Knife VS Gun DUELS event
Knife VS Gun DUELS Admin Abuse: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown
Admin Abuse is the chaos event in Knife VS Gun DUELS, the Roblox arena shooter where the developers step into live servers and turn their admin powers loose on the lobby mid-match. It is a limited-time break from the game’s usual knife-versus-gun standoffs, and with about 16,000 players dueling at any given moment and more than 400 million visits to date, a run tends to pull a crowd.
Unlike the game’s permanent modes, Admin Abuse does not sit on the menu year-round. It returns in cycles — roughly every ~140 days — and when it does, it opens across a handful of set time slots spread over a Friday and a Saturday so players in every part of the world get a fair shot at joining. The next opening and the usual windows are on the card below.

How often Admin Abuse runs
Admin Abuse is an occasional event rather than a weekly fixture. It has returned 3 times so far, with the gap between runs averaging every ~140 days. Our best estimate for the next opening is Saturday, October 24 at 10 PM ET, projected from that rhythm; we confirm the exact date once the developers announce it.
When a run goes live, it does not open just once. The developers schedule it across three separate windows — one on Friday and two on Saturday — so that no single clock shuts out an entire region. Someone logging on after work in London and someone waking up in Sydney can both find a slot that fits. All three windows, in Eastern Time:
| Day | Start Time (ET) |
|---|---|
| Friday | 12:00 PM |
| Saturday | 10:00 AM |
| Saturday | 1:00 PM |
What to expect during Admin Abuse
True to its name, the event hands the controls to the people who built the game. During a run, expect the developers to drop into public servers and aim their admin commands at the lobby — bending the normal knife-versus-gun rules, triggering effects, and generally turning a straight duel into something unpredictable. It leans toward spectacle rather than competition, so the appeal is being in the server while it happens rather than grinding a fixed objective.
Tips for catching it
- Pick the window that suits your day. The Saturday 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM ET slots fall in European afternoons and Asian evenings, while the Friday noon ET slot lands in the US lunch hour and the Asia-Pacific small hours.
- Set a reminder for the window closest to your region — runs sit months apart, so a missed one means a long wait.
- If you cannot make a window, the event itself comes back next cycle; it is the live timing that is limited, not your only chance ever.
How it fits the game’s rhythm
Knife VS Gun DUELS keeps a steady drumbeat of events between Admin Abuse runs. A Secret Update is live right now, and the game has cycled through seasonal drops like The Magic Expansion and its Summer Update. Admin Abuse is the wildcard in that lineup — less a content patch, more an occasional live happening the developers stage when the mood strikes.
