New Game Mode

This would be an looting extraction game mode similar to CoD DMZ, Escape from Tarkov etc. For those that don't know how they work, basically you go into a raid and loot for items. Once you are ready to leave the raid you have to extract at an exit. If you die in a raid, you lose all items you picked up, and you lose all items you took in to the raid with you. However, if you survive the raid, you keep all items you picked up and put them in your hideout.

How I would suggest this works is, you begin the season with no weapons or items in your hideout, however all Legends will have their own loadout to begin with. All loadouts will consist of 2 syringes, 2 shield cells, white helmet, body shield, knockdown shield and backpack (similar to a normal BR game). Each Legend will then have a unique weapon loadout. A few examples:

Fuse - p2020, 2 grenades, 2 arc stars, 2 thermites.

Maggie - Shotgun

Vantage - Sniper Rifle with scope

Bangalore - Either scout or pistol with digi-threat

Rampart - LMG etc

Ultimates would not have cooldowns. Instead you would have to use ultimate accelerants. You can continue to use them in game, or you could use them in your hide out, so your ultimate is ready before going into a raid. I believe this change would be necessary to balance this game mode. Ultimate accelerants will continue to work the way they do now. Each legend will begin the season with their ultimate ready.

There will be far fewer teams in a game, perhaps up to 30 players.

There will be AI enemies all over the map in the form of Prowlers, Spiders, Reapers (I think that's what they are called) etc 

Respawn beacons (including MRB's) will work a little bit differently. When you respawn a team mate they will take 1 minute to spawn in. In this time, enemy ai will spawn in to try and kill you before the respawn is successful. This will also give away your position to enemy teams.

Loot is a lot harder to come by.

When a Legend dies in game, they will become unavailable for X amount of time. Forcing you to play as another Legend or waiting for the Legend to become available again.

Replicators will not be present in game.

Perhaps a stash box, where you can store any items you've found in raid. This would be helpful to send extra back packs and shields etc back to your hideout.

Shields are no longer evo shields. Red shields will still exists.

On the note of red shields, there should also be red helmet, knockdown shield and backpack. They are obviously better variants of their gold counterparts but without the bonus.

I think all vaulted attachments should be made available, so you can customise your weapons the way you want to customise them before a raid.

All maps would be available to choose from. Each map, would consist of different weapons and items.

There will be no closing ring, however, there will be a random ring placed on the map at a named location. The tick damage will be quite high, but there will be high value loot. This makes heat shields useful in this mode.

Extraction ships spawn in periodically. Once they have spawned in they will show up on the map.

Controller Legends can use the ring console to show you where the next extraction ship is going to spawn.
