Community:Pa00/Framed!

Framed! is a high-action, deception Roblox PvP game made by pa00. It got popular in its 1.0 Update when it had around 1,000,000 visits in the summer of 2014. As of January 15, 2021, the game has been updated with a brand new lobby, replacing the second iteration which had been present since 2015. Many maps were either revamped or had a newer version that could be played on. In addition, ambient music was now present in all rounds of the game. Since January the game has been updated a few times with the addition of newer maps and different weapon balances.



Gameplay
The game begins with two police, one undercover and all the others as Framed.

Framed
Your goal is to kill your target shown on the Check Target tool. On the Check Target tool it shows your targets face. At the same time, another framed player will be hunting you down too. You have to evade them any way you can. This could be going through vents, hiding, or carefully planning out routes so they don't have a chance to kill you. Always check your back

The framed come equipped with a Check Target tool to keep track of their target, a pistol of their choice, a knife, and glass of water to blend in with the crowd. The Luger is the default pistol, you can buy other pistols but all pistols behave the same. Using a weapon will display a "red handed" meter which shows you how long the police have to kill you prior to having your gun out.

A smart player will use this to their advantage. Hiding behind police as cover and searching out targets as well. As long as the player doesn't pull a weapon out, they are fine. Killing a player that is not the target will result in a "mistake", and the police have the authority to kill the player even if they are not caught "red handed". Killing another person that is not your hunter or target,  when you already have a mistake will result in you being killed. If you get too many mistakes in one server, it will result in you getting kicked. Killing an Undercover will net you a couple of points.

If the player manages to be the last framed alive, they have 45 seconds to get to a marked exit point that marks victory when reached. The Police and the Undercover are allowed to kill you during this time, so be careful.

Police
The two police needs to teamwork to stop red-handed players (Framed players who recently equipped a gun or a knife) and kill them. Police cannot kill players who are not red-handed which will be indicated by a red cross in the crosshair of their gun. If a framed kills another framed player that is not their target they become red-handed for the rest of the round and a white kill sign with an arrow will appear above their head. Police cannot harm undercover, if they shoot at them a text indication will appear notifying you of their role.

Undercover
As an Undercover, the goal is to team with the police to kill the red-handed framed players. However, as the Undercover looks just like a framed person this can be hard; that is why the Undercover player has a badge that shows he/she are an Undercover and not a framed. Any Framed person can kill you without being a mistake, so be careful when showing your badge. The Undercover is now equipped with a Check Target tool to blend in even better.



Points Shop
Pressing "F" as an officer of the law, or an agent framed, a portable shop will open. (On Framed Mobile it is available in the top right corner "Points Shop"). Shops require points which you get from killing your targets. You will receive two points for every person you kill.

There are 6 items in the shop (7 if you count every different item from both the shops) and they are.

Flashbang (both teams) Flashbangs are used to blind and deafen the players close to or looking towards it. It's useful but very situational for both sites. Costs 1 points.

Ballistic Vest (Cops/Police) The Ballistic Vest increases your HP. This is useful if you are a dude that holds out their gun 24/7. This item is only obtainable for the cops, not the framed. Costs 3 points

MP5 (both teams) Full Auto Sub-machine Gun which fires 30 bullets in one mag. Very useless at long ranges. It is much better at close range. Though it has been recently nerfed leaving the weapon in a terrible state. You're better off using a pistol. Costs 3 points.

Spas-12 (both teams) Semi Shotgun with slug rounds, Iron Sights are not as good, it is not very useful long range. In the new weapon balance update the damage has been increased, making it a very lethal weapon up close, one shot in the head and its over for you. Costs 3 points.

Bowie Knife (Framed) The Bowie Knife is your typical knife except it one hit kills anyone. Very useful at close range, but literally useless at long ranges. Cost 3 points.

Radar (Framed) Shows the location of your target. Costs 4 points.

Dragunov (both teams) Semi Sniper Rifle which instant-kills with one bullet and only houses 1 bullet in a magazine. Overkill at long ranges, still powerful at close ranges. However, in the recent weapon balance update it does not one shot kill anymore. Costs 5 points.

Weapon Stats

 * To fully eliminate a player with a regular pistol it will take 3 total headshots, if you aim at their torso it will take 4 total torso shots, and if you aim below the torso (Legs) it will take 5 total lower body shots.
 * To fully eliminate a player with the MP5 it takes 5 total headshots, if you aim at their torso it will take 6 total torso shots, and if you aim below the torso it takes around 8 total shots. The MP5 is an automatic weapon and these stats were tested one shot at a time, not rapid fire. Results may vary.
 * To fully eliminate a player with the standard knife it will take one backstab, or 2 front stabs.
 * To fully eliminate a player with the Spas-12 it will take 1 headshot, if you aim around the torso and lower torso it could take up to 4 shots. Results vary based on close range or far range.
 * To fully eliminate a player with the Dragunov it will take 1 headshot or 2 body shots.

