Earth Completely Freezes
Snow starts falling and the temperature keeps dropping until the oceans freeze solid. Buildings give out from the cold rather than from a wave, so the round is a shelter round with collapsing cover.
| The banner says | “What if Earth completely froze?” |
|---|---|
| Hazard type | Temperature |
| Where it hits | Any map, outdoors |
| How to survive | Get into a building and stay in the warmest corner. Recorded rounds survived by not moving at all — the buildings that fall are the ones people leave. |
How the round plays out
- 1.Snow starts falling on a map that would never normally see it, and the HUD switches to finding shelter.
- 2.So cold that buildings begin to fail — structures collapse on their own, not because anything hit them.
- 3.The oceans freeze solid — the end state, where anything not indoors is done.
Where it kills you: Outdoors, and inside a building that is already failing. The damage comes from being exposed when a structure gives out, so standing under a cracking roof is not shelter.
What to do in the 30-second head start
- ›Pick a solid interior, not an open or damaged one.
- ›Stay in one warm corner instead of moving between buildings.
- ›Do not go exploring for a better building once the snow starts.
If you are already caught out: Get inside the nearest intact building and stay put. Moving again after you are inside is what gets players caught when a structure comes down.
Worst maps for it: Open maps with flimsy structures — Jungle Pyramids and the Golden Gate crossing.
Surviving is half preparation and half knowing the map — see the map list and the round guide for the 30-second head start.
Other disasters
The Moon Falls
The moon drops toward Earth in stages. The sea first surges in and out, burning chunks fall from the sky, and gravity weakens until loose objects and players start lifting off the ground.
The Sun Disappears
A permanent deep freeze sets in while the power grid fails. The map goes dark and cold rather than being torn apart, so the round is lost to exposure in the open rather than to one big hit.
A 500 m Mega Tsunami
A wave that grows as it approaches and drags players off the coast. The water arrives later than the warning does, so the 30-second head start is the entire survival window.
Earth Enters a Mega Storm
A storm that tracks wind speed as it builds — the HUD climbs toward 150 KM/H — and then starts roping out tornadoes. The banner's own name for the late stage is that the storm never ends.
Earth Loses Its Atmosphere
Windows break, the wind tears loose everything not fixed, the sun burns without protection and the oceans boil. With no air pressure there is no sound, which removes the usual audio warning.
It Rains for 1,000 Years
The rain does not stop. The HUD counts the downpour forward by months and then years while the water level climbs, until the map is an island and pieces of it break off.
