Vulgarus rules DM-Deck as Shock Rifle seals the win

A brief early wobble gave way to a Shock Rifle surge that neither rival could stop.

DM-Deck hosted a classic three-player Deathmatch on September 19, 2026, and the first signal came almost instantly. Vulgarus scored first blood after four seconds, dropping Vystrel with the Flak Cannon, but the match did not look one-sided for quite a while. Trhac answered with his own flak work, stayed near the top and even moved ahead of Vulgarus during the middle phase. Deck punishes every loss of rhythm, though. Once Vulgarus found his flow from the 355-second mark, he chained eliminations, leaned heavily on the Shock Rifle and gradually turned a close contest into a runaway win.

First blood and Trhac fights back

Vulgarus opened the scoring at 0:04 by sending Vystrel to the first respawn with the Flak Cannon. Trhac refused to let him escape: he killed Vystrel at 23 and 62 seconds, then hit Vulgarus at 116 seconds to make their scores 3:3. The opening had everything a Deathmatch needs — a fast start, tight scores and no settled owner of the map.

Then came the first oddity. Trhac blasted Vystrel with the Redeemer at 135 seconds, only to die to the same weapon a second later. The longest quiet spell followed: 55 seconds passed before the next kill. When combat resumed, Trhac stayed dangerous and after killing Vystrel at 333 seconds he led Vulgarus 5:3, marking a genuine swing in the lead.

Eight kills that broke the match

At 355 seconds Vulgarus killed Trhac with the Stinger and started the decisive stretch. Slime, Shock Combo, Rocket Launcher, Flak Cannon and Shock Rifle kills followed. At 406 seconds a Shock Combo on Trhac moved Vulgarus ahead 6:5, and he never surrendered the lead again. His streak reached eight kills without dying and lasted until 559 seconds.

Trhac was the player who finally stopped it with the Redeemer, but this was more an emergency brake than a real comeback. Vulgarus had already built separation and then kept extending it. The computed data also shows 14 revenge kills for Vulgarus, compared with six for Vystrel and four for Trhac, a perfect summary of how quickly he answered after being killed.

Shock Rifle takes over DM-Deck

From the middle of the match, the weapon gap became increasingly clear. Vulgarus collected 11 kills with the Shock Rifle and six more with Shock Combo, plus six with the Flak Cannon. Trhac relied mainly on the Flak Cannon for eight kills, while Vystrel scored most often with the Link Gun. The Flak Cannon was the deadliest weapon overall with 15 kills across all players, but the Shock Rifle and Shock Combo were the tools that gave Vulgarus control of range.

The clearest proof came at 819 seconds, when Vulgarus hit Vystrel with the Shock Rifle from 45.5 metres, the longest kill of the match. His 13.5-metre average kill distance was also the highest of the three. Earlier he had added the only headshot of the game with the Sniper Rifle. This was not only close-range pressure; Vulgarus could switch between Deck's tight spaces and accurate longer shots.

Minute fourteen and the final escape

The busiest minute was minute 14 with six kills. Vulgarus pushed his score from 19 to 23 in that period and effectively shut the door. Vystrel answered immediately with the Link Gun at 836 seconds and Trhac hit Vulgarus with the Flak Cannon 23 seconds later, but the gap was already too large. Vulgarus also averaged 64 seconds per life, against 43 for Trhac and 33 for Vystrel, helping him hold useful positions and weapons longer.

The finish still produced classic Deck chaos. Trhac added another Redeemer suicide, Vulgarus died to his own Shock Combo at 976 seconds and dropped from 26 to 25, but there was no panic. At 993 seconds he killed Vystrel and then Trhac with the Flak Cannon for the only Double Kill of the match. Shock Rifle, Flak Cannon and a final Shock Combo on Trhac at 17:13 completed the 30:7 victory.

Match moments

• Vulgarus scored first blood after four seconds with a Flak Cannon kill on Vystrel.
• Trhac led Vulgarus 5:3 after 333 seconds; Vulgarus later went ahead 6:5 at 406 seconds on the match's second lead change.
• Vulgarus recorded eight kills without dying from 355 to 559 seconds; Trhac ended the streak with the Redeemer.
• The longest kill was Vulgarus hitting Vystrel with the Shock Rifle from 45.5 metres at 819 seconds.
• Minute 14 was the busiest with six kills.
• The only Double Kill came at 993 seconds when Vulgarus killed Vystrel and Trhac with the Flak Cannon.

The final 30:7:7 score looks brutal, and the second half really was, but the opening was far more competitive. Trhac managed to put Vulgarus under pressure and briefly stay ahead, while Vystrel repeatedly punished over-aggressive pushes. The real separation came when Vulgarus combined Shock Rifle accuracy with longer survival and an eight-kill spree. From the moment he retook the lead at 406 seconds, he dictated the pace, and the closing minutes became controlled execution rather than a question of who would win.
