"Teamkilling" refers to, in any shape or form, the intentional or retaliatory injuring and/or killing of team members and is prohibited. Violations may lead to consequences, such as a ban.
This sub-rule refers to, in any shape or form, the intentional or retaliatory damaging of team members, vehicles, assets, or such, and is prohibited. The aforementioned is also prohibited within the team spawn location. Violations may lead to consequences, such as a ban.
General Rule: Players are permitted to be in proximity to the enemy base or safe zone but must maintain a moderate distance. This distance is generally considered to be approximately 400 meters. The distance that your target is from their base matters just the same. Players must not enter the enemy base or safe zone and should avoid having a direct line of sight into the safe zone.
Small Maps: On smaller maps, where the spawn zones are within 400 meters of the main play area, players should focus their activity around the scoring circle or central objectives. Camping near spawn zones in these cases is strictly prohibited.
Special Scenarios: On maps with unique layouts, such as an airport runway with a clear line of sight to the spawn zone at 900 meters, it is still considered spawn camping if players have a direct line of sight to the spawn zone or safe zone. In such cases, players must adjust their positions to eliminate direct visibility into these areas.
Helicopter vs Helicopter Interaction: Shooting at helicopters that are exiting the 400m spawn protection zone, even if you’re outside the protection zone and don’t have line of sight to the enemy spawn is considered a rule violation. - You are therefore not allowed to camp just outside the enemy spawn, waiting for helicopters to leave spawn protection. This is reviewed in a case by case basis.
"Spawn-camping" is defined as intentionally positioning at or near hostile spawn locations (hereinafter: "spawn area") to repeatedly kill and/or harass players as they respawn and attempt to re-enter the area of operations (hereinafter: "zone") and is prohibited. Violations may lead to consequences, such as removal from the location or a ban. Players are encouraged to use the ruler tool that comes with the in-game map to check the distance regularly.
General Rule
Players are permitted to be in the proximity of a hostile spawn area, but they must maintain a moderate distance of approximately 400 meters from that spawn area and not specifically focus on said spawn area with exceptions of, for example, ambushes along infrastructure. Players are not allowed to enter a hostile spawn area and may not have a line-of-sight into that spawn area either.
Small Maps
On smaller maps, where the spawn area is within 400 meters of the zone, players should focus their activity around the zone.
Special Scenarios
On maps with a unique scenario layout, such as an airport runway with a clear line-of-sight at a spawn area at approximately 900 meters, for example in map scenario "St. Philipe", it is also prohibited even when players are located at a distance of approximately 400 meters away from a hostile spawn area. When players find themselves in such situations, they must cease their operations and reposition immediately.
X-vs-Helicopter Engagement
Engaging hostile helicopters which are exiting the approximate 400 meter spawn area protection buffer, even when players are located approximately 400 meters away from the spawn area without any line-of-sight on said spawn area, is also prohibited. Players are therefore not allowed to set up operations just outside of the spawn area, to ambush hostile helicopters leaving their spawn area protection buffer.
This sub-rule refers to, in any shape or form, intentionally exploiting the team spawn area's protection buffer, to engage hostiles from within said spawn-protection. Engaging in combative operations from within that spawn-protection is prohibited. Players may only return to the safezone when out of direct combat. Violations may lead to consequences, such as a ban.
It is not allowed to use a helicopter to intentionally ram other helicopters/vehicles or infrastructure. Violations may lead to consequences, such as a ban.

"Stream-sniping" refers to, in any shape or form, the intentional and malicious use of information from another player's stream, such as from Twitch, YouTube, or so, to gain an unfair advantage and/or to disrupt their gameplay, which is prohibited and may lead to consequences, such as a ban.
"Ghosting/Meta-gaming" refers to, in any shape or form, the intentional and malicious sharing of team information, not limited to the team's in-game chat/VoIP channels, team members' positions, and such, with hostile players so that an unfair advantage is gained and/or to disrupt team members, is prohibited.
