![]() ![]() ![]() Almost every area of the game has been tweaked, tuned, or transform, from its levels, graphics, and characters models through to the “bots” you can play against offline. The full release announcement offers a comprehensive, blow-by-blow, nut-and-bolt overview of everything new. “There’s been thousands of commits since 0.8.2 refined gameplay, new and updated maps and models, new sound effects, more dangerous bots, new HUD and menu features, more translations, better infrastructure, too many fixes to count, and much more.”Īnd the summary you’ve just read is a serious understatement. So, I figured I’d make an exception and mention it. It’s a very substantive update for this totally-FOSS game (licensed under GP元), as the team note in their release announcement. Now, I don’t tend to cover gaming too often because a) my buddy Liam does it so much better over on Gaming on Linux, and b) I’m more of a console gamer than a PC gamer (I know, I’m the worst).īut a new version of open source first-person shooter Xonotic is out.

Statistics and Betting Advice for Xonotic ![]() They are also set on a timer (as are the weapons,) so good players often keep track of how long until either orb will spawn in again. These orbs are located in the same spot every time a map is played, so players have a good understanding of where they are and when they should pick them up. The 100 health and 100 armor orbs are donned the “mega health” and “mega armor” bonuses and there is only one per map. The more health an orb gives you, the bigger it is and the fewer there are of them on the map. ![]() This means that some healing orbs will only give you 5 health (or armor if they are green) and some will give you 100. The healing items are split into different denominations: 5,25,50,100. Players also slowly regenerate health if they are below 100 total health. As soon as a player goes over 100 health (or 100 armor) they lose 1 health (or armor) point per second. Healing is split into both health and armor, with a player being able to carry 200 of each max. Like weapons, healing items are scattered throughout the maps in Xonotic. If you want to learn about all of them, you can click this link or head to the Xonotic Wiki.

The secondary fire is a scope that is very useful for hitting far away enemies. The Vortex is a hit-scan (bullets have infinite velocity) sniper rifle. Two weapons in Xonotic that stand out above the rest. The alternative fire modes often provide some sort of situational advantage, like holding a choke point or delaying an explosion when you fire a grenade launcher. The shotgun is very good at close range and features an alternative “melee” that does considerable damage.Īlmost all weapons in Xonotic have two fire modes. Darts carry a “knockback” effect and can be shot at a players’ own feet to propel him forward or to add extra power to a jump. The blaster does very little damage and is primarily a movement aid. Both are relatively weak, but like all Xonotic weapons, are useful in niche situations. Xonotic is an addictive, arena-style first-person shooter with crisp movement and a wide array of weapons. Players start with two weapons, a blaster and a shotgun. When a player dies, he drops the weapon he was wielding, and his slayer can pick it up. When a player walks over a weapon, it is added to his unlimited arsenal and he can fire it at will. In Xonotic, weapons can be found scattered throughout the map. Here is a quick overview of the weapons and items in Xonotic. ![]()
