With this in mind, games like Call of Duty: Warzone and Fortnite seem to have an edge in the battle royale market due to their free-to-play nature. While most battle royale games have adopted this free model, other games like Battlefield 5 and Fallout 76 added battle royale modes to full-priced games post-launch.

Apex E district Map Legends has taken the usual out-of-the-gates melee-fest and turned it on its head. Instead of an all-out rush to supplies, the opening minutes are pushed into a slower direction. Putting a heavier focus on thorough item scouting and plans than the weapons players will get at their initial locat

Additionally, the Red Circles indicate spots that receive constant bombardment from helicopters, which change every few minutes. Additionally, due to these mechanics, players can't just "camp" out as they have to constantly move inside the shrinking circle and avoid constant bombardm
