First-match plan
Read the full guide Hood Rivals beginner guide: choose a mode and review your first match
Start with a format that matches your group: 1v1 for one opponent, 2v2 or 3v3 for small teams, or test Team Deathmatch, Free For All, and Gun Game when you want a broader lobby. The creator confirms that levels unlock guns, cases contain cosmetic categories, and global boards track Kills, Level, Wins, and Streak. It does not publish the XP curve, gun unlock levels, weapon statistics, case odds, or ranked rules, so use the live match and post-match screens to record only what your current session shows.
