## Battle Royale

### Gameplay

* Limited Time Mode: **50V50 v2**
	+ Two teams of 50 fight to the finish!
		- Due to this being a “large squad” mode, Profile Stats will not be tracked. Daily & Weekly challenges will still work, with the exception of the Squad-based challenges (‘Place Top 6 in Squads’, etc.).
	+ Storm & Map
		- Each team has a bus, approaching the island from opposite directions. On the map, the friendly bus has a blue outline, enemy has red.
		- Final storm circle visible on minimap at start.
		- Players have 10 minutes to loot the map as the storm closes in on the circle, then 5 minutes to fight, and another 5 minutes as the storm shrinks to the end.
		- Supply drops come in batches of 3-6, fall every two minutes, and only land in the final storm circle.
		- Added dotted line to map, which indicates the "battle lines" between the two teams. Crossing the line will make running into enemies more likely.
	+ Loot
		- Farming resources increased 75% over default.
		- Increased floor loot spawn likelihood by 15%.
		- Floor Loot spawns double ammo.
		- Ammo boxes spawn triple ammo.
		- Chests spawn double ammo & consumables.
		- Supply drops spawn double ammo, and an extra consumable, resource drop and trap.
	+ Bug Fixes + Mode Improvements
		- Fixed a bug that created uneven teams where one side could have more than 50 players.
		- Downed players lose health more quickly than normal (10 health per tick).
