Event Mechanics

The DUELS Event activates the Duels Machine near the Coin Shop: Interact to invite a player (server/friends/global username). Opponent accepts; both teleport to private server with only their bases. Select/wager 1 Brainrot each (values displayed, ideally match for fairness). Confirm (5s timer, green READY button); duel starts as best-of-5—first to steal opponent's wager 3 times wins. Use all rebirth-unlocked gears (no restrictions). Winner auto-receives loser's Brainrot; both return to public server (rejoin to secure). Admin Abuse spawns Lucky Blocks, Cerberus, hazards. Cerberus: High-value Secret ($150B cost, $175M/s income) from blocks/events.
