Custom Maps/ Community Leaderboards

General:

• Records from those categories don't count towards World Record and Record trackers on your profiles.
• If mod/map creator wishes to be listed in rules section on the leaderboard, please contact Admin or Custom Maps Manager.
• Speedruns up to 15 minutes long can be played without the timer and be timed using YouTube or Twitch timer. But we strongly suggest using the timer.
• The use of any extra mods apart from the custom map itself is NOT ALLOWED. That includes custom characters, weapons packs, zombies counter, GubbleGum mods etc.
• If No Power challenge is played in Firstroom without opening any doors or barriers, gum loadout does not matter.
• For custom maps: Wanted, Leviathan & Mori, a 3rd party timer is optional, because they have a built-in timer appearing on the scoreboard. Timer not required when shown for 30/50/100/EE or Buyable End.
