Significantly changes the gameplay by turning the game in to a dodgeball match with two teams facing off against each other. Each player is given their own ball, which they can throw in the direction of their opponents. If the ball hits an enemy player, that player will die. If the ball hits a wall, an object or already has hit another person, then the ball is considered inactive, and will not be able to kill anybody that it hits thereafter. Players can press their inspect key, F by default, to catch nearby active balls thrown by enemies. If the player manages to catch an opponent's ball, then the opponent that threw the ball will die. Players can press their use key, E by default, to perform a dash that temporarily increases their movement speed, which allow players to perform epic moves in the form of surprising throws and catches. The first team to eliminate all of the players on the opposing team wins the round.
This game mode comes with a total of 5 unique maps, specifically designed for the dodgeball extreme game mode. The dodgeball arenas are all set in different and unique locations. Three of the arenas takes place in modified areas of known maps. One takes place in a gym hall, and the last is in an orange and grey dev based area. The dodgeball arenas varies in size depending on the map, and although these maps are made for the game mode, there is nothing preventing you from using any other regular maps when playing Dodgeball xtreme. The available custom maps are as follows:
- db_dev_mani
- db_gym_mani
- db_dust_mani
- db_mirage_mani
- db_nuke_mani
