed areas, such as the stadium, the space center, the port, and the metro airport. There are also many kinds of military bases, as well as industrial areas. The different areas are linked by roads and rivers. There are mountains on the outside of the map and a range in the middle, cutting off a third of the map. Most of the locations are very straight forward and easy to explore. Around the map, there are Radio Shacks where there are antennas and a building as well as a terminal. The terminal is used by holding down F. When used, a typing sound is heard and after 5 seconds, it reveals all enemies near the player on the map for a few seconds or revives your partner in Duos. Inside buildings in major zones are crates that can be opened for better loot.

## Area 15

The Area 15 is located in the North-north-west part of the BR map. It is also between two huge mountains, which, where you can easily get sniped from so: Watch out! The loot is spread all over the ground near the plane, but you will also find much loot in the small houses next to the big hall.

## Trivia

* There is a downed Level 0 Helicopter near the train station that guarantees at least one piece of heavy armor.
* Del Gato houses a Curl Up and Dye Salon.
* Del Gato is mentioned in the Pacific map, where a large sign over the entrance of the center road shows that it is 29 km away.
* At the transmission tower near the downed helicopter, there is a small tombstone.

Knife

Base DMG
  Turret
  Land

The Knife is one of seven melee weapons.

## About the Knife

The Knife is a given weapon in Classic, it is in the 4th weapon slot. The Knife can insta-kill someone if the player stabs an enemy from behind; three stabs from the front would kill a player. It provides a few extra meters of reach than fists do and has no ammo or durability. In Battle Royale, Knives can be picked up and then proceed to act like they do in Classic. The player cannot hold multiple knives. When viewed by another player, the knife appears bloodied.

## Design

The Knife has a white handle with black on the bottom end, and where the handle meets the blade. The handle has an indent in the middle. The blade is grey and ends in a sharp point, one side is straight and the other curves into the point at the top.

## Trivia

* On the official War Brokers statistics page, the Knife's attachments are listed as Stealth, Biceps, and Courage.
* The Knife animation is the same as the Fist animation.
* The Knife doesn't do damage to armor in Battle Royale.
* Despite wearing armor the Knife still does the same damage as not wearing armor.
* The Knife has 632 Tris (triangles) in the model.
* When the Knife was first released, it did 50 Damage.
* The Knife used to have a faster swing rate.
* The Knife used to have the sharp side directed away from the player, which got changed that the sharp side now is directed to the player.

Christmas Tank

Equipped cosmetic on Tank Lvl-1

The Christmas Tank is a special gear for the Tank Lvl-1. It is used to decorate the tank escorted during Christmas ZDC. Sleigh bells can be heard from the tank whenever the gear is equipped.

It is a cosmetic likely to never release as it was not intended to serve as a player cosmetic; while the cosmetic does exist, it is unreleased and will continue to remain so for the foreseeable future. As it isn't a player cosmetic, it has no thumbnail icon.

Team Deathmatch

The Team Deathmatch pitches two evenly-matched teams against each other. The only goal is to kill as many of the other team as possible in the allotted time, and to not let them kill you.

## Tips

1. Stay together
2. Jump and weave to avoid enemy fire
3. Keep to the edges of the map (avoid being assassinated with a shovel or out-flanked)
4. For player matches, try use Discord voice chat
5. Raw skill will only take you so far, you are part of a team here, use that to your advantage! (Even if they are just bait ;) )

## Strategies

### Turtle

Stay near your home spawn point, let's you get back into the match quicker

* **Benefits**
	+ Quicker return to the battle
* **Drawbacks**
	+ You spawn without a full clip so unless you can reload quickly, you will be using a Shovel
	+ Enemy has the potential to earn more kills in a shorter period of time because if you kill them it takes much longer for them to return to the battle area

### Aggressive/Spawn Camp

Push the enemy back to their spawn point and try to kill them as they spawn

* **Benefits**
	+ Potential for quick kill points
	+ Very fast-paced, you need to be on the ball with everything (especially your ammo use!)

* **Drawbacks**
	+ Slow return to the battle if you die

### Bottle Neck

Find a funnel area on a map that the enemy mainly goes through and control that area (crop farms and surround the area, control the high ground)

* **Benefits**
	+ Median between too long between death and being back in the battle
* **Drawbacks**
	+ There aren't any true bottle necks, there are ways to flank nearly every situation so you have to be prepared and have situational awareness

Christmas Sweater

The Christmas Sweater was available during the Holiday Event 2019 for 1300 coins in the store. The image on the sweater is based off the loldude meme (based on a picture that was posted on Discord).

The image the sweater was based off of
Following the market rebalance, it was resold during Christmas 2021 for 100 coins without the Santa hat. Players would need to buy the hat separate for 200 coins to complete the outfit. While a 100 coin price marks it as the cheapest outfit in the game, the full outfit includes the Santa hat, putting this at 300 coins by technicality and therefore not the cheapest.

Experience

## Overview

**Experience** is the leveling system of War Brokers. It is a way to keep track of how long a player has been playing the game.

## Receiving Experience

While players do not earn any kills for assists, they do in fact earn experience for them. Getting a kill streak will also quickly increase the amount of experience a player can earn (an additional 20 XP to the yield up to a cap of 200 XP total experience yield). This makes high kill streaks the fastest way to earn experience in the game. A kill streak of 10 kills will award the player with 1,280 XP while 10 individual kills would only earn the player 400 XP. Once a player has hit the kill streak XP bonus cap, a player will be earning 500% experience per kill.

A varying amount of experience is rewarded for the following things:

## Leveling Up

When a player reaches a certain amount of experience, they level up. Leveling up awards the player 50 Coins (up to level 100). Below is a table of the experience required to reach each level up until level 23. From level 24 (250,000xp) up, players will need 25,000 XP experience per level.

Biker

The Biker was available during the First Anniversary event for money. It has never been resold, making it one of the rarer outfits in the game.
A cyborg version of the Biker was released in the Raid Area 15 event a year later as the Cyborg Biker. This cyborg version used the same base skin but had a different head paired with the Red Glowing Eyes accessories. Since the Cyborg Biker has been sold multiple times, the skin itself in the Biker outfit it not particularly rare, but rather the biker head has high rarity.

It is unlikely that the outfit will be brought into the store for another appearance.

## Trivia

* Biker is so old that the store wasn't implemented yet, being one of the few cosmetics that has never held a coin price or been given some other form of obtaining
* Biker's head is only obtainable from special crates
