GUNGAME
Gun Game is a multiplayer video game mode first introduced as a Counter-Strike mod. It was later adapted in other first-person shooters, and became an official mode of the same name in the Call of Duty series; Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike 2 (under the name "Arms Race"); and Valorant (under the name "Escalation"), among other games. A single-player adaptation of Gun Game with close-combat weapons was modded into Dark Souls. The mode is a form of deathmatch or team deathmatch in which players attempt to kill random opponents, but with the added twist that each time the player scores a kill, their gun is immediately replaced with a more powerful one, cycling through the game's entire arsenal from weakest to strongest. The mode has been praised by critics as enjoyable and increasing the appeal of games that contain it due to the brevity of each Gun Game round, though it is noted to suffer more than typical game modes from players who AFK, becoming easy targets and potentially stacking the game towards otherwise worse players.
