Full server rules
Updated on July 2, 2026
The complete rulebook. New player? Start with the noob-friendly summary. Roles are colored the same way as nametags in-game.
Preface
- Not knowing the rules doesn't exempt you from them.
- Report rule-breakers in-game or on Discord; don't over-report.
- Reported players are innocent until shown otherwise by reasonable evidence.
- Staff interpret these rules; their reasonable interpretation is the official one.
- We reserve the right to penalize at our discretion.
- Owning, buying, selling, or promoting cheats or spoofers for this server is itself bannable.
Definitions
| Session | The period between two server restarts (restarts run every 6 hours: 06:00, 12:00, 18:00, 00:00 Pacific) |
|---|---|
| Threat | Active endangerment by another player's behavior; ends when the danger ends |
| Point of interest | Spawns, hospitals, police stations, shops, mechanic shops, banks — places everyone has a legitimate reason to be |
| Innocent | Wanted level 0 |
| Suspect | Wanted level 1–5 stars |
| Bounty | Wanted level 6 stars — can be killed on sight by everyone except medics |
| Cop | A player on the police job |
| Medic | A player on the EMS job |
| Crew | A group registered in the crew system |
| Scripted feature | Anything the server's own systems let you do (bribes, revenges, heists, hits) |
1. Random deathmatch (RDM)
Attacking or killing without a valid reason is not allowed. Valid reasons:
Defense of life
You may kill anyone posing an active threat to you, a friend, or a member of your crew — official or temp: holding or aiming a weapon at you (outside gun stores), shooting your way, trying to stab, ram, or carjack you, or verbally threatening your life. The test: would a reasonable person feel threatened? Threats are short-lived — no acting on stale danger.
Revenge (civilians)
Being attacked, killed, robbed, arrested, or having property stolen or damaged grants one revenge kill on that player within the same session — this mirrors the in-game revenge system. Failed attempts count. Trading kills leaves both sides' revenge intact. You may outsource the kill (hit contract or a friend with proof); doing so spends your revenge.
Defense of property
You may kill players stealing, damaging, or trespassing in your vehicle or property.
Provocation
One kill per session against players who insult you or your crew, spam insulting emotes at you, or blast noise at you outside points of interest.
Competition
You may kill players driving the most-wanted vehicle, joining your heist or robbery uninvited, contesting your store robbery, stealing your kill or target, or squatting a drug spot you're working.
Cops working against you
Suspects (and their accomplices) may kill cops who are chasing, tasing, shooting, or arresting them or their friends, camping a robbery, or closing to rifle range — but never random cops minding their own business ("cop hunting" = fine or ban).
Medics working against you
You may stop a medic actively reviving or healing your enemy or opponent, or closing in to do so. Never random medics. No taking medics hostage.
Bounty
A player with a bounty (six stars) can be killed on sight by anyone except medics.
Consent
Duels, crew wars, and agreed deathmatch void protection for everyone involved.
Unintentional kills
Careless kills can still be fined. Genuine accidents (lag, someone sprinting into your line of fire, human shields) are excused. In car accidents, whoever ignored basic traffic sense is at fault.
Association
Riding along with someone mid-RDM-spree and not bailing makes you a party to it.
2. Cross-teaming
- Civilians can't team with cops or medics outside scripted features — no fighting their battles, no getaway driving for them, no riding along while either of you works.
- Cops can't team with suspects — the scripted bribe is the exception, and bribes stop working once you have a bounty (six stars). No chauffeuring wanted suspects except in custody, no ignoring crimes in front of you, no interfering with another cop's arrest.
- Medics revive and heal everyone by the script's rules — no acting as a private medic for one crew, no getaway driving, no picking sides in fights.
3. Cheating
Mod menus, wallhacks, noclip, health lock, damage modifiers, aim assistance: permanent ban, possible progress reset. Knowingly playing alongside a cheater is also punishable.
Allowed: persistent crosshairs, graphics mods/Reshade, FOV changes, sound packs, simple text/hotkey macros, kill effects. Staff rule on edge cases.
4. Exploiting
No abusing bugs, dupes, money/XP loopholes, animation cancels, wall clips, chat-filter bypasses, or physics glitches. Report exploits in a private ticket; sharing them is as bannable as using them. Attacking or reverse-engineering the server itself: permanent ban.
5. Combat logging
No disconnecting to avoid death, arrest, or punishment. Exceptions: a cheater is killing you, you've been held in custody unreasonably long, or a cop or medic is breaking their own role rules to kill you.
6. Ban evasion
Wait out your ban. Using an alt doubles it.
7. Lying to staff
No lying in reports, appeals, or prize/refund claims — anywhere a staff member is involved.
8. Impersonating staff
No claiming staff status, threatening bans in first person, wearing staff appearances, or using leftover powers. Immediate ban.
9. Advertising
No advertising anything unrelated to F5 Gaming. Mentioning something isn't advertising. Advertising cheats is a ban in all cases.
10. Code of conduct
- Minors: no sexual or obscene interaction with under-18s, period. Permanent ban, no appeal.
- Harm: no real-life threats, doxxing, or DDoS threats — credible ones go to law enforcement.
- Discrimination: no slurs or discrimination by religion, origin, race, sex, orientation, or disability.
- Harassment: no sexual harassment, no wishing death, illness, or suicide on anyone.
- Disruption: no chat flooding, screaming, distorted audio, or blocking areas to grief. Music is fine where the crowd tolerates it.
- Staff respect: don't bait or insult staff who are actively moderating.
- Scamming: honor in-game deals. The server doesn't refund scams.
- Real-money trading: no selling in-game money, items, or accounts for real currency. The official store is the only real-money channel.
