Is there some FOSS or Linux native Battle Royale?

Hi, bth I never played fortnite, but I tried PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile and I honestly enjoyed the Battle Royale gameplay, and I think I’m kinda good at it given the number of times I’ve won, but I got tired of those games needing to download a shit ton of content and trying to make me pay for shit, so I haven’t played in a while.

So, I wonder if someone already made a FOSS Battle Royal, at least as an optional game mode inside some other game, like, there are plenty of quake clones and I wanted to know if there is some battle royal around.

flashgnash,

Totally accurate battlegrounds is pretty good and I believe it runs on Linux

As for FOSS you’re gonna struggle, most games aren’t

Meme answer: ask about which distro is the best in a Linux community.

Nemoder,

Not FOSS but free2play and native with vulkan:

lmao.

reached Ace in PUBGM in like 12 seasons in a row, with a ≈25% win ratio in the last ones. got a new Linux laptop 2 years ago. been playing Apex Legends since then and all I can say is: prepare to have your ass whooped, constantly and mercilessly

Lol

thisisawayoflife,

There was a game called The Culling. The sequel was crap and it bombed immediately. The first one was excellent though.

just_another_person,

Probably not FOSS, since the entire premise behind Battle Royale games involves hosted server time. I’ve played plenty through Proton that work great though.

There's no reason it couldn't be done. Devs just don't release the server code anymore. Pirate servers for MMOs are run all the time.

just_another_person,

Disagree. If you release a FOSS version of PUBG and have no server infrastructure, the game is dead.

It's literally dead after it stops making money when the devs turn the servers offline. If you release a FOSS battle royale, you understand that the game either needs bots or organizers to get enough players to fill it. That's no different than running Xonotic, just at a different scale. (There were/are also battle royales that operate with smaller player counts than PUBG or Fortnite or whatnot, which makes this easier to solve.)

just_another_person,

Cool. Have an example of this?

Of which? Running a server for Xonotic? You can download it from the web site and follow the instructions. Battle Royales with fewer than 99 players? The Darwin Project operated with only 10. Spellbreak appeared to max out at 42.

andruid,

Honestly battle royal seems like it should be hard to make a gameplay mode for Xontix

syze,

CS:GO used to have a battle royale mode called Danger Zone, maybe CS2 has it too.

just_another_person,

Newp. It was not popular.

JustEnoughDucks,

Cs2 doesn’t even have gungames, scoutknivez, or any fun casual game modes like CS:GO.

Golden age was still minigames and gungames servers of CS:S. Those minigame servers were a blast.

undrwater,

There’s a game called bzflag which has several games modes. One might be battle Royale style.

It’s tank battle, though. Still fun!
