Overview
The pit is a harsh gamemode where it is free for all, with up to 15 players competing to get 20 points first.
Pit basics
To play pit, you should have a sheilded, fast, and or bulky and powerful bot. Getting in a match is easy, just press E (depending on the selected shorcut) than select Pit.
Unlike the other two modes, you won’t be seeing crazy bots made for fun, but hardcore bots to crush their foes.
Medic based bots will also not appear in pit, and platoons will be separated, so there is no team efforts. If a medic bot is in pit, they will only be able to get killsteals if any kills at all.
*Tip: Pit is free for all, so the lineup will look like as follows.*
Getting points
To get your points in pit, you need to get kills. The basic point amount per kill is one point. The more kills your foe has gotten that life, the more you get for defeating them. This is also bad, because you can lose with 11kills and 5deaths to someone with 9kills and 5deaths, and you lost because they killed you when you had 3 kills in one life, giving them more points.There are several ways of getting kills for points in pit. The most common way to get points is kill stealing, which in the pit, is one of the only ways to acheive victory. Getting kill stolen causes rage quits amoung many players, especially when they are about to win(me). Kill stealing is a better way to get your revenge, whether you kill the person who kill stole you, or kill stealing the person who got the kill first. Often times you might have to killsteal to get points quicker than the leader. Another way is hit the target from surprise and hope to not get killstolen. For this stratigy, I suggest using a radar and radar jammer on your bot. If you have a bulkier bot, you can rush into enimy fire and often come out victorious.
*Tip: killstealing is allowed in pit, and it makes you plan how to get the kill first*
Kill stealing the person you just can’t kill is a great way to take them down, as they being already damaged, are vunralbul, and the kill is almost always yours.
Leaders
The leader is the person who has the most points of everyone in the battle. When a leader, your bot has a yellow firery aroura causing you to have more damge,per,second and a higher top speed.
Often times, the leader is the person you simply can’t kill, or is the person you often lose to. I have learned, to beat them, you have to kill faster, or take advantage of killstealing. There is a leaderboard at the top middle, and your position om the top right. These show you your position and amount of points compared to the top 3.
*Remember: Killing a leader gets you more points, and often may get you enough points to become the leader yourself. Killing the leader doesn’t gaurentee you victory.*
Leadership is key to winning the battle, but if you are not in the lead, keeping up with their increase of points is key to get more rp.
Pit QnA
What do I do if the leader is unkillable by my means?
You have to keep up with their point gain, and possibly you will become the leader, helping you even more.
How do I avoid getting killstolen?
Adding a radar and radar jammer helps other bots not know your whereabouts, but they still may pick up the other bots signal, so be aware.
How can I effectivly kill steal?
Wait until the target to kill is at lower healt, and one shot them if you are a rail, or drive in as and smg and unload, always hoping to get the kill. DON’T KILLSTEAL THE LEADER, unless you’re SURE you’ll get the kill. If the leader ends up getting the kill first, you are as good as dead.
How much rp do I get in the pit?
I have never gotten less than 3 kills, so I don’t know the exact botton, but I’m guessing you can get as low as 10k rp. The maximum I have gotten was 1 million rp with the 2x rp multiplier and a victory, so I imagine you can get up to 2.5 mil rp in a single pit battle.
How can I tell who to kill?
After the battle has started, you may remember who you defeated by chance or force. If a person it was close with doesn’t know you are there, then unload on them ASAP. It they see you first, try doing more damgage, and shooting off their guns.
