The OP Factions game mode resets a few days after the final payout is over. A reset has to happen to change and improve with new features, to make the game more exciting for you all! This then allows players to have a fresh start and new players can begin to play without any significant disadvantage. This means all items, money, and the map will be reset. Nothing will be kept leftover from the previous map. With that being said, the first week of a new OP Factions season is extremely important.

Faction Punishments​

In OP Factions, we use a strike system. You can find an explanation of every OP Factions specific rule HERE. Breaking these rules in most cases will result in faction punishments also known as strikes. Each amount of strikes results in a different faction punishment. A faction will not be able to participate in the factions top competition and will lose the opportunity to win the payouts upon reaching 10 strikes. You can also type /f warns in-game to check the faction rules. You can report factions who breaks the rules HERE with valid video evidence.

Ranks & Classes​

In OP Factions you can get ranks with in game money, win donator ranks through crates or by buying them in the Store. With having a rank, you can have access to exclusive features and commands in the server. You will also have access to redeem donator kits depending on your rank. We also have classes also known as GKits. GKits are special kits available on the PikaNetwork server. These kits provide players with unique sets of items, armor, and tools that they can use in the game. GKits are often more powerful and exclusive compared to the regular kits available to players. They can offer advantages such as stronger weapons, better armor, or special abilities. You can check more about the Ranks & Classes HERE.

MCMMO​

MCMMO is a popular plugin that is commonly used on Minecraft servers, including our OP Factions server on PikaNetwork. MCMMO adds a skill leveling system to various aspects of the game, such as mining, combat, archery, fishing, and more. As players perform these activities, they earn experience points and level up their corresponding skills. As the skills level up, players unlock special abilities and bonuses that enhance their gameplay. For example, in the mining skill, players can gain abilities like "Super Breaker," which increases mining speed, or "Blast Mining," which allows them to trigger explosions while mining. In combat-related skills, players can gain abilities such as "Serrated Strikes" for Sword which applies bleeding damage to enemies, or "Skull Splitter" for Axe which deals damage to multiple nearby enemies. You can view your MCMMO stats by typing /mcstats in-game.

Spawners​

Spawners are special blocks that, when placed, generate and spawn specific types of mobs in the game. In OP Factions, spawners can be obtained through various means, including purchasing them from the in-game store, raiding a faction, or trading with other players. Once a player obtains a spawner, they can place it in their faction's territory to create a mob farm or use it for other purposes. There are 10 upgrade levels for spawners. For each one of those upgrades you need to have certain Experience Level and Mob Heads. The table below shows the benefits and the costs of upgrading your spawners.

King Of The Hill​

In OP Factions, we have a scheduled in-game event called King Of The Hill (KOTH). King Of The Hill is a PvP (Player versus Player) event where factions battle for control over a designated area or hill. During a KOTH event, factions compete to capture and hold the hill by having members of their faction stand within the designated area. The faction that successfully maintains control over the hill for a certain duration or until the event ends is declared the winner. Participating in a KOTH event can offer various rewards and benefits to the winning faction. These rewards may include in-game currency, spawners, ranks, gkit containers, and much more within the OP Factions game mode. You can check the list of all available koths in-game by using the /koth list command. So what are you waiting for? Join OP Factions now and be the King Of The Hill!

Outposts​

Outposts are specific locations or structures within the game world that factions can capture and control. Outposts are significant strategic points that provide various benefits and rewards to the faction that holds them. Capturing an outpost involves defeating the defenders and claiming the outpost as your faction's territory. Once a faction successfully captures an outpost, they gain control over it and can reap the advantages associated with it. Outposts often serve as points of contention and competition between factions, as factions strive to control and defend these strategic locations. They can encourage PvP (Player versus Player) battles and foster a dynamic and competitive gameplay environment. We have an outpost called the Darkzone Outpost. Once your faction has capped the outpost, your faction will get the benefits of 2.0x Extra EXP Boost, 2.0x Extra Sell Boost, and 2.0x Extra Spawner Boost which can give your faction a huge advantage especially if you are competing for the factions top competition.

Supply Drops​

Supply Drops in OP Factions refer to special loot drops that occur in the game at specific locations and times. These drops typically contain valuable and rare items that can give players an advantage in the faction-based gameplay. You can scout for Supply Drops outside the safezone of the spawn. You can claim the Supply Drops by simply right-clicking them. To check when the next drop is starting, you can use the command /supplydrops or /envoy.
