A Battle Royale mode on Overwatch via the creation of a player on the Workshop? This is the project presented by a BR fan on Reddit. The mod, currently in the form of a project without a map, has a spawn system, buffs to buy as well as rewards on kill streaks. If it is not playable for the moment, this initiative confirms the interest of the Workshop and the future potential of this tool in the hands of the community.
A Battle Royale mode on Overwatch? Thank you Workshop
If Blizzard had quickly confirmed that its developers were not working on a Battle Royale mode for Overwatch, it was to be expected that fans would give it a try. Thus, the mode presented on Reddit has some advanced mechanics for a BR.
It is indeed possible to spawn via a drop as in a Battle Royale, before being able to use bonus damage, resistance and heals on the map. In addition, a currency is given to living players, allowing them to accumulate bonuses.
In addition, the player develops a system to give gold in case of elimination and to steal resources from killed enemies.
Will there be a Battle Royale mode created by fans on Overwatch?
The main concern for the final development of such a game mode, resides in the current limits of the Workshop. Thus, this tool was never intended to create a real map, let alone a Battle Royale.
However, we hope that this type of initiative gives developers ideas to improve this tool and who knows, maybe give more freedom to fans on Overwatch 2?
In the meantime, you can follow the progress of this Battle Royale mode on Reddit, hoping that the developers will lend a hand to the most creative fans!
