By Team Xonotic

Xonotic is a free arena shooter from Team Xonotic for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It ships with a large weapon set, each gun having a primary and secondary fire, and modes that run from deathmatch and capture the flag to race, Nexball, and freeze tag. Twenty-five official maps are included, and an editor ships with the game. Player statistics through XonStat are optional and do not require an account.

The F7 Insight

Xonotic keeps the arena-shooter promise of fast rooms, distinct weapons, and modes you can learn in one match, while leaving statistics off until a player asks for them. F7 sees a complete shooter that does not hide those modes behind a store page.
