Admin Abuse is an arena event on Lifesteal. A corrupted ex-admin "logs in", his staff team floods the arena in waves, and then he fights the server himself as The Administrator, whose health bar reads OPERATOR://CORRUPTED. The event is started by the server team; the Admin Shard Shop says it runs on Saturdays. It is switched off on every other gamemode. The full Lifesteal guide is Admin Abuse.
Commands#
| Command | Alias | Effect |
|---|---|---|
/adminabuse join | /abuse join | While an event is running, enters you for the rewards and warps you to the arena |
/adminabuse shop | /abuse shop | Opens the Admin Shard Shop |
You can join at any point while the event runs; using the command again just warps you back to the arena. With no event running you get "There is no Admin Abuse event running right now."
Running order#
| Phase | What happens | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Intro | Chat announces the event and title cards play on every Lifesteal server. This is the time to join; the action bar counts down the last 10 seconds before the arena opens. | 3 minutes |
| Awakening | The spawn totems in the arena light up one by one. | A few seconds |
| Waves | 8 waves of mobs. A wave ends when all its mobs are dead, and the next one starts a few seconds later. | Up to 2 minutes 30 seconds per wave |
| Boss | The Administrator spawns after wave 8. | Up to 12 minutes |
| Ban | He is "re-banned for 7 days" in chat. | 8 seconds |
| Finale | An envoy drops (the "Admin Remnants") and players in the arena are sent back to spawn. | Until every crate is claimed, at most 12 minutes |
| Close | Raffle, participation and pity rewards are paid. |
A wave that is not cleared within 2 minutes 30 seconds is removed and the next wave starts. The whole event closes after 45 minutes at the latest.
Waves#
Each wave has 20 mobs plus 6 per player, at least 40 and at most 750. Players counted are everyone who joined or is in the arena when the waves begin. The mobs are themed as staff ranks, attack only players and drop no vanilla loot. Health grows by 10% each wave, and later waves bring more of the higher tiers.
| Tier | Health in wave 1 | Damage | Drop chance per kill | Drop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trainee | 30 | 4 | 6% | Common enchant rune |
| Helper | 40 | 5 | 12% | Uncommon enchant rune |
| Moderator | 55 | 6.5 | 14% | Rare enchant rune |
| Manager | 75 | 8 | 18% | Legendary enchant rune |
| Administrator | 110 | 10 | 25% | Cash pouch, plus a 5% chance of a high-tier crate key |
Every kill also has a 20% chance to give 2 Admin Shards. Drops go to the player who landed the killing blow. A crate key drop is announced to the whole gamemode.
The boss#
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Health | 1,200 plus 40 per player |
| Damage | 8 per hit |
| Rage | Once, when a hit takes it below half health: it heals to full, hovers out of reach for 6 seconds, then comes back 40% faster and hitting 50% harder ("RAGE MODE") |
| Time limit | 12 minutes; if it is still alive then, it escapes ("CONNECTION LOST") |
Damage you deal to the boss earns payout rolls: one roll per 150 damage, up to 3 rolls. When the boss dies, each roll has a 50% chance to pay a cash pouch. If the boss escapes, there are no boss payouts.
Finale and raffle#
During the finale every envoy crate you claim has a 10% bonus chance to also pay a cash pouch; see Envoy.

| Participation | Every participant | 5 Admin Shards |

Admin Shard Shop#
/adminabuse shop sells a high-tier crate key for 50 Admin Shards. Admin Shards are items, so keep them in your inventory when you buy. Shards are only earned in this event. The key opens Lifesteal's high-tier crate; see Crates and Admin Shard.
