The more health an orb gives you, the bigger it is and the fewer there are of them on the map.

This means that some healing orbs will only give you 5 health (or armor if they are green) and some will give you 100. The healing items are split into different denominations: 5,25,50,100. Players also slowly regenerate health if they are below 100 total health. As soon as a player goes over 100 health (or 100 armor) they lose 1 health (or armor) point per second. Healing is split into both health and armor, with a player being able to carry 200 of each max. Like weapons, healing items are scattered throughout the maps in Xonotic. If you want to learn about all of them, you can click this link or head to the Xonotic Wiki. There are a total of nine weapons in Xonotic. These two firing modes are mutually exclusive. The second allows you to automatically detonate the rocket, regardless of how close it is to an enemy or surface of the map. The first allows you to continue to control the path of the rocket after it has been fired, making for some super cool clips. It actually has two additional firing modes. The secondary fire is a scope that is very useful for hitting far away enemies. The Vortex is a hit-scan (bullets have infinite velocity) sniper rifle. Two weapons in Xonotic that stand out above the rest. The alternative fire modes often provide some sort of situational advantage, like holding a choke point or delaying an explosion when you fire a grenade launcher. The shotgun is very good at close range and features an alternative “melee” that does considerable damage.Īlmost all weapons in Xonotic have two fire modes. Darts carry a “knockback” effect and can be shot at a players’ own feet to propel him forward or to add extra power to a jump.

The blaster does very little damage and is primarily a movement aid. Both are relatively weak, but like all Xonotic weapons, are useful in niche situations. Players start with two weapons, a blaster and a shotgun. When a player dies, he drops the weapon he was wielding, and his slayer can pick it up. When a player walks over a weapon, it is added to his unlimited arsenal and he can fire it at will. In Xonotic, weapons can be found scattered throughout the map. Here is a quick overview of the weapons and items in Xonotic.
