Points
Points are the match’s money: they open doors and buy weapons, perks, the Mystery Box and the Forge of Ys. Each player has their own pool, which starts over every match. They have nothing to do with XP or the game’s currencies (see Currencies).
Every player starts the match with 500 points.
Earning points
On the Drowned
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Each direct hit (bullet, knife, Disintegrator beam, Trident bolt) | +10 |
| Kill (body) | +50 (so 60 with the hit) |
| Headshot kill | +90 (100 with the hit) |
| Knife kill | +120 (130 with the hit) |
| Ankou hound | +50 |
| Diver | +500 |
The enemies of the Nec Mergitur Métro have their own rates (rats, chimeras and others): see Special enemies. Easter egg bosses give no points, but plenty of XP.
- The +10 per hit only counts for direct hits. Explosions (grenades, launchers), the blast and wave of the other wonder weapons, fire, poison and the lightning of elemental ammo give nothing per hit; they only give the kill if they finish the target.
- Traps and the Kaboom power-up kill without giving kill points (the Kaboom, however, gives 400 points to every player).
- A shield bash (Buildables) counts as a knife hit.
Barriers
Each board put back on a window gives 10 points, up to 500 points per round per player (50 boards). Past that, you can keep rebuilding, but for free. See Doors, barriers and Power.
Power-ups and the squad
| Source | Points |
|---|---|
| Kaboom | +400 for every player |
| Carpenter | +200 for every player |
| Bonus Points | 50 to 500 (in steps of 10) for every player |
Some Korrigan’s Gumballs also give points (Korrigan’s Treasure, End of Watch…).
Double Points
During Double Points (30 seconds), all points earned are doubled for the whole squad: hits, kills, boards, and also the points from a Kaboom, Carpenter or Bonus Points picked up meanwhile. A refund (a Mystery Box that flies away, for instance) is never doubled.
Double Points + Insta-Kill is the time to go in with the knife: each Drowned killed in melee is then worth 260 points. Pick up a Kaboom or Bonus Points during Double Points rather than before.
Sharing points
You cannot give your points to a teammate. Everyone pays for their own purchases, and the points of an action go to whoever did it (the last bullet, for the kill).
Two exceptions:
- squad power-ups (Kaboom, Carpenter, Bonus Points) pay everyone;
- the Share of the Loot gumball: for 10 minutes, the hit, kill and board points you earn are also paid to teammates within 12 m, and vice versa.
In a squad, the custom is to take turns opening doors and to leave knife kills to whoever still has a perk to buy.
Losing points
- Going down costs 5% of your points.
- Dying (bleeding out all the way) costs 10% of what you have left.
- When you respawn, if you have fewer than 1,500 points, you are topped up to 1,500.
Spending points
| Purchase | Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Doors and debris | 750 to 1,500 depending on the door (Doors, barriers and Power) | |
| Wall weapons | 500 to 2,500 depending on the weapon; ammo at half price (Weapons) | |
| Ammo for an upgraded weapon, at the wall | 4,500 | |
| [[mechanics/mystery-box | Mystery Box]] | 950 (10 during a Fire Sale) |
| [[perks | Perks]] | 1,500 to 4,000 depending on the perk (Second Wind: 500 solo) |
| [[forge-of-ys | Forge of Ys]] | 5,000, then 2,500 for each further upgrade |
| [[gums | Korrigan’s Gumball]] | 500, 1,000 then 2,000 within the same round |
| Traps | 1,000 (Doors, barriers and Power) |
To buy, hold F in front of the object; the price shows with the prompt. A grayed-out prompt explains what is missing (points, Power, perk limit…).
- The first doors toward a good survival zone (with a wall weapon and an easy window to hold).
- A reliable wall weapon, then the Power.
- Menhir and, solo, Second Wind.
- The Forge of Ys around round 12–15, then the Mystery Box to hunt for a wonder weapon.
Scoreboard
Hold Tab to show the scoreboard: for each player, their current points, kills, headshots, downs, revives and ping, along with the gumball in their pocket and the object they carry. Below: the progress of the map’s buildables and your gumball pack.
At the end of the match, players are ranked by score, that is the total points earned during the match (points spent are not taken off the score).
