Wave-specific info

Wave 8

The only foes here are groups of Monsters/humans.

Wave 10

This wave consists entirely of a swarm of zombies with just 1 HP.

Wave 15

Zombie pigmen are summmoned from lighting strikes at the corners of the arena, which makes this wave a chance to get cooked pork.

Wave 20

The only foe in this wave is a boss, a spider with a lot of HP. Its attacks are:

  • Warp: It teleports somewhere else in the arena to evade attacks.
  • Arrow: One arrow is shot at a random player.
  • Fetch Target: Teleports a random player to itself.
  • Root Target: Traps a random player, locking their camera and position.

The boss, when defeated, disappars alongside a sound of an explosion.

Wave 39

This wave and the next one are the showcases of the embodiment of PETA's fury. How?

A swarm of wolves!

Not many players have gotten to this wave before.

Wave 40

You'll encounter a wolf with a ton of HP, and it has different attacks compared to the one in wave 20:

  • Warp: It teleports somewhere else in the arena to evade attacks.
  • Lightning Aura: Summmons one bolt of lightning straight from the sky at the wolf's location. Spectators can also be attacked.
  • Throw Nearby Players and Throw Distant Players: Title says it all.
  • Shuffle Positions: Swaps positions of itself and another player(?)

The boss disappears when defeated and a sound of an explosion plays.

Rewards

Mobs

  • Mobs give money upon being killed, however, after some time the message of no more rewards being available for the area appears and they no longer give money. Generally, the wave rewards listed below have greater value than the money gained from killing mobs.
  • Hostile wolves, even though they're hostile, actually subtract money when you kill them. Though, once no more rewards are available (see above), this penalty does not apply anymore.
  • The Monster mob, bearing appearance of a Steve, does not give nor take any money at all, regardless they still pose a threat to the player by chasing and dealing damage.

Wave 1-10

  • Gunpowder
  • Bones
  • Cookies
  • Iron Ingots
  • Apples

Known Later Wave Rewards
