Re: Please make Straight Shot permanent
BR pubs and ranked are great. So I disagree with you on that.
However the Straight Shot LTM as you suggest and I agree should be a permanent mode. It is just so so good.

- @Asmodeus566 What is it? I've not seen or heard about it yet. Just seeing the words "straight shot" here in the forum
It is the current LTM that you can select to play in the game select menu like duos, trios, ranked, or mixtape, there is one labeled Straight shot.
Straight shot is a min BR trio game, 10 teams of 3, you will be dropped in a poi near another team, weapons you find will be kitted at different levels , blue purp etc.
When you get boxed after a few seconds your team automatically has your banner and can either use a respawn beacon or a mobile respawn becon to get you back in the game.
You can also once the team is dead press a button to join the next match instead of going back to the lobby.
It is BR on a smaller scale but fast paced.
Good fun.
- @1ronKeys A mode where you'll struggle to find ammo.
@Asmodeus566 "When you get boxed after a few seconds your team automatically has your banner and can either use a respawn beacon or a mobile respawn becon to get you back in the game."
Did not know that. I usually just leave. Doubt they're gonna respawn anything anyway. As @CCbathwater said ammo is a bit problematic.
Glad that you know that now.
You may find that players will not risk the revive if it is risky and will wait for you to get boxed so that they can do the respawn.
Yes a lot of players will try to get you back in the game. Many even wait for you to get them back in, however there are some here and there that will leave.
Have not paid attention to the map size but it feels like the teams are placed closer together and ring times work the map well to make it a faster paced BR game.
Wins in this mode count towards your wins total as well as all other BR stats in this mode counting.
Also know now that final ring is very fast. And the other team didn't seem interested in fighting, despite me being on Wraith. Like I told my teammates "okay, they don't wanna fight, strange, guess Wraith wins the game for free then GG".
- @CCbathwater I've been respawned or respawned teammates and totally turned the initial fight around because you land with your guns and a stack of ammo.
- @hayhor Obviously this is a test of how you can curb hot-drop griefing on BR. About time. BR has progressively been allowed to become worse and worse since... ever.
@Asmodeus566Map sizes are a little smaller and the rings move faster with the 10 teams of trios instead of 20. I think they start at like Ring 2 damage as well, but I'm not sure. Games typically take about the 10 minutes they advertise, so about half a normal trios game from start to finish.
You drop straight down into a POI from your team's own drop ship with one other team (most of the time) and their position is marked for you after a few seconds on the ground. There is also a loot tick right below the drop ship that has about 4 weapons in it and tons of kitted weapons in floor loot.
@hayhor I've found that people do rez you much more consistently because you don't have to retrieve banners first (your team is automatically gets them) and the loot is enhanced so there are mobile respawn beacons all over the place (almost guaranteed in support bins, especially if you need one since it is smart loot).
As said by others, the only issue can be scarcity of ammo in floor loot.- @CCbathwater I'm hoping the auto banner thing is a test to get rid of retrieving or crafting them.

This strikes me as anti-competitive and unsportsmanlike. I guess that if it's what the dev intended then it's technically neither. But I'd rather just take my win in the next match than have one literally handed to me because I died. In what game, in what world, is dying the avenue to victory? - @reconzero It's not either of those. And it's not an advantage to die. It rewards those that either are good at finishing players quickly or those that can get away and live until the respawn occurs. It's just different. No different than how Apexs long TTK allows a person to get shot in the back but still have a chance to turn the fight around if they are quick and can get cover.
