Bombing Run - Instagib Bombing Run

Instagib Bombing Run

Instagib Bombing Run is a variation of traditional Bombing Run which uses only the Shock Rifle and gives the players the ability to kill another player with one shot. Team damage is turned off so that one does not kill his/her own teammates. When reading posts in forums, normal BR versus instagib BR are often abbreviated IG BR (or iBR) and NW BR, for InstaGib and NormalWeapons. The instagib community once consisted of upwards of a dozen various clans and was extremely competitive. Of the dozen or so clans that once existed, only four remain somewhat active, Deadly Breed, ToD, ROTS, and TMWB. These were some of the very first clans as well.

iBR can be played with several mutators which allows for faster more dynamic gameplay and a lot more of blood is spilled during a match, because one shot kills. During the beginnings of iBR in the USA, servers were generally set to 135% speed, Translocator = True, Low Gravity, and .35 Air-Control. After a few years and the popularization of Arena maps, multi-wall-dodge became popular as well, but the gravity, speed, and air settings generally remain the same. Due to the combination of settings and the ability to dodge (a dodge in UT is the ability to suddenly jump to one side), one may see this form of iBR as a graceful ballet of skilled self passing and artful moves in an attempt to carry the ball through the goal.
