What Makes A Good Battle Royale

These Contracts come in the form of Bounties that encourage players to find and kill other players . Moreover, there are Scavenger Contracts that lead to special loot crates and Recon Contracts that guide players to marked points in the map. Outlasting opponents while having these Contracts make matches more excit


The battle royale genre has exploded since PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds released in 2017 . Based off of Koushun Takami's Battle Royale from 1999, battle royale games typically see anywhere between 60 to 100 players competing against one another to achieve the number one spot, often by skydiving into a location, looting areas for weapons and armor, and killing the competition. With such a straightforward formula, it makes sense that the genre expanded so rapidly with PUBG 's viral succ


This mechanic gives players the impression that they are there to play PUBG for fun rather than to win. This mechanic becomes really helpful when a particular match has extended for a few minutes too long and an option to go back into the match would seem too tedious to even push thro


Aside from scattered weapons and equipment on the battlefield, PUBG also features frequent Loadout Drops in various locations on the map. However, they're not announced in matches, and players only identify these by listening and looking for random pla


The most obvious reason why PUBG on consoles is a better experience is like comparing DVDs to the cinema. The screen is bigger for the console and while this might not seem like a big deal, it actually helps with immers


Perhaps PUBG dominates the battle royale genre as it doesn't linger whenever players lose in a match. For instance, if another player kills them, they are simply sent to the Lobby with some credits and they can join another ma


Still, shooting games on consoles are not for everyone. In PUBG Mobile, having pinpoint precision is rather crucial as it can cost you some victories if you're not good enough. The PC version already has a high skill ceil


And look - I'm not against sexy character designs. Actually, I usually like them! I'm a big fan of Senran Kagura and Dead Or Alive, and love the lengths fighting games go to make characters as horny as possible. But there's a way to have something be sexy and make sense, which Overwatch just never does. Plus, the Overwatch designs pander to the dullest and straightest among us - not to mention the whitest. They uphold the hegemony of white, European beauty standards and apply them to characters of color, which just flat-out su


Apex, on the other hand, doesn't really have the same problem. Look at the female characters alone – Wraith, Bangalore, and Lifeline. Only one of them is wearing a body suit, and considering her character (stealthy interdimensional assassin-y lady,) it fits. The other two women wear clothing that makes sense for both their respective roles on the battlefield and their lore, with Bangalore’s fatigues making sense considering her military upbringing and Lifeline’s breathable top and cargo pants fitting with her role as a combat medic, as well as being more casual than something somebody from her wealthy upbringing might wear. On top of their outfits, each woman looks different. Different body types and heights and faces help to give them differentiating factors beyond outfit colors and hairstyles. While I’d like more diversity in terms of female body types and eventually other ethnicities, it’s a pretty bang-up st


To make it simpler, PUBG Mobile permeated into Indian pop-culture the same way Fornite did in the USA and other parts of the world. Before we understand why PUBG got so popular, there are a few things we need to understand about the country. India is a primarily mobile-based country with 97% of users running Android . The advent of budget smartphones like VIVO, OPPO, and MI has not only increased the accessibility to smartphones, but also widened the gap in Android’s fav


This progression can be crucial for engagement with a battle royale games' battle pass just as the progression of a meal can be incredibly important for how the diner enjoys their food. If Fortnite 's battle pass has 100 levels but all of the rewards promised from level 70 to 100 are lackluster, players may stop progressing with the game once they reach level 69. Similarly, serving dessert before appetizers could be confusing and might leave customers dissatisfied with how their meal conclu


For battle royale games, this idea can be compared to out of game progression. Apex Legends rewards players for playing matches with XP to level up their profile, earning both credits to use on the in-game store as well as Apex Packs, the FPS game Tournaments's iteration of the loot box. Through this method, Apex Legends seemingly provides more value for players uninterested in engaging with microtransactions or a battle pass. This could be a factor that has helped Apex Legends continue to grow its incredibly large player ba
