Ready to drop into The Arena? This weekend in H1Z1 features a new unranked mode with a special ruleset, two BRAND NEW rewards, and a Crate Unlocking Sale - more details on each below!
Arcade Mode
H1Z1 is a highly competitive battle royale game, and we wanted to add an option for those who'd like to practice playing on the map without having their matches affect their Season rank. That's why we're introducing Arcade mode - this new option in the Play menu lets you jump straight into an unranked match!
Starting at 10AM PT on Friday, May 4, Arcade mode will unlock with a new special ruleset - HEAVY METAL:
- Parachute into a Solos game with 100 players total
- Rocket launchers, LMGs, and Makeshift Armor have been added to the loot table for maximum mayhem!
Plus, what would a weekend event be without rewards? Read on below for how you can pick up the Heavy Metal Backpack from Arcade mode and the Heavy Metal Makeshift Armor from regular Battle Royale Solos, Duos, or Fives.
Note: With the addition of Arcade mode, you may notice that Events have been removed from the Play menu. Our intention is to use Arcade mode as a way to bring you fun and unique rulesets with exclusive rewards in an unranked environment. Unlike Events which had designated match start times, Arcade mode matches can be started whenever the mode is unlocked for play.
