Purecombat.Nothing else.
No roleplay / No economy / No mercy
SKIRM is a competitive PvP combat server for GTA V on FiveM and Red Dead Redemption 2 on RedM. You spawn into a hub, pick a fight from a menu, and every match runs in a world of its own.
Competitive combat, decided by the server. Every shot is authorized before it lands and health is read back rather than predicted, so no client can claim a kill. Nothing on the store changes a fight.

Live on FiveM
Pick your poison
The open world, the redzones, Soloroam and aim training are open to every player. Ranked and the team modes are in testing, and Zombies and Most Wanted are early access, each behind a role in Discord.
Ranked
1v1 to 5v5. No respawns.
Round elimination with a ping gate, a coin toss and a map veto. The only place ELO moves, and it never moves on kills.

How ranked works
Redzones
The free-for-all fight. Everybody on the same pistol, with or without recoil.
Zombies
Outbreak and Apocalypse. Twenty-six zones to take back, and the run picks up where you left it.
Most Wanted
The only place the police hunt you. Lose them alive to bank the bounty.
Gun Game
Every kill promotes you. A knife kill demotes your victim.
Airdrop Battle Royale
Land unarmed on Cayo Perico. The only guns fall from the sky.
Soloroam
The city to yourself, crowds and traffic back, and a terminal full of jobs.
King of the Hill
Hold the circle. Contested pays nobody, and the hill moves every ninety seconds.
Golf Cart Drive-By
The driver drives, the passenger shoots. Exactly as stupid as it sounds.
Choose your battlefield
2 games live. 3 on the hit list.
Each game gets its own portal, because each game gets its own build. The planned ones say exactly that rather than describing a server nobody can join.
Playable now
2 builds
A build exists, it is running, and getting in is a matter of asking in Discord.
GTA V
Closed betaFiveM
The first SKIRM build and the one the rest are measured against. The open world, six redzone decks, Soloroam, Zombies, Most Wanted, ranked, PVE and aim training, running now behind a closed beta, some of it behind a Discord role.

Red Dead Redemption 2
AlphaRedM
SKIRM on the RedM platform, in alpha. The same server-decided combat and the same ladder, in a world with no cars and a very different rhythm to a gunfight.

Planned
3 on the list
On the list and nothing more than that. Each one gets written up once there is a build behind it.
No dates on anything. A platform gets announced when it is playable, not when it is scheduled.
Rules of engagement
No filler. No advantage. One record.
Three things hold wherever SKIRM is built, because they are decisions about how it is run rather than features of one build.
Pure combat, nothing else
No roleplay framework, no economy and no money, and nothing to grind before you are allowed to shoot. You pick a fight from a menu and you are in it.
Nothing on the store changes a fight
No currency, no crates, no random rewards, and every mode, weapon and map open without paying. What is sold renders, orders a connection or opens a space. None of it touches damage, health or scoring, on any platform, ever.
One profile, every game
Your record follows you across platforms rather than starting again on each one, and lives at a page you can send somebody instead of a screenshot.
How a fight gets decided is a different question, and the answer depends on who runs the server. On FiveM and RedM that is us, and each portal spells out what that buys you.
Profiles, soon
skirm.me
Your record gets a home on the web at skirm.me/chrislenga, shared as a card and readable by anyone you send it to.
- One record across every SKIRM game, not one that restarts each time a new platform opens.
- A page you can send somebody instead of a screenshot, at your own name.
- Linked from your Discord account, so it follows you rather than your install.

Before you drop in
Short versions. Each one has a longer answer on the portal it belongs to.
- What is SKIRM?
- SKIRM is a competitive combat server with no roleplay, no economy and no money. You connect, pick a mode from a lobby menu, and every match runs in a world of its own. It runs on FiveM for GTA V and on RedM for Red Dead Redemption 2.
- Can I play SKIRM right now?
- The FiveM build is in closed beta and the RedM build is in alpha, and both are handed out in the Discord. Inside the FiveM beta, the open world, the redzones, Soloroam, PVE and aim training are open to every player, ranked and the team modes are in testing behind a Discord role, and Zombies and Most Wanted are early access behind roles of their own. Fortnite, Roblox and HELIX are planned with no date.
- Does SKIRM have redzones, 1v1s and gun game?
- Yes, on FiveM. The redzone is the free-for-all fight and is open to every player: six decks on the Trainyard platform, AP Pistol, Combat Pistol and Pistol .50, each with and without recoil. Ranked 1v1 to 5v5 with ELO and a map veto, gun game, team deathmatch, king of the hill and a 16-player battle royale are in testing behind a role in Discord.
- Is SKIRM pay to win?
- No. There is no currency, no crates and no random rewards, and every mode, weapon and map is open without paying. Every item in the catalog is asserted at server start to carry no gameplay effect, and the catalog has no field that could describe one, so a pay to win item cannot be added by accident. Premium adds badges, car styling, more cars, pets, saved characters and a private platform, and none of it touches damage, health or scoring.
- How does SKIRM stop cheating?
- Every shot is authorized server-side before it lands, and health is read back by the server rather than predicted from the client. A client cannot claim a kill, deny one, or hand one to a friend. A separate detection layer covers damage the rules make impossible, weapons the server never granted, godmode and movement the map does not permit, and game files are checked at connect. It is in a warn-only tuning period, so every flag goes to staff and a person reviews it.
- Does SKIRM use ESX or QBCore?
- No. It is standalone, with no roleplay framework and no framework bridge. One FXServer process on OneSync Infinity, game build 3095.
The bloodline
Born from iSe.GG
SKIRM is the successor to iSe.GG Ultimate Combat, the FiveM server that invented the combat genre. From 2019 to 2024 it pioneered floating platform arenas, gang-customized combat zones and the competitive PVP ecosystem an entire category of servers copied. Founded by Chris Lenga and co-founded with Josh Bryan, it grew past 30,000 members across four regions.

Milestones
- The first floating platform server on FiveM
- Pioneered the combat server genre that exists today
- First FiveM server with gang-customized, lockable platforms
- First to run a verified content creator platform program
- Official server listing and partnership with Cfx.re
- Coverage across NA, EU, AU and Asia
Every gang platform from that server is still standing on SKIRM, open to everyone and gated for nobody. There is an iSe Legacy Card for anyone who was there. That is the whole of the inheritance, and everything else on the server is new.

Invites drop in Discord
The FiveM beta and the RedM alpha are both handed out there, and every platform after them gets announced the same way, when it is playable rather than when it is planned.
