Common questions
FAQWhat should I do the moment I spawn in?
Type !Cmds straight away so you know what tools you have available. Then start shooting crates near you to pick up weapons and armor.
Why did my kills disappear?
Kill counts reset 30 minutes after you leave the game, so if you were logged out longer than that, they are gone. Your cash is not affected and will always be there when you return.
Do I need a VIP server to access everything?
Several badges, including Welcome To AshTown and the Factions badge, can only be earned in public servers. VIP servers are recommended for general play, but public servers are necessary for some content.
