Gun Run

Gun Run
Permanent Mode
First introduced	September 20, 2022

Gun Run is a Mixtape game mode in which four squads battle to get kills with every weapon. It was first introduced in Season 14's Beast of Prey Collection Event as a Limited Time Mode, and subsequently made available during Fight or Fright later in the same Season.

On March 7, 2023, Gun Run was permanently added through the Mixtape playlist.

Details

Players

• Four teams of three Legends compete against each other.
  • The teams are split into Wolf Squad, Eagle Squad, Bear Squad, and Tiger Squad. They are respectively colored blue, purple, pink, orange.
• All Legends are pre-equipped with a Body Shield, a Helmet, infinite ammo, infinite Shield Cells, and infinite Shield Batteries. They also will be respawned automatically upon death.
• Health will regenerate automatically after not taking damage for 4 seconds.
• Legends cannot get knocked down and enter the Bleeding Out state, dying instead as soon as their health is depleted. When a Legend dies, they drop nothing.
• Ash's Marked for Death will automatically ping a squad member's killer upon their death, due to the lack of Death Boxes.
• Lifeline's Care Package always contains three Body Shields.

Gameplay

The goal of Gun Run is to progress through 25 weapons, getting a kill with each.

• Legends only have one weapon equipped.
• Getting a kill with a weapon will progress the player's score and replace the current weapon with another one in order.
  • The weapon that is received upon kill is based on the highest score across the player's team plus 1, which means that (for example) if a player whose score is 4 kills someone and their teammates' scores are 6 and 8, that player will receive the weapon set at score 9 instead of the one at score 5.
  • The next weapon in line and the next weapon after that can be checked anytime above the currently equipped weapon; the current score is also located below the current weapon.
  • If a Legend is killed by a melee attack, their score is reduced by one.
  • All teams' current highest score can be checked anytime, at the top of the screen.
• While the weapons are ordered differently each game, the group order will always be: assault rifles, light machine guns, sub machine guns, shotguns, marksman weapons, snipers, pistols.
  • Either one assault rifle or one shotgun at random will not be available in a match.
  • The Bocek, Charge Rifle, and Sentinel will never be available in any match.
• The twenty-fifth weapon is an exclusive Throwing Knife.
  • The Knife deals 100 body damage and 300 (260 due to Helmets) head damage.
• The only lootable items are those found in Lifeline's Care Packages.
• All the weapons are Fully Kitted, but the rarity of the attachments and optic differ depending on the weapon:

Weapon	Rarity	Optic	Weapon	Rarity	Optic	Weapon	Rarity	Optic
30-30 Repeater	★★★★		Alternator SMG	★		C.A.R. SMG	★★
Devotion LMG	★★★★★		+ EVA-8 Auto	★★★★★		G7 Scout	★★★
HAVOC Rifle	★★★★		Hemlok Burst AR	★★		Kraber .50-Cal Sniper	★★★★★	6x-10x
L-STAR EMG	★★		Longbow DMR	★★		M600 Spitfire	★★
Mastiff Shotgun	★★		Mozambique Shotgun	★★★		Nemesis Burst AR	★★★
P2020	★★		Peacekeeper	★		Prowler Burst PDW	★
R-99 SMG	★★		R-301 Carbine	★★★		Rampage LMG	★★
RE-45 Auto	★★		Triple Take	★★		VK-47 Flatline	★★★
Volt SMG	★		Wingman	★

Winning

There are two ways to win in Gun Run.

• The first team to score a kill with the Throwing Knife wins.
• Gun Run matches aren't endless. If none of the teams have scored a kill with the Throwing Knife when the time expires, the team with the highest score wins.

Trivia

• Like all modes made out of 4 teams, there is a small chance for one of the squads to appear as the "Nessie Squad" instead. If that happens, the Nessie Squad will be green instead of blue.
  • Prior to the February 14, 2023 Patch, the chance used to be 1 in 1000, but only one team could see it due to it previously only affecting the Wolf Squad, and Wolf Squad always being seen as the player team.
