== "Kill on Sight" Zones ==
== Gang Wars==
Redzones are red highlighted areas on the map. They are "kill on sight" meaning shooting at someone does not require or create initiation. You must be inside the zone to shoot. You cannot shoot from inside to outside or outside to inside unless someone involves themselves with the zone (e.g. going in/out of the zone or giving callouts to people inside).
Gang Wars is a weekly event usually held every week on a Saturday. The event is streamed by Anzus staff; usually on [https://www.twitch.tv/doug_jumper Doug Jumper]'s Twitch.  


If a redzone disappears, normal initiation rules apply if shots have already been fired at the other party.
The regular server will be down during this time; the server is password-protected for Gang Wars attendees.  
== Conflict Areas ==
=== Capture Points ===
Capture Zones are conflict gang activity. These zones will have 3 different colours indicating capture status; they are KOS redzones at all times regardless of colour.


* '''White''' not captured yet.
Check the [https://discord.gg/anzus Anzus Discord] for the current event schedule.  
* '''Orange''' currently being captured.
* '''Red''' captured and actively held by a gang


To capture a zone, locate the flagpole within the zone (typically near the centre) and use your Windows key to start the capture. Whilst a gang is in control of a zone they will periodically gain gang funds multiplied by the current population of the server. Getting kills on enemy gangs within zones will also provide Gang Experience which can be used to unlock perk points for your Gang Hideout unlocks.
===How it Works===
Gang Wars operates like a Battle Royale game. Each gang is against each other in a Kill on Sight (KOS) zone, with the last team standing taking home the trophy.
Gang Wars starts by marking a red zone placed randomly on the map. The first zone allows players 6 minutes to get into the zone. Once this zone "activates", anyone outside of the zone will be killed automatically.


=== Conflict Zone ===
After 5 minutes, players are permitted to leave the zone as the zone will slowly move across the map to another location. Once the zone has started to move, players will have 5 minutes to move into the zone. The zone will activate, move again, and so on.  
Conflict Zone events occur in "No Mans Land". The objective is to capture points with your gang. A maximum of 8 gang members can attend the Conflict zone event (CTRG can ally but your numbers can not exceed a total of 8 members).


The medical rule preventing you from returning to the scene of your death does not apply in conflict zone events; if you die in a conflict zone event, you may return instantly.  
Each time the zone moves, the zone will get slightly smaller, forcing teams to move closer to each other.


== Looting ==
===Special Gang Wars===
=== Land Events ===
Periodically, special gang wars will be hosted with specific rules, vehicles and weapons that can be used.  
Events recur frequently throughout a restart. The scheduler cycles through events that spawn interactable objects and KOS zones.  


==== Cartel Money ====  
An example of a special event gang wars is Shotgun/Sanchez Wars where all players must use the Sanchez (motorbike) and a shotgun to take out other players, while all other vehicles and weapons are removed from play.
Cartel Money spawns a tent-covered money printer. A player can activate the machine by pressing the Windows key on the machine, and then electing to begin printing. This will start giving the player cash over time. This is an illegal activity which CID actively attempts to prevent by checking the location on routine patrols.
=== Rewards ===
The following have respective TeamSpeak tags that can be awarded to Gang Wars participants. People awarded a TS tag keep them until the next Gang Wars.  
* MVP (Most Valuable Player)
* Highest IQ
* Lowest IQ
* Biggest Balls
If any official gang win Normal Gang Wars (Special Gang Wars don't count unless specified otherwise), they will be awarded a Gang Wars trophy which can be viewed in your Gang Warehouse if one is owned.


==== Plane Crash ====
==How to Join==
Scavengers may loot KOS plane crashes. The wreck requires "Jaws of Life" to open. The plane carries valuable pharmaceuticals.


==== Weapons Cache ====
You must be in an official gang to participate in Gang Wars, however, sometimes non-official groups who are showing good roleplay and good experiences on the server who are not official will be permitted to play in these gang wars. You can view the [https://www.anzus.life/topic/54370-official-gang-information/ requirements to become an official gang] on the forums.
The Weapons Cache falls from the sky with a parachute; the KOS zone appears around the landing site. The crate contains a couple of guns and their magazines. This is an illegal activity which SWAT actively attempts to prevent by responding to the situation when the event begins.


====Meth Van====
===Gang Wars Sign-Up===
The Meth Van is a unique mobile redzone. The player can drive the van to a suitable location before cooking meth with the vehicle. There is a chance that the van may explode while cooking is in progress. This is an illegal activity which CID actively attempts to prevent by checking the location on routine patrols.
Each gang must sign up in advance to participate. Gangs populate a roster of 10 participants and two players in reserve. The leader is included in this total; this person will be sent the server password just before the event commences. The roster is submitted in the [https://discord.gg/sQhGYNM4kd Civilian & Gang Discord]


==== Meteorite Mining ====
Gang Wars Roster Template:
Meteor impact sites and fragments are of great scientific interest and mining meteorites is illegal.


You will have five minutes from the initial warning of an incoming meteor impact before the meteor strikes the ground. Keep a distance of at least 120m to avoid debris damage. You will have five minutes to collect meteorite fragments with your pickaxe before they become oxidised and un-minable.

=== Aquatic Events ===
===Gang Wars Rules===
==== Asylum Seekers ====
* You can only use cars.
Between three and six AI Asylum Seekers can spawn in a boat wearing various high-visibility clothing. You will have to drive slowly by them within ~5 meters of distance in a boat which will load them into your vehicle.
* Only use equipment you can buy in the Gang Wars shop.
 
* Only use your official gang clothing, no custom helmets or other equipment.
You may turn these in by heading to a boat shop and interacting with the sign to turn in asylum seekers. The payout is multiplied by the amount of relevant police online. This is deemed an illegal activity and police actively try to stop this activity from taking place by securing the asylum seekers.
* Only use publicly accessible buildings (no houses or anything requiring special items / whitelisting to access)
 
* You are only allowed to use doughnuts, no other stat increase consumables are allowed.
==== Protected Coral ====
* 1 car per 3.5 team members
Coral reefs are a protected species and it is illegal to disturb them. They can be gathered by swimming down and using a pickaxe to mine chunks of coral. The coral can be sold to the illegal trader.
* Combat Reviving is allowed
 
* Everyone must be able to provide a full recording if requested by staff
==== Jellyfish Swarms ====
* Coming into Twitch chat and complaining about anything will result in a gang wars ban
Jellyfish are an endangered and protected species. They are infrequent visitors to our local waters; their swarms are vast but they do not stay for long. To net for jellyfish, head to the "Swarm of Jellyfish" marked on the map in a boat with trunk space. Use your Windows key while in the boat to drop a net and wait for it to fill. The jellyfish will be automatically added to the boat trunk.  
 
==== Shipwreck ====
Shipwreck can be opened with an underwater charge. The boats contain loot such as refined oil.
 
==History==
===Capture Zones===
Points are regularly moved, renamed, or repurposed to diversify conflict. Previous zones included Devils Port, Winter Mansion, Scrap Yard and Ghost Hotel.
 
===Meth Lab===
The Meth event used to spawn an entire brick building.
 
===Mobster & Cartel===
Previously, two zones existed which, when captured, would give ownership of different illegal runs and grant the owner fees per backpack processed. You could choose to deny fees and the relevant gang would be informed. These capture zones were unique in their initiation rules: if you shot before the zone turns green the initiation continues but if the zone is green it is not KOS.
