How it works
The ladder — Thirteen stages in order: RPG, Shotgun, .357, Crossbow, Gravity gun, AR2, AR2 orbs, SMG, SMG grenades, Frag grenades, Pistol, Crowbar, SLAM. Two kills per stage, one on SLAM. A map with too few props skips the gravity-gun stage, so a round can be shorter than thirteen.
Winning — The first SLAM kill ends the round. The winner gets +30 ELO on the season rating — a bonus, never a kill: Gun Game kills do not touch your ELO, your weapon stats or your engagements.
Stealing — A crowbar kill steals a stage: the victim drops one, the thief keeps climbing.
Odd stages — On the orb and grenade stages only that weapon counts — an AR2 orb or an SMG grenade, not the bullets. The gravity gun is there to catch and send back frag grenades.
Commands — !run gg starts a round on the current map, !run ffa puts the server back to normal, !gg shows your own progress and !ggtop the Gun Game ladder. The pause key freezes a round.