Game-modes

 * Framed: See Gameplay.
 * Hunted Man: Takes place on any map that the ordinary mode can be played on. There will be one Hunted man at any instant while the others are Framed. The framed players goal is to kill the hunted man meaning that all the framed players have the same target. The hunted man's goal is to kill a framed before the framed realize you are the person to be killed. The hunted man changes once someone dies. If you attempt to kill the wrong person, you will take health damage, in incriminates of 10% per shot or knife slash. This can add up quickly so it can get tricky.
 * Double Agents: Takes place on any map the ordinary mode can be played on. There will be up to four Double Agents and the rest are Framed. The objective is to find the Double Agents and kill them. The difficulty is that they are disguised as Framed as well, so you cannot tell the difference until they act out. If you are a Double Agent, you should see the word 'Friendly' on the other Double Agents heads as well, meaning that they are on your side. If you are a framed and attempt to kill another framed person, this will result in your death immediately. This mode was removed in 2021 possibly due to the high levels of confusion this mode was giving to many players.
 * City Chase: This took place in a very large map filled with Vintage Cars. Half of the players being Police and the other half being Framed. The goal is to kill all the players of the opposing team. Each round is 220 seconds long. The cars have been removed due to a glitch that made them unable to turn. This mode was removed in 2020 in order to streamline the experience and possibly due to the large size of the map.
 * Classic Framed: Similar to the framed round except that there is no Epilogue, meaning either the last Framed alive wins or if the time runs out, the police wins. This mode has been removed from the game as of May 17th, 2017.
 * On The Run: In this round there are two Police in a Helicopter near the end with a Dragunov in a map similar to the one used for City Chase. The rest of the players will be Framed. The objective is for the Framed to be the first to get to the Escape Point to win while the Police needs to take down every single Framed to win. Any of the Police will die if they fall off the helicopter. This mode has been discontinued since Christmas 2015, possibly due to the difficulty of the police winning.
 * Team Elimination: Very similar to City Chase, excluding the City Chase map and the special weapons. Team Elimination takes place in a random selection of regular Framed maps. Each team (Police and Framed) is equipped with their selected pistol and knife. (Though, special weapons like Dragunov and MP5 can still be obtained through the "F" shop). Both teams spawn on opposite sides of the map and must eliminate each other and the last surviving member of either team will win for their team. However, the teams can result to becoming unbalanced at times, typically there are more people on the Police team than the Framed team. This mode was added to the game in the Summer 2021 update, possibly to add more variety to the game modes since before this mode there were only 2.
 * Impostor Mode: This took place on any map that the ordinary mode can be played on. There was an impostor and they would go around eliminating regular Framed, while the Framed would have to hunt down the impostors. This mode is identical to the Double Agents mode. pa00 noted in his Discord group that the Impostor mode is, "literally the same as double agents just called impostor because then people immediately know how to play it". This mode was added to the game on August 18th, 2021 and removed the next day on August 19th, 2021 possibly due to the amount of negative feedback it receivedImpostorPNG.png
 * No Secrets: No Secrets takes place on any map that the regular mode is played on. The player is given two targets to hunt. The player is also being hunted by their targets. Its essentially the opposite of Regular Framed, in this mode your hunters are exposed. This mode was added to the game on October 26th, 2021.



Tips and Tricks

 * It is always recommended if you are bad player as Framed, the best way is to stick with the Police. Don't try and kill the police until the very end; it's impossible to do so until there are less than three Framed people remaining.
 * Don't kill your target if it is beside one or more people with a Knife. Otherwise, those other people may end up being killed by you and they will most likely be not your hunter and you most likely become a Police Target.
 * If you kill someone that is not your target or hunter, you will become a Police Target. The Police will then be free to kill you whether you are armed or not. The Police will see a White "Kill" sign with an arrow on your head when this happens.
 * Performing a backstab using the knife on any target will instantly kill them except for the Police until there are less than three Framed people remaining. Using a Bowie Knife will instantly kill the person in whatever direction you stab him.
 * If you are the Police, mark the Undercover to know where he/she is and try to stay as close to them to prevent the Framed from killing him/her. Also, when it's down to the last few Framed, guard them to prevent them from dying. However, be aware that you can be killed too so make sure you are alert!
 * The Undercover does not have a knife, as such, don't go too close to any Framed as they may mistake you as their hunter. Undercover are equipped with a fake check target, it is identical to the Framed check target, without a target. Also, do not fire at the Framed if they do not have a weapon; this may mislead them into thinking you are their hunter. However, some skilled players do this and strategically make Framed pull out their weapons.
 * Once there are three Framed left together with the Undercover who are still alive, all of them will have a 'Kill' Sign on top of their heads. Thus, there is no point trying to hide if your one of the above. However, the game will not tell you who is a Framed or Undercover forcing you to decipher which type of the remaining people are they.
 * In Hunted Man, it is advisable to have your gun out at all times. Also, check your target in a deserted area or you may be caught in the crossfire and end up dying without having time to look at who is the hunted man.
