Battle Royale Preview New Limited-Time Mode

Battle Royale Preview offers an early look at Warzone features that may later migrate to the standard Battle Royale experience.

This new Limited-Time Mode will appear in playlists if or when we’re looking for both data and feedback from our players on new systems – so we hope to provoke discussion and hear from you! This mode will be available for players to queue as a team of four (Quads).

The following features are unique to Battle Royale Preview at launch:

Covert Exfil New Feature

• While playing Battle Royale Preview, players can attempt to escape the match early using a Covert Exfil.
• Only five Covert Exfils are available for purchase in total per match, for the considerable price of $30,000, and are available in Buy Stations before the Gulag closes.
• Once purchased, a green flare will instantly mark the landing zone, calling in a chopper that can fly any player, friend or foe, out of the match – ideally with a Weapon Case in their possession.
• Nearby opponents will be notified of the Covert Exfil attempt, allowing them to intercept to prevent, or even steal, the Covert Exfil.
• This feature will be complimented by a dedicated Covert Exfil Leaderboard when successful, as Covert Exfil will not be classified as a Battle Royale last-player-standing victory.
• Squad members who do not successfully exfil via the Covert Exfil chopper will remain in the match – with the option to pursue a standard victory.
• Players who did successfully exfil will remain connected as spectators until the entirety of the squad has finished playing in order to keep the party together.
• Last-player-standing remains the final victory condition in this Battle Royale Preview LTM for anyone who chooses not to engage in the Covert Exfil feature.

• Weapon Case New Feature
  • At the start of every Battle Royale Preview match, a single Weapon Case spawns at random and is hidden within an indicated search area on the Tac Map.
  • The squad member that picks up the Weapon Case will be globally marked for all opponents to see on the Tac Map.
  • The primary objective is to extract the Weapon Case via Covert Exfil, or achieve a standard Victory with the Weapon Case in possession, in order to earn rewards for the entire squad – listed below:
    • 1st Weapon Case Reward
      • “After Party” Weapon Decal
      • 15-Minute Double Weapon XP Token
    • 2nd Weapon Case Reward
      • “Person of Interest” Weapon Decal
      • 15-Minute Double Weapon XP Token
    • 3rd Weapon Case Reward
      • “The Pursued” Weapon Decal
      • 15-Minute Double Weapon XP Token
    • 4th Weapon Case Reward
      • “Behind the Mask” Weapon Sticker
      • 15-Minute Double Weapon XP Token
    • 5th Weapon Case Reward
      • “Harrow” MTZ-762 Weapon Blueprint
      • 15-Minute Double Weapon XP Token
    • 6th+ Weapon Case Reward  (Repeating)
      • 15-Minute Double Weapon XP Token
    • And as a hidden reward for Players who are able to achieve a Battle Royale Victory and be the last squad standing while holding the Weapon Case will receive this exclusive Operator:
      • “Mortem” Operator Skin

• Pacing Adjusted Feature
  • Circle 1 wait time increased to 150 seconds Battle Royale Preview, up from 90 seconds.

• Champions Quest in Battle Royale Preview
  • Champions Quest will still be available in Battle Royale Preview.
  • Escaping the match with a Covert Exfil does not count as a win towards Champion’s Quest and will break any current win streak.
