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.

Jump Binding
