About this game
Every duel tells a different story
Enter a competitive first person shooter where every duel comes down to skill. Challenge other players in intense 1v1 matches where no round feels the same. At the beginning of each round, both players receive the same randomly selected weapon. Victory depends on your ability to master every weapon and adapt to changing situations on the fly.
Maps are designed with multiple routes and tactical options, giving you the freedom to approach each encounter in your own way. Special items such as grenades, smoke bombs, and toxic gas are limited throughout the match. Once used, they are gone for the rest of the match. Success requires more than accurate aim. Reading your opponent, managing resources, and making the right decisions at the right moment is extremely important.
Looking for something less competitive? Jump into Prop Hunt with friends and experience a completely different side of the game. Disguise yourself as everyday objects, hide in plain sight, and try to fool the seekers in matches of up to six players. Whether you are competing for victory or playing for fun, there is always another match waiting!
KEY FEATURES
Competitive 1v1 Combat
Challenge players in intense one-on-one battles where skill, timing, positioning, and game sense determine the outcome.
Randomized Weapons Every Round
Both players receive the same randomly selected weapon each round. Adapt quickly, master the entire arsenal, and prove your versatility.

Grenades, smoke bombs, and toxic gas canisters do not replenish between rounds. Once used, they're gone for the remainder of the match.

Every map supports different strategies and playstyles. Control key areas, create ambushes, force engagements, or outmaneuver your opponent through clever positioning.
