Hardcore Battle Royale Improvements

Hardcore BR now includes zombies, bears and night vision goggles. Reduced minimum starting players to 64. The match can now take place at night and includes a Hardcore Elite Bag containing new unique items.

A list of known issues with Hardcore BR:

  • Icon missing from new elite bag
  • Currently there are no doors
  • Currently there are no vehicles or compass, this is intended for testing as we want to see how it effects the gameplay of hardcore mode
