Armed and Dangerous

"Armed and Dangerous" redirects here. For the Season 8 Quest chapter, see Armageddon#Armed and Dangerous.

Armed and Dangerous is a limited-time game mode first made available during the Voidwalker event, on Kings Canyon, and later came back in the Grand Soirée event, this time on World's Edge. In this mode, the only available weapons are sniper rifles and shotguns, and only very few Common body shields can be found.

Details

• Shotguns and Snipers only
  • Enabled Guns: Mozambique Shotgun, Peacekeeper, EVA-8 Auto, Longbow DMR, G7 Scout, and the Triple Take.
• Attachments not used by Snipers or Shotguns are disabled
• Gold variants of weapons spawn in High Tier loot zones and in airdrops
• Kraber and Mastiff loot values are tuned so they spawn in late-game airdrops and very rarely as ground loot (1-2 per game each)
• Reduced Armor
  • Disabled Loot: Body Shield (Rare/Epic/Legendary), Helmet (Rare/Epic/Legendary)
  • Spawn rate for Common Armor and Helmets is reduced.
• Ground Loot Drop Chances are reduced by 45% (Supply Bins are not affected by this)
• Bullet Counts and Stacks are modified:
  • Light Rounds: 16 per drop, 32 per inventory slot
  • Energy Ammo: 16 per drop, 32 per inventory slot
  • Heavy Rounds: 7 per drop, 14 per inventory slot
  • Shotgun Shells: 7 per drop, 28 per inventory slot
• Overall, loot density is reduced, but ammo/weapon spawn rates are increased and stack sizes are increased to offset the loot scarcity and allow players to have enough ammo to not discourage combat.
• Increased spawn rates for Syringes to compensate for lower loot density.
• Reduced spawn rates for Shield Batteries to match the rarity of armor.

Armed and Dangerous Evolved

A modified version of Armed and Dangerous that was introduced during the Lost Treasures event, Armed and Dangerous Evolved uses the same basic premise with two notable differences; Respawn Beacons and all Body Shield tiers are removed.

Details

• Shotguns and Snipers only
  • Enabled Guns: Mozambique Shotgun, Mastiff Shotgun, EVA-8 Auto, Longbow DMR, Charge Rifle, Sentinel and the Triple Take.
• Attachments not used by Snipers or Shotguns are disabled.
• Only armor that can be looted from the ground or from supply bins are Level 1 Evo Shields
• Bullet Counts and Stacks are modified:
  • Shotgun Shells: 7 per drop, 28 per inventory slot
  • Sniper Ammo: 7 per drop, 14 per inventory slot
• Respawn Beacons are removed from the map, reviving squadmates requires a new item, the Mobile Respawn Beacon.
