Bosses & Event Rules

Epic custom encounters await. Read the mechanics and claiming rules carefully to avoid being punished by the server.

The Big Flaming Bear (BFB)

The Legend awakens! A massive raid boss with 18 MILLION health, custom loot, and anti-snipe mechanics.

  • Spawn Conditions: Spawns only at night (20:00 - 06:00). Rotates dynamic locations.
  • Claiming is Mandatory: You MUST use !claimbfb within 1500m to deal damage. Shooting without claiming heals the boss!
  • Team Play: Up to 4 players. Use !teambfb to join a claimed raid. Limit 3 claims per restart.
  • Mechanics: Survive 3 waves of minions. Beware the Burn Aura and Heat Waves. Melee hits cause massive fling damage.
  • Anti-Sniper: Sniping from 150m+ without immunity gear results in instant lightning strikes.
  • Loot Limits: Players can only claim ONE Boss Key per real-life month. (Scoreboard wipes monthly).

The Dragon Boss

A brand-new, fully custom Dragon Event with strict anti-griefing systems.

  • Claiming: Look at a player (within 5m) and type !teamd to invite. Leader types !claimd. Max 4 players per team.
  • Limits: Team Leaders are limited to a max of 3 claims per day.
  • Anti-Grief/Snipe (150m Radius): Unclaimed intruders in the radius who attack the Dragon will be set on fire, gear damaged, and frozen for 10 minutes. Sniping from outside the radius continuously burns you alive.
  • Disconnect Grace: If the Leader crashes, they have exactly 5 minutes to reconnect before the claim is wiped.

Airdrop Mechanics

Dynamic loot drops contested by the server. Coordinate and fight.

  • Claiming: Type !claimad to lead, or !teamad to join a squad (Max 4). You must be playing for 5+ mins to claim.
  • Daily Limits: Every player is strictly limited to 2 Airdrop Claims per real-world day.
  • The Forcefield: Unclaimed intruders within 3 meters of a claimed crate are thrown back 60 meters.
  • The Ultra Punishment: Backing out (!wuss or !chicken) burns your daily token. If a Leader chickens out, the drop is canceled, the whole team loses their token, and the cowardice is globally broadcasted!
