Hi, bth I never played fortnite, but I tried PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile and I honestly enjoyed the Battle Royale gameplay, and I think I'm kinda good at it given the number of times I've won, but I got tired of those games needing to download a shit ton of content and trying to make me pay for shit, so I haven't played in a while.

So, I wonder if someone already made a FOSS Battle Royal, at least as an optional game mode inside some other game, like, there are plenty of quake clones and I wanted to know if there is some battle royal around.

Probably not FOSS, since the entire premise behind Battle Royale games involves hosted server time. I've played plenty through Proton that work great though.

There's no reason it couldn't be done. Devs just don't release the server code anymore. Pirate servers for MMOs are run all the time.
