Details

Base gameplay is heavily modified Battle Royale. It is played on BR maps, and uses the standard squad sizes and amount (3x20).
During the first 3 rounds, players can respawn infinitely.
- Respawning takes 24 seconds after being killed, and redeploys players near their remaining squadmates. If all squadmates are respawned at once, they skydive together towards a capture zone.
- Knocked players can hold ⇧ Left Shift/// for 1 second to bleed out instantly.
Capture Zones spawn throughout the map. Squads gain points by holding them uncontested.
- 7 zones spawn at the beginning of the match, and become active 1 minute and 45 seconds after the game begins.
- New zones take 30 seconds to become active. After the initial 7, only 5 zones will be active at any given time.
- Zones take ~80 seconds to capture entirely. If multiple squads are within the zone, capture progress is frozen.
- When a zone expires, the remaining squad is rewarded a Loot Tick. The first zone captured grants a Level 3 tick, the second a Level 4, and every subsequent zone a Level 5.
- Holding zones also grants EVO Points: 50 for every 10%, and 250 for capturing it.
Every squad has a point total from gaining EVO Points and capturing zones. Each round, the bottom 5 squads are eliminated.
- Each round is 5 minutes long. The Ring only shrinks once prior to Sudden Death.
- Point totals are reset at the end of every round.
To acquire points:
- Every 800 EVO Points gained by the squad grants 5 points.
- Every 10% of a zone's capture progress (8 seconds uncontested) grants 5 points.
- Being the last squad holding a zone grants 20 points.
Loot adjustments:
- All players spawn with an Evac Tower.
- All weapons spawn in fully-kitted form, and the only attachments that spawn are optics.
- Evac Tower can be fabricated from Replicator which replaces Banner Card Slot.
Once 5 squads are left, Sudden Death begins. No additional zones spawn.
- Sudden Death begins 30 seconds after Round 4 begins. All squads are redeployed from a dropship once this happens.
- The Ring is instantly set to its standard Round 4 size, and takes 3:40 to shrink entirely.
- Respawning is disabled, and the last squad standing wins.
