Steel 'n' Gold
Bandits are invading the peaceful town of Copper Bend. Are you going to join their rows or are you going to arms to defend the town's riches?
Steel 'n' Gold is a Western-style PvP game world, created by VRChat. It originally launched in July 2017, and was remastered using Udon in February 2023. In Steel 'n' Gold, you can choose to be on either two teams: Bandits, or Sheriffs. Both teams are armed with revolvers with limited ammunition that can be reloaded. The objective for the sheriffs is to prevent gold from getting stolen, and will lose the game if every bar of gold gets taken back to the bandits' base. The objective for the bandits, is to break into buildings and crack open safes to retrieve gold from the safes, and bring it back to their base before the time runs out. The sheriff team wins if the bandits fail to retrieve every bar of gold.
In addition to the Sheriff being able to use their revolvers, sheriffs can capture bandits at close range using rope, which will warp the bandit inside of a jail cell. Bandits can use dynamite to lob at the sheriffs, or to destroy the jail cell, freeing any teammates locked inside. Stage hazards for Steel 'n' Gold include stationary containers of explosives that will frag anyone within its blast radius. A fast-moving train runs a straight line down the middle of Copper Bend, which will frag anyone in its direct path; the freight also have containers of explosives, which can be shot at to frag those near by.
Losing all of your health points will revive you back at your team's base. Both team bases have a trapdoor that can be used to bypass an alternative route, instead of exiting from any of the regular base exits. This promotes strategy, and reduces spawncamping or puppy-guarding.
