What is "Thunderdomed"?

[mikeambrose3 53]

I've read some cheat reports and I was curious, what does "Thunderdomed" mean? What happens when someone does this to a server?

A hacker activates this shit, and everyone on the server is teleported to a enclosed base with weapon crates and are meant to "fight to the death"

It comes from an old Mad Max movie called Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. "Two men enter! One man leaves!"

I'm actually really interested in that to happen for me lol

Although inconvenient, it sounds fun.

I noticed some people in that video grabbing weapons and just logging out. In my opinion, that's just as bad as hacking in the weapon yourself.

I have never had this happen to me, but I heard that when it does happen it is best to do one of these options:

Option 1:

Log Immiedately. You might be able to keep your equipment before you enter, but I am unsure of this. When you enter this hack, you lose all your stuff, but if you log fast enough you may be able to keep your stuff as it might not record to the hive.

Option 2:

Grab a gun and some loot and then log. The guns spawn in green ammo crates so aim from them and ignore going in the tents. I heard from some people that when you relog you will end up NW mostly at airfield.

Option 3: Just deathmatch it out if you are into that sort of thing.

The thing is is that you lose everything when this happens to you. At the very least, you recieve some compensation by getting a gun for yourself.

Just happened to me.. I was on a fairly active server, was exploring some random place then next thing I know I'm in middile of airport runway with about 8 other players with me. Few were dead already before I showed up managed to kill 1 before I died wounded 2 or 3 others. Might of been more fun had I not just finally found my first gun after hours of trying.. lol but guess at least I was lucky enough to have a gun..

Was that on DE 788? that just happened. I logged out before anyone could shoot me.

Honestly I'm not sure..I was on the server for about 1 hour and noticed quite a lot of guys seemed to be dying pretty often. I'm new to the game so I'm not sure how often people die, but I kept seeing a lot of death messages til finally it was mine.
