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 CrateBeing 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!
