Warpigs Mode

Warpigs is Machiavellic’s brutal PvP gauntlet — a twisted prisoner’s dilemma where greed and paranoia decide your fate.

Schedule
Friday 3PM UTC → Sunday 3PM UTC
Important
All online players have their drones auto-deployed.

Core Idea

  • Farm barrels → you get instant tokens, but you also feed the prize pot and paint yourself as a target.
  • Hunt players → you can stop them from farming, but if nobody cracks barrels, the pot stays empty.
  • Balance → no barrels = no loot. Too many barrels = hunters feast.

Mechanics (Example: 5,000,000 CV Tokens)

1. Barrels (3,000,000 tokens)

  • Each barrel cracked: 20% instant drop to player, 80% into the communal prize pot.
  • Example: Destroy 1,000,000 → 200,000 kept, 800,000 to pot.

2. Prize Pot Distribution

At event end, the pot splits among the top 4 ranked players (based on kills + deaths + collected score):

  • 🥇 1st place: 40%
  • 🥈 2nd place: 30%
  • 🥉 3rd place: 20%
  • 4th place: 10%

3. Prisoner’s Dilemma

  • If nobody cracks barrels → pot stays empty → everyone loses.
  • If only one cracks → he fattens the pot but risks being swarmed.
  • If many crack → pot grows fat → chaos reigns.

Example Outcome

  • 5,000,000 tokens in barrels.
  • 3.5M cracked → 2.8M into the pot, 700k as instant drops.
  • Pot is split among top 4 at event end.

Why It Works

Warpigs creates constant paranoia:

  • Farmers fatten the pot but gain visibility → become targets.
  • Hunters thrive only if farmers take risks.
  • Everyone must decide: feed the machine or starve it.
