The three game modes
TableThe game rotates through three modes across matches. Team Deathmatch is the straightforward team-vs-team fight. Infection flips the objective so spreading matters more than just eliminating. Kill Confirmed adds a collection step after each elimination, meaning you have to pick up orbs to actually score.
| Team Deathmatch | defeat the opposing team to win |
| Infection | infect every remaining player to win |
| Kill Confirmed | eliminate enemies and collect their orbs to reach the required count first |
Spending coins on mystery boxes
TipsEvery coin you earn from eliminations and match wins can go straight into mystery boxes. Opening a box gives you a random item that can improve your combat power. Because coins come from regular gameplay, free-to-play players can unlock items and gear without spending anything extra.
- Coins from kills and wins are the same currency used for mystery boxes
- Mystery boxes contain items and gear that strengthen your loadout
- There is no need to wait — open a box any time you have enough coins

Common questions
FAQHow do I know which game mode is running?
Modes rotate from match to match, so the mode changes each time a new game starts.
Can I get good items without spending Robux?
Yes. Coins come entirely from playing — eliminating enemies and winning matches — and those same coins are what you use to open mystery boxes. Every mode and every item is accessible through normal gameplay.
Does winning the match give more coins than just getting kills?
Yes. You earn coins for individual eliminations, and winning the match adds extra coins on top of that.
