Firstly, that ring. Pathfinder’s town takeover brings what’s basically an UFC cage made out of force-fields to Olympus. Located beside the Arcadia Supercarrier, weapons and items can’t be used in the squared circle, nor can projectiles of any sort be thrown in. Anyone that gets in is protected, unless you follow them for a close-quarters brawl. Rare loot will spawn inside, just to spice things up.
In a slight change of pace for the FPS game, instead of making the Airdrop Escalation game-type its own individual playlist, it temporarily takes over the standard game mode. Essentially, it’s the same battle royale game you already know, but with sizably more supply drops. The rate is the same as Lifeline’s care package, according to EA’s blog, and these special drops will each include a fully kitted-out weapon. Regular drops still litter the ground as usual.
