1. Be respectful. Discrimination or harassment of any kind is punishable.

6. BLUFOR, INDEP, and OPFOR must use their faction’s Discord voice channels.
7. No metagaming.

⚔️ Combat Rules

1. No Combat Logging: Do not respawn or relog to avoid RP consequences.
2. No fleeing to safezones: You may not run into safezones during active combat or whilst being chased by an opposing faction.
   a. Active Combat / Active Chase is defined firing or being fired upon or being within immediate range (up to 500m) of your opponent in the last 5 minutes.

4. No VDM (Vehicle Deathmatching): You may only use a vehicle to kill if the target poses an immediate lethal threat (e.g., actively shooting at you or intentionally driving to ram you).

6. Armed helicopters may only target civilians if threatened.
7. Civilians in armed vehicles are KOS: a vehicle is considered 'armed' if it has mounted weapons.
8. No kamikaze or ramming tactics with vehicles, this includes unmanned drones.

10. Entering enemy territory without joint ops = KOS.
