Every Volcano Erupts at Once
Lava rocks rain down and the ground splits open. There is no safe shoreline or corner: the damage arrives vertically first, then from below.

| How to survive | Shelter under solid cover beats running into the open, where falling rocks are unavoidable. Avoid standing over cracked ground once the splits start. |
How the round plays out
- 1.Lava rocks come down from above first, so the sky is the immediate threat.
- 2.The ground splits open underneath, which removes the ground-level answer.
- 3.Both continue together, so no single position stays safe for the whole round.
Where it kills you: Open ground under falling rock, and standing over a crack when it opens. Unlike the tsunami, climbing does not fix this one — cover does.
What to do in the 30-second head start
- ›Get under something solid rather than high. This is the scenario where a roof beats a rooftop.
- ›Avoid cracked ground as soon as it appears; it telegraphs where the splits run.
- ›Plan one backup cover nearby — the first one gets hit eventually.
If you are already caught out: Move under cover in short bursts and watch the sky between sprints. Crossing open ground in one run is what gets players hit.
Worst maps for it: Jungle Pyramids and Alpine Ski Resort — open terrain with long sightlines and little roof cover.
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 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.
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.
