Pudge Wars is a ten-player custom game in a 5 versus 5 team game.

Gameplay

• Each player controls a Pudge with only one spell to use: Meat Hook.
• The teams faces off on a square map divided by an uncrossable river.
• Kill players to level up and spend ability points to upgrade the damage, radius, distance and speed of your hook.
• Buy custom items such as the Grappling Hook to help you secure even more kills.
• Headshot - Instantly kill Pudge by hitting a hook when he is already being hooked by another player.

Objective

• The first team to get 50/75/100 kills wins the game.

Tips

• Always try to get a Headshot.

• Gold - Gives 500 gold to the Pudge that hooked it.
• Shield Barrier - Creates a shield around the Pudge that hooked it that deals 100 damage per second to enemies and allies.

• Thunder - When a pudge hooks the Thunder Rune his hook will be charged with thunder, making his hook spawn lightning on hit.
