Common questions
FAQWhat happens to my gear when I die?
Your armor resets all the way back to Leather, the starting tier. The only way to avoid that reset is to use a Gear Saver, which holds your current tier in place.
How many players am I fighting at once?
Each arena holds up to 25 players, and the format is free-for-all, meaning everyone is your opponent. There are no teams.
Why should I bother targeting high-tier players?
Killing a player who is at a higher armor tier grants bonus XP.
Is there a free code I can use right now?
Yes, one working code is currently tracked for this game. Enter it in-game to collect a free gift. Joining the Block PvP group unlocks a second reward separately.
