011. Your first session

  1. Join at play.cheatsmp.dev and type /survival in the hub. You spawn in your own spot with a 5-second shield.
  2. After about 20 seconds you get Dash. Use it once to start the tutorial.
  3. Mine 10 ores, then pick a Cheat Pack.
  4. Use any power, then /sethome. You get 5 Patches and 5 Gems. Tutorial done.

Your first week you also earn +50% Patches to catch up. Skip the tutorial any time with /skiptutorial.

022. Patches unlock powers

Patches come from daily contracts, events and opted-in PvP, up to 60 a day. They permanently unlock powers and slots. Full list on the cheats page.

033. Heat, WANTED and bounties

Every power adds Heat. Let it cool down between bursts. If you overheat in Survival with PvP on, you go WANTED for 3 minutes. Players can also post bounties with /bounty <player> <amount>; the money is held until someone claims it. See who is hunted with /wanted.

044. Money: Cheater Cash, Gems and the market

  • Cheater Cash: daily claim, Sell Chests, auctions, arenas and contracts. Spend it on the server shop, player shops, auctions and the Blueprint Shop.
  • Gems: 1 a day from playing, plus events. Spent on cosmetics.
  • The live market: prices and rewards scale with how many people play. Selling the same ore as everyone else pays less; rare materials pay more. Check it with /market.

055. Nightly events (7 PM Central)

066. Arenas and the Cheat Cup

/arena queues you for Dash Duels, Ore Rush or Shockwave King with loaner kits, so you never lose real gear. Every Saturday at 6 PM Central the Cheat Cup runs three rounds; the winner gets the CUP CHAMP title. Join with /cup join.
