Game Modes[edit | edit source]
All of these game modes are playlist takeovers rather than LTMs. Similar to the Grand Soirée event, the game modes in this event rotate often, instead of only one game mode through the entire duration of the event. The announcer for each of these game modes is Maggie.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- At the beginning of the event, Second Chance had a bug where after you got respawned the first time, the kills and time survived earned beyond that point would not be counted towards stats. This is because the game thinks you are still dead even after you got respawned the first time. It was removed 8 hours after the event started and replaced with Armor Regen.
- Due to some more issues, Auto Banners was turned off and replaced with Ultra Zones again. On April 19th, 2021, Respawn announced that Ultra Zones would run until April 21st, and Armor Regen will return after that until the 27th. Killing Time will be saved for a future date to avoid any further issues.
- Originally, the game modes were supposed to rotate every two days, and there were supposed to be seven game modes rather than five. Two game modes were scrapped from the event:[1]
- "Flare Up", which would've originally had multiple short-lived Ring Flares (lasting about 45 seconds) across the map, but it was scrapped due to the backlash about Ring Fury and the fact that it would've been another variant of Ring Fury.
- "Armed Drop", which would've given the players a full loadout at the beginning of a match, but was scrapped because it wasn't fulfilling the goals of the event and/or because it may have been another variant of Locked and Loaded.
