Battle Royale in SQUAD?
Yes, a Battle Royale mod is coming to SQUAD.

The total conversion mod has begun with OWI modding developers Zak and Bruno colaborating with mod developer Wasti, to lay the groundwork for the mod.

You can read about it here: http://joinsquad.com/readArticle?articleId=284

Should be interesting to see what a SQUAD iteration of Battle Royale will look and play like, I'm excited to try this one out.


Edit: additional information

Some OWI developers are working with community modders to create the BR mod, in order to showcase the capabilities of SQUAD's SDK.

The mod developers chose to do something completely different from SQUAD's base, to demonstrate total conversion modding of the game. This allows them to show examples of mechanics, features and game modes that aren't available in the base game, and hopefully inspire others to expand upon the base that OWI has created

Going by what I've seen in their discord so far...

1. SQUAD BR mod will be free to those that own SQUAD.

2. The developers haven't mentioned anything about NPCs or zombies.

3. The developers are working on a new map for SQUAD BR.

*** This was mentioned concerning community made maps for the mod:

i think people are free to make maps yeah

Any map someone want to make for BR I would advise starting with topographical data that is from a real world location. (Unless the map is more less without elevation change)

The players who get Squad specifically for BR would be over there playing BR, just like the people who bought Arma for DayZ etc.

Worst case scenario they decide to play the vanilla game and get bored after 2 minutes.
Best case they play vanilla and decide its better than BR and become a member of the core community.

Yes dude, it's happening. :)

No one is saying you have to play it if you don't want to. It just adds more variety to SQUAD, for those who might like something different from the base game...which imo is a great thing.

I'd hope DLC isn't even spoken of until about 3 months after main release and all the bugs are gone. If so this may be the first modern studio i actually buy DLC from. Havent since 2013. And no Royal mode is great. I'd even rather damn zombies again over royal. It got old very, very quickly.

Sounds like fun :)

Smokey May 17, 2018 @ 1:38pm 
my guess is maybe 5 or 10 people will play it. nobody comes to squad wanting to play a BR mode.

I'll tell you this, if this mod ever becomes super popular, Squad might become what happened to Arma after DayZ...

If you want BR trash, go play games tailored for it.
NO JUST NO!

As long as they get rid of the 3rd person thing, awesome.

From what I saw earlier on discord, 1st and 3rd person will be selectable on the server side.

Excellent. 3rd person is way too arcade and removes a lot of situational awareness skill.
