Hazard Zone seems to be deserted

Hi everyone,

I would really like to play Hazard Zone more often, because I enjoyed it most of the times yet, even when I only play with random groups.

But one thing is really frustrating right now, which I would like to share with you and ask for your experience / opinion:

It is so hard to find a game! Even in the evenings (I am from Europe) - it often takes 20 + minutes or sometimes even more, to finally join a game with a full squad. In this moment I am in the queue for 30 minutes, brought back to the menu twice and still couldn't find a squad.

Is the game mode completely deserted and noone is playing, which is the reason that there are no rounds to join?

Just wanted to share this with you, because I think that's quite a sad fact for a AAA game and I would really like to play it more often.

Best regards,

JerseyNBG

    Nobody plays it. And I can't even get the Playstation trophies for the hazard zone because I can't find a single match

    I'm jealous!

    Maybe it's a good approach which I could try... because right now, I am only looking for other PC Players.

    Thanks for your input and have a nice day.

    Best regards,

    Now lets just guess the next weeks, weekly mission challange?

    I can be sure that one of these days it will be related to having a win/extraction in Hazard zone, to give us an cyan "camo" for a knife, just to bring people in and make them play it.

    Its an unappealing game mode, at least when you are playing with strangers and NO VOIP, how can you connect and communicate with others, i dunno.

    Playing on the same maps, also doesn`t help.

    It's actually a lot of fun if you play with a squad on comms.  There are some very effective strategies that you can come up with.

    I can never find a match on just PS5.  I either have to do it with crossplay or play on the PS4 version.  The latter is pretty fun, with less players.  I got all the trophies on the PS4 version, but they unfortunately have not carried over to my PS5 account.

  • I'm one of those old school BF fans that has zero interest in the game mode. To me the description sounds like they ripped off the gameplay from The Division's dark zones: go in, find goods, fight others while trying to extract goods and if you get killed before you do it's basically a waste of time. Just in 1st person instead of 3rd. Lame either way.

    Crossplay on and playing in EU also, takes not that long to find players, Cross play on.

    It´s annoying to play with randoms, but fun with squad in Discord.

    Talking about randoms, it´s hopless to get anyway with randoms driving in E2 over anti tank landmines, while rest of 2 lvl 5 randoms just quit bc they didn´t know that I was already 95% through on Redeploy. And lost another 500 credits.

    And here lies the other major problem with the game(besides not registering extraction when you clearyly were only sole survivor on plane or just crash on the plane)- when you go on loosing streak, you loose your credits, and not by your own fault but bc of randoms. In other modes like Wz when you loose, you just get bad stats, some might care for it but in general the loadout is still there and you can just start from new sleet. In HZ when you go on loosing streak you end up loosing your credits and finally will not be able to even buy a gun\loadout.

    Doesn´t help that Loadout Insurance works also half of the time by some magical rules- didn´t figure it out till now.

    Maps and player density is fine, there´s alway 2-3 squads in viscinity if you know where to look, or you can also vanish and take a more relaxed approach. A way better than 128 player empty maps on Breaktrhough\Conquest imho.

    Talking about kids and clowns😉 You should check out the new coolest game in Steam:P
