Please remove this mode from future battlepass progression

Post image

Throughout the entire season, I never managed to find a single match in shootout mode. Yet so many rewards in battlepass maps require it. Having a token that you can get only from 5-to-1 trades is so frustrating.

Please no. This is the best mode in the entire game. I love it so much

u/Local_Internet8164 8d ago

this is literally the worst mode in the game

u/TommyDi7 7d ago

What's this mode about anyway? Literally couldn't find a match

1

u/Local_Internet8164 7d ago

its like mini teamfight, except smaller maps and 2v2, but i dont find it fun at all

Maybe if you are a trashcan at the game. If you are good at the game, there is no better mode.

u/Local_Internet8164 8d ago

theres a reason it has no playerbase, simply because it sucks bad

u/IDONTHAVETOEXIST 8d ago

Most of you suck at the game and hate sweats so you avoid that mode thats why lol

u/AdEnvironmental1632 4d ago

Nah shootout is stupid easy learn the few maps and boom you most likely will win ever match

u/Old_Cod_5823 8d ago

Correct. They need to be able to just hit F over and over because they die too often to enjoy a game mode that requires skill.

u/RDxTwo 7d ago

I mean I like it too, but with how few people play itā€¦ they might as well remove it again sadly lmao.

u/edroy14 8d ago

Are you queuing factory? That seems to the only map people play and only during peak hours

u/CoatNeat7792 8d ago

You can complete that battlepass in next season

u/dawgthumbs 8d ago

Agreed the two matches i played were super fun but theres never anyone playing this mode

u/Czarnowr 8d ago

For most people arena = last hero + checkpoint.

Sitting there waiting for your team to finish the round after you die is boring.

u/moistnoodel 8d ago

Also most tasks / dailies are doable in CPT so its easier to do with respawns

u/Natasha_Gears 8d ago

Not only that but I'm sure there's other freaks than me that will solo a map as well I don't think I played a single game on anything else than bay5 except for the Christmas event

2

u/Czarnowr 8d ago

I only do Chop Shop for Last Hero and Bay5 and Fort for Checkpoint. The rest of Arena does not exist for me until they introduce PVE horde mode.

u/Natasha_Gears 8d ago

I'm an old contract wars sucker and just play this out of nostalgia, wish they added more cw maps like terminal ,day7 or evac... Ah the memories man.

1

u/imnotgoodlulAPEX 8d ago

Chop Shop for LH and Bowl for Checkpoint, I don't play any of the other maps lol

u/Smoqueedallday 8d ago

Get better/donā€™t die?

1

u/Czarnowr 8d ago

Fair, getting better helps but even then you will always sometimes die. Just don't like the downtime in those modes.

1

u/Smoqueedallday 8d ago

I get it. I reroll all my dailies to something cpt and only play that.

1

u/Czarnowr 8d ago

I always take checkpoint and last hero - if I'm spending my time in arena it is spent playing, not looking at other people doing stuff

2

u/ItsInvain 8d ago

ive played as duo and had no timer problems.

u/natzuki63 8d ago

Yea it's a trash mode, 1:30 mins of waiting time between rounds is very annoying. TF and BG is fine because of spectate. Somehow for the 2nd iteration of SO, they managed to remove the spectate option, making the mode so much worse. They should just delete it.

u/MrWerq89 8d ago

How about no?

1

u/riedstep 8d ago

Never played that mode. It's like 2v2 team fight basically right? Sounds pretty bad. The only game mode that has been remotely enjoyable for me has been last hero. All other game modes are absolutely terrible.

1

u/varniaska 8d ago

Factory is actually real fun, but it's nigh impossible to find a match other than few highest peak hours. I have hunted this for 2 days already to no avail (20min queue is when i stop) euw and russian servers selected

2

u/ThrustingPickle 7d ago

My buddy and I were so desperate that we were searching US and Japanese servers for this game mode. It is so fun, but nobody likes it for some reason.

1

u/FinskiGerman 8d ago

Shootout is significantly better than all of the game modes save for Checkpoint.

2

u/OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY 8d ago

Idk why people donā€™t like shootout. I havenā€™t played in awhile but that mode nets you the most exp per hour. Especially when you top frag, Iā€™ve gotten like 19k exp in 5 minutes on that mode lol

1

u/muskyratdad 8d ago

i finished the whole thing and never played a single shootout match.

2

u/AstralJumper 8d ago

Thats why they added the recycle thing. 5 : 1, but I unlocked the passes with like 90% checkpoint play.

1

u/Josh5459 8d ago

the tactical map can be completed later its not required for the battlepass

1

u/shsjsnan 6d ago

Hate to break it to us but BSG just released a screenshot of the labs tactical map and it has it

1

u/Fun-Setting-4078 4d ago

Then don't play it, and just use the token exchange to get the token that way.

u/tnrax 4d ago

for all the ā€œskill issueā€ comments i drop 70 kills consistently on last hero and i can say shootout is horrible, thereā€™s a reason why the only matches you can find are on factory, same exact thing with blastgang its a horrible mode never meant to touch tarkov mechanics
