Is there some FOSS or Linux native Battle Royale? (lemmy.ml)

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.

There's a game called bzflag which has several games modes. One might be battle Royale style.

It's tank battle, though. Still fun!

Meme answer: ask about which distro is the best in a Linux community.

CS:GO used to have a battle royale mode called Danger Zone, maybe CS2 has it too.

Newp. It was not popular.

Cs2 doesn't even have gungames, scoutknivez, or any fun casual game modes like CS:GO.

Golden age was still minigames and gungames servers of CS:S. Those minigame servers were a blast.

There was a game called The Culling. The sequel was crap and it bombed immediately. The first one was excellent though.

Totally accurate battlegrounds is pretty good and I believe it runs on Linux

As for FOSS you're gonna struggle, most games aren't
