Ah, a game mode finally in one of these things. And a current popular one in the mainstream community. For anyone not sure what a battle royale consists of, it generally involves usually everyone placed around a large (and usually maze-like) map, sometimes armed with nothing except a garbage melee weapon and base health. Scattered across the map are randomly placed drops that can be weapons, ammo, healing items, defensive upgrades, and whatever the game decides would be fun to use. The goal is to essentially survive until you're the last person or team (depending on the version) to liveto the end. Generally, nothing respawns so people can't just camp a single area, and need to move to gather more resources. As well, there's usually an area reduction in place during the match, shrinking the battlezone so people are forced into a smaller, and smaller battlefield as previously open areas will now damage or instantly kill you for loitering. This is to encourage you to search new places, and be in constant danger of other players.
IN a way, this would sort of be like the normal way of playing the game at the start, but by the end of the match, everyone has a varying amount of equipment and items, and no drops are usually left. If you want more health and ammo, killing the other players are the only way, and you have to be smart not to blow through most of your resources and hp. SO fun all around, as the item gathering portion of the game doesn't take 3 hours, but 3 minutes while dealing with other players.
