Prepare before you queue#

  1. Open /zombies and enter the Armory.
  2. Choose your starting weapon before joining. Selection locks while queued or joining.
  3. Join the match queue. The lobby countdown is 30 seconds.
  4. Vote for a map and check your setup. Queue controls include map voting, loadout, status and leaving.

Four arenas#

  • Gallowswind Village
  • Deadwake Shipyard
  • Saffron
  • Frostglass

Voting happens during the countdown. Ties and rounds with no votes choose a random ready map. Your normal prison inventory is saved before entry, and the match issues separate equipment.

Weapons and reloading#

The Armory offers different firing styles, from reliable mid-range fire and close-range shards to precise shots, burst fire, a large magazine and chain attacks. Read the magazine, range and reload details before choosing.

Reload with Swap Item With Offhand or Drop. If you prefer R, bind Swap Item With Offhand to R in Minecraft’s controls. Leave the queue before changing your starting weapon.

Qualifying for rewards#

Rewards require at least 8 contributions, 120 active seconds and 2 completed waves. Just standing in a match is not enough. Qualifying cash and crate keys scale with your earned mine rank and performance.

Open the Money & Crate Keys reward entry to check eligibility and saved rewards. Give yourself inventory space when collecting after a match. Staff-ended or test matches do not count as normal rewarded games.
