King of the Hill (KOTH)

King of the Hill is a once-daily PvP showdown in its own arena. To win, stand on the hill and hold it — everyone else's job is to knock you off. Complete the capture and you walk away with the rebuilt KOTH Lootbag.

When it runs

KOTH runs once a day, at 6:00 PM Pacific — a single evening slot, so the whole server funnels into one bigger, more-contested fight. Staff can shift a given day's slot, so treat the in-game countdowns as the source of truth. Chat countdowns begin 15 minutes before the event ("KOTH starts in 15m! Do /warp koth!"). When it opens, head to the arena with /warp koth.

Gear tiers

Every KOTH has an announced gear tier. Only gear of that tier or lower is allowed:

A Chain KOTH levels the playing field; a Netherite KOTH is a full-power brawl. Over-tier gear is blocked at the door, and anything over-tier you try to equip inside is automatically unequipped.

Capturing the hill

• Stand on the hill alone to start capping. A contested hill (more than one player on it) can't be captured.
• Once a capture starts, hold the hill for 5 minutes to win. Chat broadcasts who's capping and the time remaining.
• Stepping off, dying, or getting knocked off resets the capture — the hill is up for grabs again.

Death rules

Dying at KOTH stings, but you keep your kit:

• You keep your inventory on death — the one exception is a carried Lootbag, which drops where you fall.
• You're locked out for the rest of the event, and the gear you died with is locked out too — you can't hand your kit to a teammate to keep fighting.
• You can't drop items in the arena, and some commands are blocked while you're inside.

Anonymity

Players outside your own gang appear disguised — scrambled names and randomized skins. You'll recognize your gangmates; everyone else is a mystery. While your gang is in a KOTH, gang membership changes are locked until the event ends.

The KOTH Lootbag

Win and you receive the KOTH Lootbag — right-click it in a safe zone to open. It was completely rebuilt for Season 2 into three layers:

• A guaranteed set — every win comes with a small package of staples, including the exclusive [K.O.T.H.] chat title.
• A random pool — the bag then rolls a handful of items from a wide spread of consumables, boosters, orbs, boss keys, and inventory expanders.
• A jackpot spin — a separate spin lands one guaranteed premium reward, ranging from rank and G-Kit prizes up to the KOTH-exclusive Olympian trims, the rarest of which are left for winners to discover.
