General Modifications[edit | edit source]

Positional Audio[edit | edit source]

"Each participant can only talk to and hear others in which they are close to."

Positional Audio is a basic modification that emulates real life voice proximity by only allowing each player to hear those they are within a certain proximity to. This is a popular modification to make, typically combined with Reduced Knowledge, to add extra suspense to a season.

This is often achieved with using Mumble's Positional Audio feature or with the Simple Voice Chat Mod.

Reduced Knowledge[edit | edit source]

Each participant is prohibited from viewing the chat or the server list. This limits knowledge of deaths and achievements to only what the person has experienced, seen or heard about.

Reduced Knowledge is a basic game rule change that limits the player to only knowing about what they have personally experienced, seen or heard about because they are not allowed to see the chat or server player list. The chat and server player list can spoil who is dead or alive. This is often combined with Positional Audio.

This is achieved with turning off chat in the game settings (Options/Chat Settings/Chat: Hidden) as well as removing the ability to see the server's player list in the game settings (Options/Controls/Key Binds/List Players/escape key).
