Your first moves after dropping in

Step

In short Getting a weapon early puts you in a much stronger position than players who go straight for the crowded center.

You land in the arena with punching available by default, but weapons found in the arena increase your combat strength significantly. The center of the map has loot, but fewer items spawn there now, so competition for those spots is fierce.

Pick up the first weapon you find equip it immediately.
Grab healing items save them for when your health drops.
Weigh the center loot fewer items spawn there now due to a recent update.

Staying ahead of disasters and the barrier

Warn

In short Losing track of the safe zone is one of the most common ways to die, even in a strong position.

Disasters strike parts of the arena throughout the match, dealing continuous damage to anyone caught outside the safe zone. The barrier that defines the safe zone closes randomly, so you cannot predict exactly when or where it will shrink. Check the on-screen indicator constantly.

Worth watching out for

Watch the safe-zone display at all times it updates as the barrier closes.

Start moving early the barrier closes randomly, so do not wait for the last moment.

Do not finish a fight if the barrier is about to close retreating alive beats dying to a disaster.

Combat decisions that keep you alive

Tips

In short Punching is always available as a default attack, even if you have no weapon.

Punching is the default attack for every player. The Brawler perk buffs this default punch if you have it.

Tips worth knowing

Remember that punching is always available by default — you are not completely unarmed without a weapon.
The Brawler perk strengthens the default punch.

Arenas and what makes each one different

Summary

In short Each arena has its own hazards, and winning in all of them earns you a full set of badges.

There are more than a dozen distinct arenas, each with its own environment and the dangers that go with it. Winning a round in each one unlocks a dedicated badge.

Forest　wolves are the signature threat in this arena.
Island　tidal-wave conditions define the danger here.
Arctic　freezing temperatures are the constant hazard.
Ruined City　zombie-themed threats fill this map.
Grasslands　conditions can shift sharply from calm to dangerous.
Swamp　bugs and snakes make this one of the more hostile environments.
Mountain　vertical terrain means long drops are a real danger.
Dunes　extreme heat is the defining challenge.
Canyons　described as pleasant but still requires a win to badge.
Archipelago　swimming ability matters more here than on land-heavy maps.
Redwoods　earthquake conditions are the headline hazard.
Jungle　positions you as the apex predator if you can win it.
Abandoned Quarry　added in the September 1, 2026 update as the winner of a map contest; darkness is the defining challenge.

Perks and how to unlock them

Table

In short Two perks are tied to specific badges, and the Brawler perk changes how your default punch performs.

Perks are bonuses unlocked by earning badges. Two of them come from earning specific badges, while Brawler affects the punch that every player has by default.

Animal Lover	unlocked by earning the One with Nature badge, which requires surviving across many different arenas.
Crowd Pleaser	unlocked by earning the Champion badge, which requires reaching the maximum level.
Brawler	buffs the default punch.

Badge goals worth chasing

In short Tracking which arenas you have won and how close you are to max level gives you a clear long-term target beyond individual matches.

Win at least one round in every named arena to collect all 13 arena badges.
