01Season dates
| Season | Name | Dates | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Beta | Oct 30 to Nov 30, 2026 | 32 days |
| 1 | Most Wanted | Dec 1, 2026 to Feb 8, 2027 | 70 days |
Season 0 started the day the server opened to the public, Oct 30, 2026. Use /season in-game for the current season.
Season 1 is more than twice as long as Season 0, which gives streaks, the Winter Pass and the bounty leaderboard more room to build.
02Season 0: Beta
Season 0 has no special rule. It's the server as designed, with everyone playing from day one.
| Title | How to get it |
|---|---|
| BETA TESTER | Everyone who plays Season 0 |
| BETA CHAMP | Top Patches earner |
BETA CHAMP goes to whoever earns the most Patches. With a 60-per-day cap, nobody can sprint past the field in a weekend; it's about showing up every day. First-week players get +50% Patches, so starting early helps. Track Patches with /patches and read patches and progression.
Season 0 is also the beta: 32 days of the full game. Prices and rewards follow the market index, which tracks players active in the last 14 days and sits around 1x under 30 players, so the grind depends on how many people are on.
03Season 1: Most Wanted
Season 1 is named for the WANTED system, where overheating with PvP on puts a server bounty on you.
| Title | How to get it |
|---|---|
| S1 SURVIVOR | Participation |
| MOST WANTED | Top bounty hunter |
MOST WANTED goes to the top bounty hunter, so Season 1 rewards players who claim WANTED kills and player bounties.
The MOST WANTED title rewards hunting, so Heat discipline matters all season: every overheat with PvP on hands a hunter a target and a shot at the bounty leaderboard.
04Leaderboards
| Leaderboard | Related feature |
|---|---|
| Patches | Patches from contracts, events and opted-in PvP wins |
| Bounty | WANTED and player bounties |
| Cup | Cheat Cup, Saturdays at 6 PM Central |
| Arena | Arena wins (weekly) |
All titles from seasons and leaderboards are cosmetic. They show what you did; they don't give power.
Each leaderboard rewards a different style. A miner can top Patches, a hunter can top bounty, and a PvP player can top arena or Cup. You don't need to compete on all four.

06Streaks and passes that line up with seasons
- Daily streaks.
/dailypays 75 base Cheater Cash plus a streak bonus. A 7-day streak earns "7 DAY STREAK" and a 30-day streak earns "ON FIRE". Season 0 is 32 days long, so a streak started by Nov 1 can hit 30 inside it. - Halloween Pass. 20 tiers, Oct 30 to Nov 29, inside Season 0.
- Winter Pass. Starts Dec 1, the same day as Season 1.
- Season Pass.
/pass. Arena matches and the Cheat Cup both pay Season Pass XP.
The hub has a community goal board. If the server hits the monthly goal, it can trigger a bonus event night. That's the one season-long target everyone shares.
07Seasons and the Season Pass
The Season Pass (/pass) fills from Season Pass XP. Arena wins pay 30 XP and arena plays pay 10, up to 10 rewarded matches a day. The Cheat Cup pays every participant 40 XP. Store purchases also trigger a server-wide fireworks celebration with a 15-minute XP boost for everyone online.
Everything on the pass is cosmetic. Seasons are about titles, leaderboards and bragging rights, never power.
08How to make the most of a season
- Earn Patches every day up to the 60 cap.
- Claim
/dailyevery day. Streak titles need consecutive days. - Play the Saturday Cup and the nightly Reality Crash.
- Use all 10 rewarded arena matches a day.
