Getting Started
Reflex has three distinct rulesets that change weapon behavior, movement constants, and match settings simultaneously. The same game mode on different rulesets plays differently enough that choosing a ruleset is a prerequisite to finding the right server.
Finding Games
Matchmaking exists but is not used by the active playerbase. Use the Server Browser in-game and the community Discords.

Primary activity is in Duel. FFA and TDM servers are more active in evenings and on weekends.
Rulesets
Three rulesets are active:
| Ruleset | Region | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Competitive | EU dominant | CR2 values. 10-minute duels. |
| Sushi | NA dominant | Higher jump height, higher gravity, lower friction. Tighter weapon trace radii. Authored by Soh. |
| Casual | Mixed | Competitive movement values. 5-minute matches. Item timers visible. |
The Server Browser displays the ruleset for each listed server.
HUD
GoaHud is the standard community HUD.
Install path: Options > Addons > Explore Workshop > search “GoaHud” > Download > restart the game > Options > Widgets > GoaHud > Quick Enable GoaHud.
Recommended Settings
| CVAR | Value | Effect |
|---|---|---|
r_bloom | 0 | Disables bloom |
cl_predict_items | 0 | Prevents false item pickups not yet confirmed by server |
cl_input_subframe | 1 | Input polling at 1000 Hz, independent of framerate |
Jump Binding
Mouse2 (right-click) is the community-standard jump key. Jump queuing is supported: holding jump before landing registers the jump on ground contact.
