Battle Royale SimulatorChoose the enemy count, parachute into the map, and search buildings for equipment. The challenge is surviving the encounters after landing rather than simply shooting from a fixed position.Find a weapon and nearby cover before crossing open ground. Picking the largest enemy count immediately makes learning the map harder.
Wasteland ShootersJoin or create room-based firefights on wasteland maps, with free-for-all and team options. Weapon choice changes which distances are comfortable to fight at.Choose a weapon for the map's sightlines. Reload behind cover rather than after stepping into the next open lane.
Army CombatChoose an attacking or defending role and face armed opponents across the battlefield. You fight alone, so positioning replaces the protection a teammate might provide.Clear one direction before exposing yourself to another. A weapon change is safest when a wall blocks enemy sightlines.
