The Black Mark is a Throwing gadget introduced in the 11.1.0 update.

Appearance

It looks like a black and white coin with a skull. The opposite side of the coin has the colors inverted.

Performance

When a player throws the Black Mark they throw it from their right hand. When it lands on a player, they get the black mark above them until the player (or a different player) kills them, or if the duration runs out. If the user of this gadgets kills them, they gain an extra 100 points for doing so. A black mark logo emblem will appear on the top of a player if that player is black-marked.

As well, if the gadget does not hit the player directly, a small amount of area damage will be inflicted.

Strategy

Tips

• Throw it at a player, then kill that player as soon as possible.
  • Otherwise, other players may kill the player and get the points, or the black mark might expire.
• When you see a player with a Black Mark emblem on the top of him/her, kill that player as fast as you can to gain points.
• Due to how the point system is used for determining a winner, it is useful in Duels by giving the user a point advantage over his/her opponent.
• This is a good weapon for Deathmatch because you will receive a points advantage.
• Try to not throw one on a skilled player, as it will make it harder to get the points. Throw it on to a low skilled player so it is quite easy to reap the points.
• Use in it Deathmatch mode on small maps and use this gadget on crowded areas.

Counters

• Try to avoid getting marked by jumping or strafing around.
• When you get black-marked, try to get killed by a player with a low score.
• Use the Denied! gadget to deny the user of their points.
• Try to stay alive until the black mark status expires.
• Rocket Jump to get away from the user.
• If you have points to spare, Self Destruct to avoid letting the opponent gain points.
• If you get marked, look for the player who threw it at you then use a one-shot weapon to avoid being killed.
• Use the Reflector (Gadget) gadget to make opponents less interested in killing you.
