Does anyone play arena ?
Hey guys, I find games for other modes very quickly, but I can’t find any arena game. Is this a bug or something ? Thanks also will there be a ranked mode or something one day ?

Aside from weekly events, it's the only mode I enjoy.
Where's more modes?!
Thanks for answers 🙂
buy « other modes » I was refering to 8vs8 and 24 players modes.
I waited very long but couldn’t get an arena game to launch ☹️
i don’t understand why since 4vs4 is certainly the most competitive mode so I can’t see why people wouldn’t play it...
That was a question I had in my mind "If You Don't Play Arena, Why?"
But that's because I don't play it myself anymore for the following reasons:
- Communication and teamwork: If you ended up with a team that doesn't want to communicate vs a full communicating party, you're doomed from the start. Your teammates die one after another and it becomes a 4v1 where you see enemy players sticking together and you stand no chance. Also, with communication, you can pick up a well-balanced team composition. When playing with randoms it just becomes a spaghetti.
- There is no skill-based matchmaking: I often ended up going against players who just started the game. Yeah, I won.. but that wasn't fun... It was lopsided. And I do feel bad for those players. It can also be the opposite way around, all of your teammates are completely new to the game vs elites.
- The game doesn't also factor in ranks: Players who have everything upgraded might have the upper hand. Not fun going against players who don't everything unlocked.
- Nobody likes waiting for other players while doing nothing. So, you'll see people quitting before waiting for others... This happens in all modes regardless.. People thinking they'd re-queue to find full lobbies, which does happen sometimes.
Other reasons to why people don't like it:
- Pressure: Not all people can tolerate the pressure, especially of being the last one standing. I'm the opposite, I love it when it happens ! <- that was one of my first few games...
- Elimination mode is boring to some people as some don't like dying, then having to wait for long to play back again.
- No incentive to play it... No special rewards, no quests, no reason to play it...
- It requires more dedication than other modes and some people don't want to commit to a full game. (I know that other game modes are the same, but quitting doesn't have a huge impact on most other modes)
- Some people have poor connections which could result in frustrating experiences... lagging, getting disconnected suddenly.
- Its fun factor, to some people, is completely random for the personal reasons I mentioned above.
- The map could be dull and boring to some players.
I understand what you are saying but come on, the « pressure » in this game isn’t even close to what you can feel in csgo for example. Arena is the only « competitive » mode we have in this game so why not play it ? They should make a ranked with it and that would be perfect, no more teaming with noobs etc... Seriously, the other modes are « cute » but after ten hours participating in those gigantic messy battles where you just shoot whoever comes close without any teamplay and without even trying to be somewhat « strategic », I’d really enjoy going into something sharper and requiring more skill. Those turf etc... modes are just made for kids who wanna shoot without even thinking a tiny bit. Sure it’s fun but it’s not enough for a mature player.
I really thought with the global launch of the game I would see more people playing this, so it’s not a good sign for the player base. It looks like there aren’t enough players to make it last ...
