stands for instant giblets, referring to one-hit kills in fps games where the victim is instantly turned into ‘giblets’, or explodes.

i took out my instagib rifle and limbs started flying when i started gibbing all around.
an action whereby a person can be killed in a single hit in unreal tournament.
g-d d-mn it i hate f-cking instagib, turn it off!
online gaming term.

1) a players health is such that upon being killed in a multiplayer game they explode into many gibs and giblets (peices of simulated flesh and gore). (quake 1)

2) a game mode where every weapon (usually only a hitscan railgun/asmd) instantly kills the player in one shot. (started in quake 2 and popularised as a mutator in unreal tournament)

3) finding yourself at the bottom of a chasm/lava/force field and being instantly turned into gibs when you touch the bottom.
i was playng instagib the other day when i totally owned some guys when they lined up and i instagib’ed 4 people in a row!

so i was running around and a spammed a rocket into a door and it slapped this poor sucker in the face. i then jumped off the top of the level and instagibbed him with my railgun as i was falling. dont think he had time to blink!
the act of being killed exceeding quickly. standardly 1 shot. but in games lacking an ‘instagib rifle’ (or even anything resembling a gun) is usually taken to mean death in <1-2 seconds. unreal: the server had instagib enabled last night. twas so chaotic my head was reeling after a few rounds. battlefield: that guy killed me as soon as i turned the corner. defense of the ancients: care man, they will instagib you if you go too far alone. to kill something in one shot / burst of damage. usually used in pvp games to describe a player who died instantly. did you see me insta-gib that warrior? haha i blew that kid up.
