About guards and their responsibilities in Ink Game

The option to become a guard (Image via Roblox)

Guards in Ink Game are entrusted with the task of ensuring order. At the beginning of every game, each player gets the option to become a part of the security for a single time by spending 325 Million Won or 299 Robux. It is also possible to buy the Gamepass, costing 799 Robux, to have unlimited access to the guard role.

All playable guards are given firearms to kill players both during the mini-games and the intermissions. However, they cannot randomly eliminate the contestants. Only those contestants who fail in a mini-game or break the rules by rebelling or attacking a guard can be shot down.

During Lights Out, you can shoot players who get too close or attack you. Meanwhile, during the Rebellion, there is no such restriction. You can kill all participants seeking to escape from the competition, put an end to their heroics, and earn Won all the while.
