With limited ways to move around the map, we need the fan favourite Launch Pad back in our Battle Royale lives.

Hot or Drop

With so many weapons and items being vaulted and introduced to us just only a week ago, what weapons should you carry and which weapons should you drop?

The perfect loadout should comprise:

SLOT 1 - AR

SLOT 2 - Shotgun

SLOT 3 - SMG

SLOT 4 - Healing

SLOT 5 - Sniper/ Rocket Launcher/ Healing
