It happens more often than you'd think!

Plus, you can use the storm to kill them for you - just stay in the ever decreasing circle longer than they do. There are videos on Youtube of no kill Battle Royale victories.
one tactic is: stockpile grenades. (unless you find a rocket launcher)
Up to the end just hide for most of it until there are only 2 left.
90% of the time the other person will build a fort. If you get lucky and they make it massive, spam all of your grenades at the base of their fort, assault rifle anything remaining and try and kill them with the fall.

Did something similar in squads. Me and another guy against 4 others. I died, and stayed watching him. He took out all 4 in a fall from a fort that was too tall!

Even better, use a silenced weapon from a nearby bush to knock out the bottom walls of the fort - they'll never even know their fort is about to fall out from under them! wink

In the staging area you can actually edit your 4 original pieces for that game only. So if you are quick enough you could say edit the roof piece to be a split staircase. Then in the game it will always be that piece as soon as you place it.

One game I caught a team laying zig zag stairs one after the other right up into the sky. The must have been using this method. Didn't stop me shooting out the bottom one though lol (vid further up in the thread).

50 v 50 adds a different dynamic. I only have to hide from 50 people now and claim credit when my team wins!

can be really hard to get kills in though.

tends to be, go look for weapons, turn up at the frontline and it's all over before you get there. 1 person left hiding someone random
or, go to front line, die.
or get weapons, get to frontline and lose badly.

This mode and Blitz mode are my favourite. 50 vs 50 is unreal when it's kicking off in the circle.

Yeah, and then you get the total a$$hats on your team who won't revive you (despite you having revived them) and just wait for you to die to steal your loot, or even worse, will shoot out bridges etc from under you to kill you so they can steal your loot.

50 vs 50 is a great idea, ruined by the players. frown

In the 50 vs 50 mode, there should be some form of reward for reviving players to encourage others to do it, say you have 25hp restored or something? But only if it's an opposing player that's knocked the player down obviously. It is annoying when people don't revive you.

To be honest, people will always find a way to fcensoredk other people over for their benefit. Unfortunately, it just seems to be human nature.

Seriously though, there needs to be a cool down timer on repetitive jumping, I'm sick to death of pogo-shotgun duels.

There is, but it needs turning up more.

If you constantly jump in a straight line your jumps get smaller and smaller.

Friendly fire is a massive risk! Getting pushed or shot off high platforms so "team mates" can loot you is part and parcel apparently.

More action than solo though, for sure.

Looks like eliminations don't count towards your totals in 50 v 50

Wins and kills don’t go onto your profile but challenges count.

Managed 13 kills in a 50v50 last night. I like to land over the enemy line if I can and sneak a few early kills, when it comes off double figure kills is quite straight forward.

Mine haven't counted towards challenges either frown

I am getting quite into the game now. Not bothered with the battle pass yet.

Need to get better at building and close quarters battles.

I am doing ok at sneaky close kills and some long range stuff though but the first win is still ellusive. Have had a few 2nds in the thanos mode but been killed 1v1 by thanos and plenty top 5’s aswell.

Mine have been. Did pistol and smg elimination challenges and been slowly doing the dance in front of the camera weekly one from this week’s battle pass. All been adding on last night.
