Event Mode: Desert Knights [Sep 27-30] (Xbox)

Hello everyone,

This weekend, we will running the Desert Knights event again but with slight adjustments to the rules.

We understand that many players were disappointed in last weekend’s event due to there only being a solo queue option. We were able to fix stability issues with group queueing, and it will be available in this weekend’s event!

We are also planning to run the same events for 2-4 weekends at a time, while iterating and improving the event each week to reflect community feedback.

In this second iteration of Desert Knights, you will drop into Miramar with an 8-person squad, kitted with all level three gear, a care package weapon, and other items. Teams will get points for knockdowns and kills, and the team that reaches 150 points, or has the highest points after 15 minutes, wins the battle.

There will be three 8-man squads, increasing the maximum amount of players from 20 to 24 in this event. Matches will also end in 15 minutes rather than 12 minutes.

Please be sure to leave us your feedback on stability, performance, and on the event itself!
