    • Each team reaches the island from opposite sides by bus. On the map, your own bus has a blue silhouette and the enemy bus has a red silhouette.

    • Players have 10 minutes to scan the map for loot before the storm approaches the circle, then 5 minutes to fight, and another 5 minutes for the storm to shrink and disappear.
    • There are always 3–6 supplies falling from heaven every 2 minutes. They also only land in the final storm circle.
    • A dashed line has been added to the map to symbolize the "battle lines" between the two teams. If you cross this line, you run an increased risk of meeting an opponent.
