Balance adjustments just dropped in Battle Royale! Below are the changes:
š Rift Anomalies are now guaranteed to appear at least once per match, and the Stick of Truth appears way more often to bring the kind of chaos that keeps matches fun and frenetic, especially in the mid-game.
š° Vending Machine costs have been lowered and loot quality has been improved to ensure that Gold Bars feel like a meaningful part of moment-to-moment decisions. There are also now better offerings that give more worthwhile reasons to seek out Vending Machines. Seek āem out!
ā” Mid-game storm circles now close slightly faster in Unranked Battle Royale.
*Weāve heard your feedback around mid-game pacing slowing down after the intensity of early fights. To keep the energy up between off-spawn tension and endgame pressure, weāre slightly speeding up how quickly midgame storm circles close. When combined with more frequent Rift Anomalies, the Island should feel more active, alive, and packed with opportunities to engage throughout the match.
These storm adjustments have not been made to competitive play yet, but we plan to potentially include this in a future update.
Jump in, check it out, and let us know what you think!
