All 43 Special Rounds in Evade

Special rounds add a rule to Evade's normal chase. Every third round can flip your controls, fill the map with gray fog, force you to keep moving, or send a named nextbot swarm after the lobby. The harder the gimmick, the more your loadout matters.

Public specials sit on top of the same survival loop, not a separate mode. You still need to last the round, but the rules change how you move, what you can see, how crowded the map gets, or which nextbots show up. VIP servers can force the same public specials from the private panel; the public pool is what normal lobbies roll through.

Think in four buckets. Player modifiers change speed, jumping, controls, gear, or how players affect one another. Environment specials add fog or make a nextbot appear when one downs someone. Nextbot modifiers change speed or spawn count. Featured rounds replace the usual mix with named bots, from Bobo packs to Plushie Hell's CatJard and Wolf Rebel flood.

The public pool also has rules that change what you do: Imposter gives one player an AK-47 while nextbots ignore them; Randomizer shuffles utilities and lights; Swap moves players about every 12 seconds; Keep Moving drains 10 HP each second if you stop; Green Aura damages nearby players; Permadeath makes deaths permanent; Red Light Green Light deals 50 damage every 0.25 seconds if you move while the sky is red; Fog covers the map in gray mist.

Multipliers and when to lean in

Reward multipliers boost a special round’s payout. Plushie Hell pays the highest bonus (×2) and fills the map with two of the fastest bots. Cat Jard (×1.7) and Lurking / Super Munci (×1.6) are pure speed pressure with lower counts. Angry Munci sits at ×1 and is a fast, low-count chase. Its tagline says hiding won't save you, so keep moving and break sightlines early. Spotlight specials like Survive The Slasher, Damnation, 3D Rampage, and Trollge are chaos first; know your exits before you farm.

Loadouts that actually help

• Darkness / Fog / Damnation / Survive The Slasher: Night Vision helps when fog or darkness cuts visibility.
• Imposter: Watch for the AK-47. Nextbots ignore the Imposter, but they cannot be revived by teammates.
• Randomizer: Be ready to use whatever utilities and lights the round gives you.
• Swap: Carrying a downed teammate blocks the position swap; sometimes the round drops you behind yourself instead.
• Keep Moving / Green Aura: Keep moving and leave space between teammates.
• Red Light Green Light: Stop when the sky turns red. Moving on red can cost 50 damage every quarter second.
• Permadeath: Take fewer risks. A death is permanent.
• No Jumping: Ground routes, slides, and mobility items matter more than vault paths.
• Reversed Controls: Slow your inputs; panic strafes get you tagged.
• Angry Munci / Lurking: Break sightlines early. The fastest packs punish late turns.
• Incursion: Rebels open fire on sightlines, so cover and corner peeks beat wide open running.
• Infection: Early downs grow the bot count; play safer early so the lobby does not snowball.

Featured floods and speed modifiers

Double and Triple Trouble multiply the normal spawn count and close safe corners without changing which bots can spawn. Faster and Super Fast Nextbots change chase pace. Featured rounds replace the usual mix with a named cast: Cat Party packs Kitten Jard and Kitten Bobo, while spotlight specials like Baldi's Basics, Defect, Oswald, and The Eyeless put one family front and center. Spawn counts often scale with server size, so a normal count and a large-server range can both be right.

Mistakes that waste the round

• Treating every high multiplier as "just run faster" when the gimmick is visibility or permanent deaths in Survive The Slasher.
• Ignoring taglines: Incursion hinges on sightlines, Angry Munci is too fast to hide from, and Mimicry can look like a teammate.
• Saving Night Vision for later, then rolling Fog or Darkness without it.
• Camping vertical spots in Survive The Gubbies when Gubbies can jump high.
• Assuming a lower multiplier means a safe round. Fast packs and player rules can still wipe the lobby.

Pick tools for the rule that just appeared, not the round you wish you had. Movement rules reward clean inputs; Fog and Darkness reward Night Vision; featured swarms reward knowing which bot family just owned the map.
