Updated! WorldsOur worlds are waiting for you to conquer them. But this season, to enforce a bit more action, we will be going a step back to 4 worlds, instead of 5.
We will be having a total of 16 corners with 4 worlds, and those worlds are the following:
There will be a total of 20 corners, these being the following: Overworld |  The End |  Pirate World | Wild West World |

New! MinigamesIntroducing the new minigames: we now have 5 exciting minigames that start randomly every hour.
Compete in these minigames for a chance to earn a minigame lootbag filled with amazing rewards.
Each minigame will start with 10 players and has a maximum of 24 players per game.
Minigames last a maximum of 10 minutes, except the Sumo event.
Jump in, show your skills, and enjoy the fun while earning great prizes!
The following 5 minigames have been added for this new season:
 Spleef |  Last Man Standing | Free for All |  One in the Quiver |  Sumo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A classic minigame. Spawn on top of a layer of snow, and eliminate your opponents by breaking the snow blocks below them. Breaking snow blocks gives you snowballs that you can throw at players or blocks as well. | Time for a brawl. Everyone will spawn in with the same loadout, and then it is time to fight till there is only 1 player standing. | A more casual version of the LMS event. In Free for All (FFA), you fight to get the most kills within 5 minutes. The player with the most kills after 5 minutes wins. Upon dying you will respawn. | Another classic minigame. Use your bow to one-shot players, and get an arrow as a refund. If you miss you will have to go into a melee fight to get another arrow. The player with the most kills after 5 minutes wins. Upon dying you will respawn. | A bracket-style minigame. Each time two players are standing on the platform, and their goal is to knock the other player off. The winner continues and the loser gets eliminated, until there is only 1 sumo champion. |
New! PvP Warp
The Warp Soccer has been removed and replaced with a brand new Warp FPS!
This new addition features a flat-style PVP arena where you can fight out your battles.
Get ready to experience a brand new PVP arena, specially designed for intense battles between every Faction.
The difference is, that if people are too scared, they can run straight back in to safety, which is great meme material for the great PVPer Factions, am I right?
Updated! Raiding OutpostThe Raiding Outpost has been a great success since it's release, and has given Factions a great boost over the other Factions, however we want to fine-tune this Outpost a little bit by making it possible to go in to the counter-attack before the capper Faction gains rewards.
To increase the action, the grace period has been reduced from 30 minutes to 15 minutes.
This means that the faction capturing the raiding outpost now only needs to defend it for 15 minutes to earn rewards.
Updated! Coin FlipIntroducing the Coinflip Stats. You can now view a player's coinflip statistics in the /coinflip menu.
Here, you'll see their wins, losses, and win-loss ratio, along with the total amount of money they've won and lost this season.
This feature covers all flip types, including souls and exp flips.
Track your performance and compare with others to see who's the best at coinflips!
Updated! Quests RewardsA small update has been made to the Quest Rewards.
We've updated them to include more PVP loadout rewards.
This means you can always jump right into the action, equipped and ready for intense battles.
Complete quests to earn powerful gear and items that will give you an edge in PVP combat. Get ready to dominate the new warzone with your new rewards!
Updated! Damage CalculationNow about the damage calculation: to balance PVP, we have changed how damage is calculated.
The multipliers for your sets and weapons no longer get boosted by strength.
Instead, the damage is multiplied without the strength multiplier, and then the damage from strength is added as flat damage after the calculation.
This means you can no longer instantly burst down a player in two hits with strength.
Updated! Infinite Chests & TNT Collectors
A small update on InfiniteChests and TNT Collectors: we've removed the timer for collecting or selling, as well as the storage upgrade.
They now have unlimited storage and no waiting time between collecting and selling.
Updated! Aesthetic OverhaulWe believe that change is essential for growth and development.
At PikaNetwork, our style is always evolving, and we aim to ensure that our OpFactions game keeps pace.
This season, we've given OpFactionsa major aesthetic overhaul.
Here's what's new:
- In-depth Help Commands: We've enhanced our help commands for certain features to make them easier for players to understand and use.
- Hologram Styling: We've revamped the styling of our holograms to give them a fresh, new look.
- Messages: We've updated all our messages to make them clearer and more informative.
- Menus: We've also refreshed the styling of some existing help menus.
