Death Count / Respawn Condition

Often referred to as the 'Death Count' whether or not there's an actual countdown, this will outline the conditions by which a dead player may return to life by respawning.

Examples include:

• 45s On-Death: Players must wait 45 seconds after dying before respawning. The exact timer is often adjusted in 15s increments to suit the number of players and overall flow of the game.
• Wave Respawn: Players in a designated Dead Zone respawn on pre-set cycles every X seconds on a shared clock.
• Rally Respawn: Players may only respawn together when X other teammates are dead and gathered in a designated Dead Zone. The exact number of players required to respawn is determined by the Game Organizer based on the needs of the game.
• Instant Respawn: Players may respawn immediately upon reaching a certain location or meeting a certain condition, such as touching a tree or moving 50' away from living enemies.
