You shouldn’t start with nothing at all

As the title says, you shouldn’t start with nothing at all and then have to run around looking for the basics 

you should already start with the basics and then upgrade your stuff when you land 

you should at least start with

  • a basic white body shield/ helmet
  • a basic knockdown shield 
  • a basic backpack 
  • a basic weapon with no attachments, either a P2020 or a Mozambique (make it randomise so every round you start with either one, but everyone has the same one) 

another idea would be to just the remove hammer point hop-up from the game and give those two guns a straight up buff so they’re not completely useless from the get go

don’t get me wrong I enjoy playing the game but I feel like half the time i die it’s because I’m unable to fight back against a person who landed on the supply bin that happened to contain a weapon and a body shield 

Right now I feel like there’s just a little bit too much RNG in the game and a change like this would make early game fights more skill based instead of just a game of “who’s lucky enough to find a weapon” especially in hot drop zones where a lot of squads land and there’s just not enough guns to go around

    There are some LTMs which start you out with basic gear or even full loadouts, they tend to go down pretty well and we'll keep the feedback going to the studio. 

    We have the upcoming Always Be Closing Evo LTM, where you'll drop with a Evo shield and Mozambique. 

  • @Bean2kay9 Nah, landing with a gun and shield would be so boring and would cause chaos.

    Landing with just a weapon would be sufficient but no armour or nothing that's such a bot thing to say.

    I like the idea of upgrading the P2020 and Mozam as this would bring better balance to the game.
  • @Bean2kay9 I'm afraid this wouldn't flow very well. Starting with basic equipment takes away one of Battle Royale's biggest building blocks: hunting for loot.

    Also, you shouldn't underestimate the power of your melee. It can be strong enough to take out a player with an R-99 if you can believe that.

  • @Bean2kay9 Let me first say I think we should all land with a basic p2020.

    But then I'll say there is a way to avoid getting killed by someone "luckier" than you- drop smarter. If you are hot dropping over and over you are the one that should take the blame.
