Combat

Combat in [Second Life] is a very fun and active hobby. This article will try to teach you exactly how Second Life combat works.

Introduction

Some areas of Second Life are designed for the sole purpose of combat. In these areas, you will have a health meter. This is a heart with a percentage next to it on your upper menu bar. When you see this meter, you can be killed. If you are killed, this percentage will drop to zero and you will be teleported to your home location.

The public combat areas are Rausch, Blue Base, and Red Base. These 3 sims are free-for-all sandboxes. There is a "safe zone" in the North-East corner of Rausch where you can't be attacked. (Please note that the "bases" are not really "bases" for anyone. They are still free-for-all.)

The fastest way to find these regions is to type "combat" into the places search.

Engagement

In second life you have a vast array of weapons, combat vehicles, and defense mechanisms at your disposal.
