note that "ping" sound you often hear when players shoot indicates that he hit the enemy.

quick glossary of QL abbreviations and terms:

YA - Yellow Armor (gives you 50 armor, the 2nd best armor item)

RA - Red Armor (+100 armor, best armor item. equivalent in value to Mega Health)
Mega - Mega Health (+100 health)

(these 2 items, as they are the best, tend to be in areas that put you in a vulnerable position)


hitscan - weapons that are histcan have instant projectile speed, connects immediately to enemy


MG-Machine Gun (The gun you start out with when you spawn. Pretty weak. Hitscan)
LG-Lightning Gun (one of the 3 best weapons. medium/short range only. Hitscan)
RL-Rocket Launcher (one of the 3 best weapons, direct rockets deal much more damage than splash damage, you can hurt yourself, and you can rocket-jump (RJ) to give you a massive jump. Also known as rox. Non-hitscan)
Gauntlet (Basically a chainsaw. Unlimited ammo. You start out with it when you spawn. Hitscan)
SG-Shotgun (wide spread, so it's effective in short range only. Hitscan)
PG- (pros like to spam this to be annoying. hard to hit players with, yet deals good amage. non-hit scan)
RG-Rail Gun (one of the 3 best weapons. the best weapon to use at long distances (infinite range). deals great damage but very slow reload time. Hitscan)
GL- Grenade Launcher (Shoots grenades that blow up after a period of time. If you hit a person with a grenade, it blows up instantly. damage is effectively same as rockets. non-hitscan)

note on health and armor: Health's "soft" cap is 100, normal health items can only give you a max of 100. however Mega Health and health bubbles can give you up to 200 health

Armor's max is 200

both health and armor gradually fall down to 100 if you have over 100. You start with 0 Armor and about 125 health
for the bottom HUD: first number is Health, then Armor, and Ammo.
