    I didn’t like how you had to pick up weapons from the map in the normal modes when I played on a LAN but instagib mode was hella fun. Fragging three people while bunny-hopping into the flag room and fragging two more on the way out is something you just have to experience.

      Yeah, it’s hella fun.

      Xonotic has quite a bit of config options, e.g. it’s possible to spawn with all weapons. But mastering those is a learning curve, compared to the more approachable instagib.

      It’s kind of weird how picking up weapons on the map is a thing that kind of died out with arena shooters. I guess you probably didn’t grow up with those kinds of games?

        Nope, way too young for that. The most boomery shooter I ever played before that is probably Tribes Ascend.

        The mode we played didn’t. I’m sure there are ways to configure this.
