For those unfamiliar with the Battle Pass system, it is a one time purchase (usually around $10) that unlocks a ton of in-game cosmetic rewards. However, players have to level up or progress through the battle pass tier to unlock each reward. Games like Fortnite battle Royale or Apex Legends reward players with new character skins, emotes, weapon skins, etc. Battle passes are also only available for a limited time which is usually referred to as a "season," and the items that are offered through the battle pass can only be obtained during this seasonal window. This encourages players to purchase the battle pass and grind through the tier before the season is over so they don't miss out on these exclusive sk
Ultimately, it seems bigger thing driving these development teams is a sense of collective duty. It stems from the developers' passion for the game itself, love for their fanbases and deep appreciation for the communities that support their work. Development teams, including the project leaders, designers, writers, marketing teams, and executive leaders, understand they have a responsibility in these difficult times. They inherently recognize they're providing refuge for people who might otherwise be putting themselves in positions to spread a terrible illn
The Mastiff has somehow made its way into the regular rotation of weapons, while at the same time retaining most of its incredible strength. It should come as no surprise that with it become more common in battle it has shot up the tier list of weapons in Season 5. Over time don't be surprised if it falls down the tier list as players figure out if its reduction in power hurts its overall usefulness. Either way, it was a bold but welcoming decision to make several of the care package weapons spawn in the overwo
When the COVID-19 crisis suddenly began ravaging communities around the world, national governments could offer little assurance to anxious citizens. We were lucky if we got anything more than contradictory instructions about masks, some vague instructions for handwashing and orders to "stay ho
It seems players rarely take the time to appreciate video game developers. Twitter feeds and game forums are frequently filled with game criticism. Even in normal circumstances, gamers fail to openly appreciate the efforts of those who work so hard. We may not know these workers by name, but they're working diligently to create brilliant stories, designs and technology that allow us to enjoy this form of immers
PlayerUnknown's BATTLEGROUNDS is another battle royale which can't go without being mentioned. While it wasn't the first to adopt the battle pass system, it was one of the first battle royale games and the one that many would attribute the popularity of the genre to. PUBG did eventually adopt the battle pass mode of play, but it's first few launches were a bit mediocre. However, the most recent " Survivor Pass " has been the most advantageous so
Still, while he was busy with _ Battlefield V _ , a friend of his clued him into a forthcoming game that was "really going to shake things up." The friend, who had play- tested it, was unable to say anything more without violating a strict non-disclosure agreem
Thanks so much for continuing to work as hard as you can to roll out updates, fixes and changes while grappling with the challenges of COVID-19, including those that may be impacting your own mental hea
While known for it's more serious tone, PUBG's survivor pass for season 7 has taken a bit of a sillier twist. The survivor pass is a whopping $10 and it offers 100 tiers of rewards, 41 player customization options, 19 weapon skins, and 9 emotes. While in the past the rewards were lackluster, season 7 is dinosaur themed and a lot of the cosmetics are silly mascot outfits or exotic animal print jackets. PUBG allows the player to customize their character more than most games, and season 7's pass adds a lot of unique flair to the player's opti
"If we're gambling on a team in terms of the performance, how can they guarantee that they're going to win?" he says, pointing out the nature of the battle royale format that puts 20 teams side-by-side in a single ma
You might be scratching your head wondering how on Earth the Prowler made it into the Top 10 when considering the best weapons in the game for Season 5 . It all comes down to a single attachment called the select-fire hop-up. When attached it allows players to turn the gun into an assault rifle. A fully equipped Prowler turns the unwieldy and overlooked gun into something quite formidable in battle. It shouldn't be your go-to weapon, but it can make its mark in a pinch with the right pieces in pl
Love them or hate them, battle passes have been around for a few years now, and with every new game release there seems to be a battle pass tucked in there along with it. Starting with **Fortnite ** in 2017, the battle pass system has been used by almost every major battle royale as a way to generate revenue by rewarding players with cosmetic items for their in-game level progression. The battle pass system has proven to be an effective way to keep players playing for a game for longer (and to keep payers spending money) that it has spilled outside of the Battle Royale genre and into other mainstream games such as Rocket Leag
