spawn kill
Instant death loop
A spawn kill is killing a player in a video game immediately after they respawn, before they can orient themselves or mount a defense.
The tactic exploits predictable respawn locations and is often considered unsportsmanlike: He kept spawn killing me—I couldn't even move before I was dead.
Also used as a verb: Stop spawn killing, it's cheap.
