Status effects are temporary weapon-induced conditions that alter the player's properties and stats.

Beneficial status effects aid the player in some way. Positive status effects can be self-created or due to a teammate's action.



ÜberCharge

An ÜberCharged player is invulnerable to all forms of damage other than environmental hazards such as trains and falling into deep pits. ÜberCharged players can be identified by their bright team-colored shimmer and glowing eyes.
