Gameplay
Gamemodes
There are six total gamemodes; four of them are available for players to pick in a general server. All of them include two teams which are Devils and Ghosts. There is a sixth gamemode, infection, currently in development for the second game. Though it should be noted that infection is available to play for developers.
Team Deathmatch
A race between teams to get the most kills up to 200. One team wins if they reach a total of 200 kills or has the highest number of kills when the 15-minute time limit is reached.
Flare Domination
Flare Domination was the second gamemode to be added to the game. There are three capture points (A, B and C), which give teams points when captured. The more capture points a team owns, the faster a team's score increases. The first team to reach 200 points wins the round. If the timer reaches zero, one team with the most points wins.
King of the Hill
Both teams start with 600 points. The gamemode runs on a "health" style system; when a team controls the hill, the opposing team loses points. The first team to lose all their points or the team with the least points when the timer runs out loses the round.
Kill Confirmed
In this gamemode, when players are killed, they drop a Dog Tag. Phantoms and Ghosts must pick up a Dog Tag from the opposing team in order to score points. Like Team Deathmatch, kills play a huge role in this mode. If a team member collects another team member's Dog Tag, the kill will be denied.
Capture the Flag
In this gamemode, both teams must pick up the opposing team's flag and return it to their home base in order to score points. The first team to capture 5 flags or has the most flags captured before time runs out wins.
Infection
In this gamemode, one player is chosen to be infected while the other players try to defend themselves from those who are infected. After some time three portals shows up to save those who are not infected. It is worthy to note that those portals are in the same position as those capture points in Flare Domination. If no one is left not infected, the infected wins. If a survivor has traveled through a portal, the survivors wins. To those who won in this gamemode, they are awarded with a scythe. This gamemode is only accessible by developers who are using the command "/map:inf," as the gamemode is currently still in development for Devil's Brigade 2.
Weapons
There are many weapons to choose from in Devil's Brigade. Notably, the D3V1L is a developer-only weapon which can be 'punched' - or upgraded - into the D3V1L3R. The concept of punching is a developer-only tool, however it is in development for public usage in Devil's Brigade 2.
