So messing up their play, accidentally or not, is a good way to earn their ire. Sometimes these players are knowledgeable, or even pro players. Be considerate of other players. Hardcore servers are often played by various people – almost daily you can bet you’ll see someone in the servers.So please save your enthusiasm and be careful. Running in guns blazing may be a valid strategy for other servers (particularly XP servers), and I know it’s a great feeling to be like a action movie star and mow down your enemies like they’re copy paper, but if you do that here, you’ll just quickly die. Avoid rushing. Remember: this is a Hardcore server, where everything kills you in one shot.To start things off, here are a few basic guidelines to keep in mind when you are in Hardcore server: I’m simply sharing what I know in hopes that this knowledge will be useful to others. I highly doubt this is going to be best guide ever, and I definitely don’t know everything since I’m not a pro. This is the purpose of this guide: to teach and reduce the lack of knowledge. So what is this guide about? Well, I wrote this guide to (hopefully) teach new players the basics of Hardcore servers: how to play, what not to do, tactics in different situations, et cetera. The game is in permanent Survival Mode.Īs a reminder: Survival Mode is where if you die – you can only be revived if another player revives you with a medkit (as long as your body is intact – you can’t revive gibbed players) if a Respawn Point is reached and at the start of each level (you are given a 30-second grace period where you can respawn, before the Survival mode is activated).Most levels have anti-rush features implemented.The damage dealt by enemies is dramatically increased, enough to instantly kill you.Hardcore servers have several things that make them stand out: For the latter, I’m sure that you were surprised when the enemies instantly killed you in just one hit. Heyo! I’m sure quite a number of Sven Co-op players have seen these servers in the list that have the word “Hardcore” in their title and either were intimidated by it, or decided to join out of curiosuty.
