Battle Royale Adjustments

At the start of Season Two Reloaded, we talked about our intent to merge the core and Vanguard Royale experiences into a single, coherent Mode. We’ve now arrived at the final step of the merger, with Vanguard Royale Public Events joining the core BR event pool.

  • Public Events

    • Added:
      • Restock
      • Cash Drops
      • Heavy Weapon Drops
      • Resurgence

  • Loadout Drop Events:

    • First free Loadout Drop now occurs earlier
      • This change should make for better parity in the power curve.
    • Second free Loadout Drop remains in the 5th Circle

  • Guaranteed Events:

    • Infil:
      • Heavy Weapon Crate
      • Plunder Crate

Being incentivised to landing in different locations due to Legendary loot appearing in the early game is a good opportunity for POI rotation.

  • 4th Circle:
    • Restock
    • Fire Sale

Having mid-game events help players restock their inventory and give players improved looting opportunities in the mid-to-late game, especially if returning from the Gulag.

As a reminder, here are some of the other changes that were implemented to core BR over the previous weeks:

  • Gameplay
    • Default core health is now at 150 (up from 100)
  • Loot
    • Dead Silence will remain as Legendary ground loot
  • Contracts
    • “Big Game Bounty”
    • “Top Secret”
    • “Supply Drop”

We’re excited to see this initiative come to fruition and look forward to monitoring your continued feedback. Time to drop in!
