Gameplay
The game is played in rounds that last for several minutes. Each round admits up to 100 players with the remainder filled by computer-controlled bots. Players are represented by circular figures on a 2D grid-like map, surrounded by a circular blue zone (called "the gas") that shrinks as the game advances, forcing players into a smaller and smaller area. Players take 2-10 damage to their health the longer they remain in the zone and can be eliminated if they stay in it.
Players start the game with no weapons other than their fists or any melee skins. Weapons and healing items can be found across the map in loot containers, such as boxes, crates, and chests. Loot containers are located throughout the map inside and outside of buildings. Some healing items are bandages, med kits, Small Shield , Big Shield, Hybrid Potion and the healing weapon. Weapons have power based on their rarity and are classified as common (grey), uncommon (green), rare (blue), epic (purple), legendary (gold), or mythic (red).
These are stored in a six-slot inventory (excluding the melee slot).
Modes and Monetization
There are multiple modes, the main ones being Solo, Duos, Squads, and LTMs (limited time modes). The active LTM change after a period of time; previous LTMs have included: Zombies, Protect the VIP, Weapons Race, Mystery Mode, 50v50, Superpower mode, and Crystal Clash.
