[Open Assets] Ringslinger Revolution v1.1

Ringslinger Revolution is a complete overhaul of the long-played Ringslinger gamemodes, bringing a brand new experience both to your Singleplayer and Multiplayer games and to your modding experience if you so decide!


IMPORTANT: Make sure to load ZRSR_RingslingerRevolution-v1.pk3 BEFORE loading any additional RSR content!



Fight your friends to the death, for score and… not much else! The vanilla Ringslinger maps, retooled to support Ringslinger Revolution’s rules, are included as a separate download so that you can get to fighting right away!


Ringslinger Revolution majorly shakes up the Ringslinger gameplay formula by using a health and armor system reminiscent of FPS classics like Doom and Quake. You start with a hundred health and no armor, and take damage from being attacked by your enemies. Keep your armor topped up to partially mitigate hits and sustain your Shield effect, and keep your health above zero… or you will die!

The weapons in RSR bring not just power, but also punch to the table. Feel the weight of every attack as more powerful hits knock you back into potentially disadvantageous positions… or maybe give you a free trip to the death screen.

It wouldn’t be Ringslinger without rings to sling, would it? The full arsenal makes a return, albeit altered to fit the new combat systems. Getting a new weapon is as simple as finding it anywhere on the field, no panels needed! Though do make sure to seek out panels if boatloads of ammo’s what’s on your mind.


Boring, weak, and impractical, but the beloved red ring of death will always be there for you in a pinch. Chances are wherever you are, you’ll find ammo for it.

"Accuracy by volume" is the name of the game, and if you’re a good shot, you might down an opponent incredibly quickly! Mind the ammo count, because these fire fast.

Hunting someone down, or did they get too close for comfort? Introduce them to the slow-firing wide-spread Scatter Ring, which packs both serious power and punch.

Unleash high damage over an area, for when you need to make absolutely sure to hit something. Fling your foes around as you please… and yourself, too!

Set traps, bombard those below you from high ground, and show off your skills by landing the impractical but legendary direct hit. Not one of you’s gonna survive this!

Have you found yourself in a tight space? Toss a few (or many, I’m not judging) ricocheting rings and cause chaos as your opponents fail to dodge them all.

This low supply of heat-seeking projectiles will mercilessly chase your opponents down! Do you feel daring enough to try and dodge these?

For the first time in Ringslinger, you are a weapon! Jump and spin into your enemies to get them off you in a pinch… weapons run out of ammo, but your fists don’t!

It’s not just movement and weapons… you’re sure to appreciate the assistance of the many buffs strewn around the arena.


Providing resistance to acid, fire, and drowning, leave fire trails as you spin for unwary opponents to tread on, or use your Elemental Stomp as a crushing melee blow!

An unstoppable force with your double jump, and an immovable object with the resistance to knockback this shield grants you.

The competition will think twice about shooting this shield, for it is harder to break and reflects all incoming projectiles! Watch out for explosives, which it cannot block.

It’s not just you that gets faster - these stylish shoes accelerate both you and your ringslinging rate! Burn through your opponents and your ammo in record time!

Sometimes all you need is boring but practical. The Super Ring and Pity Shield will fully restore your health and armor, respectively.

Returning with no changes, use the Teleporter or Recycler to scramble everyone’s positions or loadouts, respectively. You’re never safe...

Rumor has it that the arena contains three items of unmatched power… one random monitor giving only the strongest powerups, and two rings with wild effects…


Becoming shock-proof is only this shield’s secondary function: rather than seeking rings, it allows you to lock onto players for a targeted homing attack! Getting a kill with this technique fully restores your armor, but be careful, as taking too much damage will break your lock and send you flying…

Surely they must be mad to attack you while you have this? The Armageddon Shield unleashes a devastating blast when broken, but can also be manually detonated for a surprise attack that additionally repairs your armor!

Go beyond what was thought possible! It’ll take a while to get through 200 health and armor! Mind the death pits though.

What’s scarier than an invulnerable player you can do nothing but run from for half a minute? An invulnerable player who also deals tripled melee damage on contact…

You only get one shot. This instantly-travelling shot will instantly remove anything in a straight line, from anywhere on the map! Just don’t miss…

Ammo… UNLIMITED AMMO! Your expenses stop being a problem for half a minute when you pick up this fearsome thing!


Ringslinger comes to singleplayer! Go it alone or with friends to get through a platformer level as usual, only this time you’ll have RSR’s array of weapon rings to collect and powerups to find as you fight enemies and progress through the stage. One such stage, Techno Madness, is bundled together as a separate download here! The stage is immediately accessible from the Secret Levels section in the Extras section.
