1. To accurately shoot with the sniper you need 78 balance or above, so stay still while crouched or go prone.
   
2. The SMG and silenced pistol can't shoot through doors, but the other guns can!
   
3. You can set off C4 by right clicking with the mirror cam stick.
   
4. Aiming with the explosive grenade will throw it with a shorter fuse.
   
5. If someone has a shield, you can push them over with your hands up close.
   
6. If you ragdoll while carrying the briefcase it will fall off your back; don't forget to pick it back up!
   
7. This game has bullet drop! Aim a little higher than your target if your target is far away.
   
8. Both pistols have a maximum range of 65 meters. That won't be relevant on many maps, but the distance between the bridge and the building on Mountainside is a good example of something too far away.
   
9. C4, Laser Sensors, and Bananas can be removed with the use key. Shooting or blowing them up doesn't affect them.

When you move there are three key factors: 1) how fast you're going, 2) how much sound you're making, and 3) how much energy you're using. Running low on energy does not change how fast you move but it can affect your aim.

Going up and down a ladder is almost the same as swimming in water. The way you move is the same but what items you can use are different.

When in water you can only use these items:
Your pistol, lockpick, mirror cam, bush camouflage, and your hands.

When on ladders you can use the above items and these items:
C4, binoculars, and bloon cam.

The following table is a ROUGH ESTIMATE based off of the time it takes to move 100 meters in-game. It is expressed this way so you can tell the relative differences in speed. ADS is short for aiming down sights.

Energy is a resource that is drained as you perform actions. It will never stop you from doing something, but having low energy can make you breathe heavily (other players can hear this) and making shooting accurately harder.

You spawn with 70 energy. Having low energy does not affect your movement speed or jump height. Each weapon has different low energy penalties.

The amount of energy you have affects how long you will stay down after being knocked over.
If you have above 40 energy, then it will take 3 seconds before you can stand up again.
If you have between 40 and 25 energy, then it will take 3.85 seconds before you can stand up again.
If you have under 25 energy, then it will take 4.6 seconds before you can stand up again.
There is also a 1 second delay between standing back up and re-entering first-person.

Balance is a very important mechanic. If your balance ever reaches 0, you will fall over and ragdoll. When standing on the ground it is constantly regenerating up to a maximum value. Certain actions put you at a greater risk of being knocked over than others.

Maximum balance for various actions:
Jumping, swimming, climbing ladders: 5
Sprinting: 29/30
Walking: 48/49
Standing: 49/50
Crouch walking: 64/65
Crouching without moving: 79/80
Crawling: 89/90
Prone: 100

When you are shot you will lose balance.
Explosions from C4, grenades, and mortars will always knock you over.
You can use your bare hands to push another player over.
Putting a barrier between you and the explosion by going around a corner or using a shield will block all damage from an explosion. In rare circumstances, another player's body or a Cardboard Decoy may block an explosion.
When shooting, your balance will decrease by a small amount but this will never cause you to fall over.
The recharge rate of your balance depends on the maximum balance possible for your current stance. For example: Going from mid-air to prone will let you reach the stable sniper rifle balance number (78+) sooner than if you went from mid-air to crouching without moving.

Silence is a key part of stealth. Knowing what actions cannot be heard by other players is just as crucial as knowing what actions can be heard. The following tables are the distance at which something is 100% silent in an open field. You'll need to be much closer for teammates to hear your finger snapping!




Even though you can hear your own footsteps when crouch jumping while not aiming, it's always silent for other players.

Here is a list of commands that you might use if you were hosting a game, messing around, or testing a map. A list of all console commands can be found here. Note that some commands have their own spot in the options menu.
https://sharklootgilt.superbossgames.com/wiki/index.php/Console_Commands

There are four types of commands: Those that can be used by everyone, those that can only be used by an admin, those that can only be used by an admin if cheats are enabled, and those that can be used by everyone if cheats are enabled. Commands are typed directly into the chat box; there is no console input window.


This command will immediately kill you.

There is a system that punishes friendly fire and teamkillers. If you type in /punish when the game prompts you to; the other player is reported, is slain immediately, and is slain again at the start of the next round (unless the map changes). Using /forgive is the same as not using /punish, but it sends a message to the other player that you forgave them.

