4 **Buffs** is a mutator that adds various [powerup](Powerups)-like collectibles, the “Buffs”. Buffs are little bonuses that improve your status effects or give you a special power. A few buffs have a downside as well.
8 To collect a buff, simply walk over it. You can only have one buff at a time. All buffs have a duration of 60 seconds.
10 You can drop a buff (thereby destroying it) by pressing the “drop key/flag” control (default F).
15 This is a list of all possible buffs:
17 | Name | Description |
19 | Ammo | Your ammo is infinite |
20 | Bash | Increased knockback force and immunity to knockback |
21 | Disability | Attacks to enemies deal slowness (decreased movement/attack speed) for a few seconds |
22 | Flight | Crouch in mid-air to reverse gravity for you |
23 | Inferno | Players you damage will also receive burning damage for a few seconds |
24 | Invisible | You are nearly invisible |
25 | Jump | Greatly increased jump height |
26 | Luck | Each attack has a chance of being a “critical hit” with greatly increased damage |
27 | Magnet | You will automatically collect items near you |
28 | Medic | Your health will regenerate up to 150 HP, you heal nearby players and have a chance to survive fatal hits |
29 | Resistance | Greatly reduces damage taken |
30 | Speed | Increased speed of movement, attacks and health regeneration. Downside: You are a bit more vulnerable to attacks as well |
31 | Swapper | You can press the “drop weapon” key to switch places with a nearby enemy (once) |
32 | Vampire | You receive the damage you deal as health (even above 200 HP) |
33 | Vengeance | If someone hurts you, some of the damage is mirrored back to them |
35 Disability, Jump, Flight and Swapper are disabled by default.
40 Buffs are enabled in the Mutators menu or with setting the [CVar](CVars) `g_buffs` to `1`. However, buffs will only spawn in maps that support it. For maps that lack support for buffs, you can also set the CVar `g_buffs_replace_powerups` to `1`. This will spawn buffs where [Powerups](Powerups) would normally spawn.
