Powerups
Quake Live has two primary powerups: Quad Damage and Regeneration. Not all maps include powerups. Powerup availability depends on map and gametype configuration.
Quad Damage
Quad Damage multiplies the carrier’s outgoing damage by 4 for its duration (30 seconds). It is a map pickup at a fixed spawn location. The carrier is visually marked with a blue glow. All weapons deal quadrupled damage while active.
The respawn timer is 60 seconds after pickup.
Regeneration
Regeneration heals the carrier over time for its duration. Less common than Quad on standard competitive maps.
Haste
Haste increases the carrier’s movement speed and weapon fire rate for its duration. Present on some maps.
Spawn Timers
| Powerup | Duration | Respawn |
|---|---|---|
| Quad Damage | 30 seconds | 60 seconds after pickup |
| Regeneration | 30 seconds | 60 seconds after pickup |
| Haste | 30 seconds | 60 seconds after pickup |