Sets the vertical field of view for when you spectate. The default is "60" which is equal to the common "90" horizontal field of view. Can be set as low as "10" (17 horizontal) and as high as "120" (144 horizontal). Accepts decimals. Resets upon map change or when leaving and rejoining. Useful for taking screenshots.

Turns the dunce cap on and off for yourself. When you are wearing this hat, players who team kill you will not be punished. This hat is removed upon leaving and rejoining or when the map changes.

The person who started a server always has the rights to promote themselves to the server admin role even if they leave and come back. This ability cannot be transferred to another player. After the map changes, they lose the admin role and must promote themselves again. You can also promote other players with this role. Other players who are promoted to admin also do not keep the admin role when the map changes.

If Alice started a server and wants to give Bob admin rights, then you would format the command like this. Alternatively, you can click on the (i) next to a player's name when you are an Admin to give or remove a specific player's admin privileges.

Restarts the current round. Can cause strange behavior if used after a set ended and the teams are about meant to switch. I recommend remembering "reset" instead of "restart" so using /resetmatch is easier.

Resets the entire match over and wipes the score. Useful for skipping the practice round or setting up competitive matches.

Ends the game early and displays the map vote prompt. If playing on a ranked map then XP that would be gained is forfeit.

Sends a chat message that all players, dead or alive, can see. Useful for talking as a dead player to alive players or as a spectator to alive players. Messages are not shown to be from a specific player, but since admin role promotions are announced in chat people can generally figure it out.

Immediately changes the map the same way as a successful map vote would. For maps with spaces in their name simply remove the space but don't remove punctuation. "Cliffside Raid" becomes "CliffsideRaid". Allows for changing the map to any publicly available map on the Steam Workshop. The admin must be already subscribed to a map in order to switch to it, otherwise it will fail with the error message that no map by that name can be found.

Sets the round timer in seconds. Takes effect at the start of the next round. Accepts values between "60" and "1200". Setting it to "0" will turn the timer off. Persists until the map changes. For example, setting the timer to "300" will set the in-game round timer to "5:00" (five minutes).

This command will enable cheats. You must be the admin of a room in order to use this.

These commands will respawn you as an Intruder (/ssi) or as a Guard (/ssg) wherever your spectator camera's last position is. Move your spectator camera to a different position to respawn somewhere else.

The /spec command is usable without admin permissions or cheats enabled because it makes you a spectator. It's included here because typing it is faster than using the Team menu.

The /sss command functions like the /spec command, except that instead of putting you at your last known spectator camera position it will instead put your spectator camera where your (living or dead) playermodel is. If another player in the game is alive then becoming a spectator will always snap you to them.

Prevents the round from ending when all players on a team are dead. Useful when experimenting solo. Also prevents someone new from joining a server, joining an empty team, and automatically ending the round because all (1) players on that team are dead.

Speeds up or slows down the entire game, including the timer. Accepts numbers between "0.1" and "2.0". Set to "1" to turn the rate of time back to normal.

Sets the gravity for physics objects such as ragdolls, grenades, thrown C4, and chairs. Positive numbers are anti-gravity and negative numbers are regular gravity. The default is "-9.81". It is very easy to set it too high and send players hurtling into the stratosphere or through the floor of the map.

Respawns you where your respective team spawn position is. Functions similar to /ssi and /ssg.

Resets all of the broken glass in the level.

Cleans up player-made blood and bullet hole decals.

Resets all physics objects back to their starting position. Does not affect dropped briefcases.

Makes CS Gas affect teammates. Displays debug lines that show the technical path that the gas took to hit you. Is less of a gameplay modifier and more of a debugging tool because the lines can be seen through walls.

There are a few client-side commands that do not have their own dedicated key and instead rely on a specific key combination. They work when alive, while dead, and as a spectator.

Q + P

Push Q and P at the same time to hide your HUD. Pushing the buttons again, opening the menu, or using the item selection wheel brings it back. Q must be pushed before P.

Q + O

Push Q and O at the same time to toggle an extra outline of briefcase extraction zones. This is a debugging tool and will generally make it look worse. Resets after map change. Q must be pushed before O.

\ + Tab

Push \ (backslash) and the Tab key at the same time to toggle the console log. \ (backslash) must be pushed before Tab.

U + H + B

Push and hold U, then H, then B at the same time to take an extra high resolution screenshot. Saved as 3840x2160 in PNG, the file is saved here:
