Battle Royale

What it is

Battle Royale is a scheduled event, not something you start on a whim. When Max opens one, a registration panel goes up; you join it, wait for the start, and fight until one player is left standing. It uses your real character — your stats, gear, weapon and one equipped consumable, locked in the moment it begins — so it rewards the build you actually raised, not a leveled playing field.

Zones

Up to 50 players can enter (it needs at least 4). At the start everyone is split into balanced zones of a handful of fighters each — around 5 by default — and each zone is its own private free-for-all. There are no threads and no extra channels — you open your zone from the event channel with the View My Zone button, which shows a combat panel only you can see. You only ever see and fight the people in your zone. If too few register, the start is pushed back a little rather than cancelled.

The rounds

Rounds are long and shared. Every zone resolves on one global deadline — 6 hours by default — so this is an event you dip into across a day, not a fight you sit through. During a round you pick one action in your zone panel and you can change it any time before the deadline. When the clock runs out, every zone resolves at once.

The shrinking bracket

Each round thins the field, and the bracket contracts to match. When a zone empties out it collapses, and a fighter left alone in their zone is moved into another active zone so the fights stay real. Round after round the zones fold together until a single final free-for-all remains — and when only one fighter is still alive across the entire event, that player wins.

Knocked out early? Your placement still counts. Final standings rank the last survivor first, then whoever was eliminated latest, then kills, and finally a fixed random tiebreak drawn once at the start of the event — so surviving longer and taking people down with you both move you up the board.

Hunter Momentum

Kills make you stronger for the rest of the event. Every knockout you land grants +1 STR permanently for the whole Battle Royale, and an 8% max-HP shield that comes up the following round. Aggression compounds: the player who keeps finishing fights walks into the final rounds bigger and better protected than everyone who played it safe.

Rewards

Battle Royale pays out by placement. Max sets the prize table before the event — an amount of OIL and, optionally, a promo code for each paying finishing position. When it ends, OIL is credited automatically and any promo code is sent to you privately by DM (a Claim My Reward button lets you pull yours again). There is no XP, no participation prize and no daily cap — only the places Max funded pay out, so a top finish is the whole point.
