Arena Breakout is live.

[Hyperle7hal]

Can't wait to play Breakout on arena maps this weekend, said no one ever. Why is team doubles not a playlist yet? It's not like people don't want it.

First game was on Regret. No weapons other than Shotgun rofl.

 

Anyone get an asymmetric yet?

[Brutality]

Just played Arena Breakout on Plaza. A symmetrical game type on an asymmetrical map. Hmm... Would work if the sides switched every round but nahhh

You're telling me it doesn't?

 

How does it get any more basic than that?

Horrible memories coming back from last weekend's Trials of Osiris spawning on Alpha side of Widow's Court

What was the weapon layout?

[Brutality]

What was the weapon layout?

Didn't have time to tell. One teammate quit and it ended quickly after that lol

[iEclipseeee]

Only played one game of Arena Breakout, already noticed players are more aggressive. I like playing on different maps, keeps it interesting

[Moa]

Right now, the 'bonus' XP in the Arena Breakout list is near-useless because of how fast games finish. I wish we could stop this bonus XP crap and just do straight up double XP.

Or RP. XP is worthless to me. You get practically nothing for levelling up.

So wait, is the SPNKR just a new base weapon instead of a legendary weapon?

[Vetoed]

Played Fathom... Shotgun bottom mid, that's it.

 

Eden has rockets and shotgun.

Yes its basically a new weapon (I believe)

[VinFTW]

Let's start compiling a list, maybe a separate thread specifically for feedback for breakout arena? @@Moa (since it's just a weekend playlist).

 

So far it seems like power weapons on map are off/pointless.

[Edain]

Hopefully it's place-able in forge. Same with the Classic BR.

You can use the SPNKR in Forge.

Radar needs to go in arena breakout. 

[xSociety]

Radar needs to go in arena breakout. 

It has Radar?!?! LOL

Catching up on this thread, I guess everybody hates @@TheIcePrincess now.

Yup. Bad weapon layouts. The one thing that determines whether or not the game type is viable was not done properly. Needed 2+ STRONG Power Weapons per map, or powerups.

[Moa]

It's Arena settings, just like Team Arena. Of course it does.

[Vetoed]

So far it's a million times better than regular Breakout (as expected). If Breakout stays in competitive, this better replace it.

[VinFTW]

-truth needs to go

-radar needs to go

-power weapons on EVERY map need to be added (sniper, hydra)

-switch sides (probably not a system built in the game yet)

 

@@Sal1ent

 

Just off the top of my head. Will give more feedback after I play this weekend.
