Bring back BattleRoyal
Please can you bring back the standard battle royal with the bots, the current zombie mode is getting pretty old and tiresome.
I used to have a few rounds to unwind and often get a win... being killed by charge mobs every. Single. Game. is awful.

The Regular Battle Royale will likely return after New Years ends.
In the mean time, it's not impossible to win, in fact there are dozens of players who win multiple times each day. Here's some things to consider when playing ZBR (Zombie BR):
-Take weapons that offer 2 different types of ammo sources so you increase your ammo pool and have less of a chance of running out - example, SMG requires light ammo, and AK requires rifle ammo.
-Unless you're absolutely confident of winning, avoid single shot or slow rate of fire weapons. A sniper or crossbow may seem more useful at first since it has a one hit kill capability on zombies, but as the circle closes, the area becomes more tightly packed. You're better off using weapons that can deal out damage FAST, like an assault rifle, SMG, VSS, or Tactical Shotgun.
-smoke grenades prevent zombies (and the zombie boss) from targeting and attacking you while they're active. Very useful if you get trapped and low on health.
-target nutcrackers first if you're not immediately being chased down, the RPGs they fire can do almost half your health in damage if it's a direct hit and you have no armor.
-the final Santa boss has 3 different HP pools depending on how many people made it to the end. 30,000/60,000/90,000 HP. The more survivors, the more HP he has.
-the final Santa boss has 3 stages of weapons and they change based on his HP levels. Each weapon phase he changes to happens at every 1/3 HP he loses. If he originally has 30,000 HP, he will start with AK at 30,000 HP, change to Grenade phase at 20,000 HP, and finally to minigun phase at 10,000 HP. It will always be in that order: AK, Grenade, and Minigun. You can use that to gauge how much HP he has left.
-Currently the Santa boss will sometimes inaccurately throw his grenades in his 2nd phase. You can usually take advantage of this to heal if needed. Just keep an eye on where they land.
-make sure to check the green searchable containers you find all over the map. They've been boosted for this ZBR mode to have 9 items of guaranteed health or ammo items.
-i always suggest to players to have the injection needles in their quick use meds slot. If you need to use a heavy or medium medpack, you can right click those items inside your inventory screen to use them, saving you time so you don't have to switch your quick use hotbar items.
Hopefully these will help you in the remainder of this and future zombie BR modes. :)
Not sure I said it was impossible...
well explained
