Warning
Staff may interpret or expand upon these rules to maintain community health and fair gameplay.
- Be respectful. Discrimination or harassment of any kind is punishable.
- Do not hack or abuse any in-game glitches, exploits, bugs, or unintended mechanics, nor use illegitimate items created through them. Attempting, facilitating, or sharing such behavior is strictly prohibited and will result in repercussions from Rise Gaming staff. This applies regardless of scale, intent, or whether an advantage is gained. Players must immediately log any encountered issues in the bug-reporting Discord channel.
- No chat spam (text or voice).
- New Life Rule: As a civilian, upon death you lose memory of your prior life. Do not return to the exact death location or attempt to recover gear for 10 minutes or for the event duration.
- BLUFOR, INDEP, and OPFOR must use their faction’s Discord voice channels.
- No metagaming. This includes checking the server player list or player info to determine what faction a player is part of.
- Use typed commands (e.g., "hands up")—not everyone hears voice.
- Use of the Shout mechanic is acceptable.
- No cross-faction transfers of money/gear/vehicles.
- Use buildable items only for valid RP—no trolling.
- Staff reserve the right to determine misuse of buildable items.
- Do not use slingloaded objects as weapons. Players are also not allowed to be inside of a vehicle that is slingloaded.
- No RDM (Random Deathmatching): Only kill when there is valid in-character RP and an immediate, demonstrable lethal threat (e.g., aimed weapon, firing, or imminent vehicle ramming).
- No Combat Logging: Do not respawn or relog to avoid RP consequences.
- No fleeing to safezones: You may not run into safezones during active combat or whilst being chased by an opposing faction.
- Active Combat / Active Chase is defined as firing or being fired upon or being within immediate range (up to 500m) of your opponent in the last 5 minutes.
- No killing or robbing in Safe Zones.
- If you shoot from a no kill zone, you forfeit no kill zone protection for 5 minutes.
- No VDM (Vehicle Deathmatching): You may only use a vehicle to kill if the target poses an immediate lethal threat (e.g., actively shooting at you or intentionally driving to ram you).
- This refers specifically to running people over and not to vehicle weapons.
- No kamikaze or ramming tactics with vehicles, this includes unmanned drones.
- Do not kill visibly unarmed players. If a player takes clear hostile action (reaching for a hidden weapon, attempting to ram, etc) treat them as armed.
- Exception: collisions with ATVs/bikes that cannot reasonably defend.
- Armed aircraft may only target civilians if directly threatened.
- Civilians in armed vehicles are KOS: a vehicle is considered 'armed' if it has mounted weapons.
- Actively robbing another faction’s convoy will make you KOS.
- Entering enemy territory without joint ops = KOS.
- No spawn camping; allow exit routes (leave at least one clear path and reasonable time for players to exit spawn).
- Any weapon or vehicle that uses the artillery computer must be at least 1 km away from a safezone when firing. After firing, it must stay at least 1 km away for 5 minutes after the last shell has landed.

A no-kill zone is defined as within a map area marked by a 'no-kill circle'.

- Do not use Civilian vehicles for hostile actions outside of suicide/car bombings. They are not to be used for combat situations or avoiding detection before an immediate firefight.
