Standard Counter-Strike 2 weapons only
No custom guns. No new models. Players can find extra ammunition.
One global levelling system
Phase 0 uses only the opening stretch of it. The ceiling is Level 50. Every level has its own reward; the last weapon sits at the ceiling.
1 point of damage = $1
Standard CS2 dollars, no new currencies. Before the infection starts the shop is open almost anywhere. After that it closes.
A $100,000 limit straight away, your own unit, a distinctive character model
About 300 ₽ a month, as a way to support the project. No advantage in damage, health or levelling. No pay-to-win.
