We are delighted to announce that there will be a Last Mand Standing event at OpFactions again.
The event will start at the time of the OpFactions release, which means the actual release will happen as soon as the Last Man Standing event has ended!
โ“ What is LMS?
Last Man Standing (LMS) is an event we always run before a KitPvP reset. It is essentially a free-for-all/Team Deathmatch-styled game, where all players are competing to be the last player remaining! Access to commands such as: /spawn, /shop, /pv will be disabled, meaning that you cannot leave the arena, or buy any extra loot. There will be a shrinking border, make sure to stay inside the area, or else you will take massive damage from the border itself. Survive till the end to get the rewards! Once you die, you're out of the event. Carry on watching until someone wins!
๐Ÿ’ป How can I play?
Make sure to be online before this, as when the event starts you are not able to hop in afterwards.
Make sure to have your loadouts ready in your inventory, grind your final sets because your inventory at the start is your final loadout.


๐Ÿ›๏ธ New! Spawn

A new OpFactions season means a brand-new spawn to kick off the new season, and this season brings a fresh theme once again.
โ„๏ธ A Spawn and Warzone with a Christmas theme.
๐Ÿ’ฐ Capture the outpost for some extra rewards.
โ“ Are you looking for some help? There are plenty of NPCs explaining all the features.
๐Ÿ”‘ A new seasonal crate has been added again.

๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Updated! Worlds

Our worlds are waiting for you to conquer them.
We will be having a total of 16 corners with 4 worlds, and those worlds are the following:

๐Ÿ“ƒ There will be a total of 20 corners, these being the following:
๐ŸŒ Overworld
๐Ÿ”ฎ The End

โ›ฐ๏ธ There are 4 KOTHs, located North, East, South, and West of spawn.โ›ฐ๏ธ There is 1 KOTH near the world spawn.โ›ฐ๏ธ There is 1 Outpost near the world spawn.


โš”๏ธNew! FPS Arena
The popular /warp FPS has been transformed into a festive winter battle arena!
Along with the snowy makeover, a Winter Boss now spawns in this area, bringing new challenges and exciting rewards.
Defeating the Winter Boss gives you a chance to earn a random special set with unique bonuses, including decreased and increased damage stats.



๐Ÿ“œNew! Daily Quests
Get ready to take on 10 new challenges every day in OpFactions!
The quests are unlocked at Level 15 and reset at 00:00 CET daily, giving everyone fresh goals to complete.
The quests come in three levels of difficulty:
๐ŸŸข Easy Quests
๐ŸŸก Medium Quests
๐Ÿ”ด Hard Quests
๐Ÿฅณ Complete quests & earn rewards!
Youโ€™ll see your quests in a colorful, easy-to-use menu that helps you track your progress, streaks, and rewards.
Since the quests are the same for all players, itโ€™s a fair and fun way to compete with friends!
๐Ÿ“† Complete quests daily.
When you complete Daily Quests, you will build up your Daily Streak Bonus!
Streak bonuses for completing quests on consecutive days. Each streak has a specific required amount of Quests to complete, and once you have reached that, you will be able to claim amazing bonus rewards.
๐Ÿ‘ปNew! Dungeons
Get ready to explore the all-new dungeons, filled with mobs, bosses, and unique challenges.
๐Ÿ” Unlock dungeons, clear rooms, and repeat!
Each dungeon has a series of rooms that must be cleared to advance.
Once you complete a dungeon, itโ€™s permanently unlocked, and you can replay it as often as you want, with a 24-hour cooldown between runs.
๐Ÿ‘ช Play in four dungeons, solo or with a party.
There are four dungeons to start, each with its own theme, difficulty, and rewards. You can take on these challenges solo or as part of a party of up to 5 players.
Playing with a party increases the number of mobs and boss health, making teamwork essential for victory.
๐Ÿ˜จ A challenge is waiting for you.
Complete dungeons to earn special tokens, which can be traded in their unique shops for exclusive rewards.
But bewareโ€”dying in a dungeon locks you out of it for 24 hours. No commands or shortcuts are allowed, so strategy and skill are key.
Inside the dungeons you will only be able to see your party, keep inventory is enabled, so you can bring your best loadout to clear out a dungeon.
๐ŸŽฎNew! Battle Pass
The Battle Pass is your chance to take on 35 exciting challenges throughout the season, with rewards waiting at every step.
๐Ÿค” Every challenge is a mystery.
As you progress, challenges become tougher, pushing you to improve and stay engaged.
To keep things interesting, you can only see your current challenge and the next one, leaving future challenges a mystery until you unlock them.
๐Ÿ’Ž Free and premium rewards every season.
Both a free and a premium reward track are available, giving everyone a chance to earn prizes.
Upgrade to the premium track for 7500 gold to unlock even better rewards, like diamond-tier items, compared to the gold-tier items on the free track.
Every season introduces fresh challenges and unique rewards, so no two Battle Pass experiences are the same.
๐ŸŸ๏ธNew! Arena Challenges
The Arena Challenge System is part of the Battle Pass and includes 10 arenas, each more difficult than the last. In these arenas, you must defeat mobs to complete the challenge.
The first arena needs 500 kills, and the last one needs 25,000 kills.
๐Ÿ‘ฟ Different arenas, with multiple mobs.
Each arena has 2-4 types of mobs. Stronger mobs are slower but harder to kill, while weaker mobs are faster but easier to defeat.
As you move to higher arenas, mobs become tougher, but the rewards also get better. You can also earn Boss Tokens, a special currency that drops more often in the higher arenas.
๐Ÿ’€ Fight other players!
Inside the arena, you cannot use commands and must leave through the exit portal.
You can fight alongside others in the same arena or take on the challenge alone, but be aware, PvP is enabled and your loadout is at risk!



๐Ÿ“Œ Updated! Factions Points

Faction Points have been rebalanced to better fit the economy. Each Faction Point now gives $30B instead of $50B, and the number of points earned for controlling a Stronghold has been reduced.
These changes are designed to maintain balance and ensure a fair competitive experience for all factions.

๐Ÿ’ฃ Updated! Faction Points Raiding

Raiding mechanics have been adjusted to make battles more strategic and impactful.
Spam shooting TNT in a base claim is no longer an option to raid points.
Now, if your base claim is hit during a raid, your faction will lose 35% of its points immediately.
After this initial hit, you wonโ€™t lose any more points during the same raid.

โš™๏ธ Fixed! Bugs
Weโ€™ve put in a lot of work to polish and fix as many bugs as possible on the OpFactions server.
We carefully reviewed all reported issues and successfully fixed them.
If you find any bugs with the new release, please report them in the bug reports section on our forums.
โ“Did you know about bug report rewards?
You can earn Gold by reporting bugs! We appreciate everyone who takes the time to report issues, so weโ€™re giving back to you.
Each season, when all reported bugs are fixed, youโ€™ll receive Gold in your virtual wallet, which you can redeem on our Discord with /wallet.

    • Cooldown is now lowered to 4 minutes.
  • Updated all enchanted items, they now have water breathing
