FAQ

Here are some frequently asked questions that we get asked by new players, the most common one have been answered here to help you.

• "Why isn't my Mic working?"

  • Head into your Settings, Voice Chat - Configure your input and output devices to your liking. If this still isn't working then choose to "Restore Defaults" which is located at the bottom of the Voice Chat settings.

• "Can I get a revive please?"

  • If you were killed due to bug then you can ask an Admin or Staff member for a revive. This can be done through the following command: /calladmin <reason> but if this was not the case then you will not be able to get a revive. Please pay the fee to respawn at the hospital or alert the EMS with the on-screen prompt.
