- What can get you banned - 14 September 2026
Following the addition of the “modded lobby” option, I am sharing a clear list of what is bannable. Note that these rules are more of heads up on the general idea, and we will humanly treat edge cases. In general, if you don’t have bad intentions and are willing to change your behavior in problematic situations, you should be fine. If you feel like you’ve been unfairly banned, make sure to open a ticket on our Discord server dedication section : https://discord.com/channels/1182320434482511892/1285016653477711903 CHEATS Is considered cheating : Using external tools to modify your game, in any way.

MODDED LOBBY SETTINGThere is a new “modded lobby” setting, that needs to be enabled when creating a session intended to use mods. Using any modification of the game outside ot these lobbies is bannable.We want to maintain a clean vanilla experience, but we don’t want to restrict people from expressing their creativity through modding. A dedicated tag for modded lobbies is a great middle ground to allowing that, without altering the vanilla experience.Additionally, we are sharing a clear list of what is forbidden and bannable, to ensure no one get unfairly banned over fuzzy and unclear rules : MISCELLANEOUSChanged the item drop behavior when raising your hands. It is now an actual drop, rather than a short throw.Summer theme is no longer the default option. It is still available as a setting under “session rules > map rule > map theme”.Banned 15 cheaters.FIXESFixed themed guns reverting…
