Paintball

Paintball is a team-based PvP game where the objective is to defeat the other team in combat using bows and swords.

Each player starts with 3 lives, and the last team standing wins the game!

If a match lasts longer than 12 minutes, it will enter sudden death mode where all players are reduced to 1 life and perpetually given the Glowing effect. After 15 minutes, the match will end.

Item Pickups

Scattered around the map, you will find gold blocks which continuously spawn useful items throughout the game, those being one of the following:

Item	Description	Chance
Spectral Arrow	-	15%
Golden Apple	-	15%
Medkit	Restores 8 hearts.	15%
Flashbang	Splash potion, applies slowness and blindness to target.	15%
Tear Gas	Lingering potion, applies poison and nausea to target.	15%
Smoke Grenade	Lingering potion, applies no effects however blocks vision with a smoke cloud.	15%
Starshot	A legendary bow said to originate from the heavens. One use. Instant kill.	8%

At the start of the game, items will begin spawning every 30 seconds. As kills accumulate, item spawners will "heat up", causing them to spawn items more often.

Any active killstreak will reduce the time between spawns by 0.5 seconds per kill.

Any kill will immediately reduce the time until the next item spawn by 10 seconds.

The minimum time between item spawns is 5 seconds.

Killstreaks

Obtaining killstreaks will give you single use abilities that can be activated at any time by right clicking on the item. These abilities will benefit your entire team.

Item	Description	Killstreak
Spectral Compass	Highlights all enemy players for 20 seconds.	3
Item Sabotage	Use on an item spawner to disable it for 90 seconds.	5

Career Ranks

By playing Paintball, you will gain XP which counts towards advancing your rank. Career Ranks have no effect other than showing how experienced you are at the game.

Action	XP Earned
Playing a game	10
Killing a player	10
Being on the winning team	25
Winning in 1st place	40

To get a 1st place win, you must fulfil the following conditions:

• The game must have at least 4 players

• Your team must win the game

• You must have the most kills out of any player alive at the end of the game

In a tie for kills, the tie is broken by lives, then killstreak, then random if all else is equal.

Ranks

The XP requirement to rank up is calculated according to the following formula:

$$x_{req}=5*\lfloor20*2.5^{n-1}\rfloor$$

where n is the current rank.

The XP required to reach each rank is as follows:

Rank	XP Required	XP Required (Cumulative)
Rookie	0	0
Private	100	100
Corporal	250	350
Sergeant	625	975
Lieutenant	1560	2535
