Valve has finally decided to join the Battle Royale hype train, as it has decided to take the plunge following the likes of Fortnite, PUBG, H1Z1 and more recently Call of Duty Black Ops 4 to introduce the last man standing and winner takes all game mode.
Welcome to the Danger Zone. https://t.co/GT5ZLj4FBX
— CS2 (@CounterStrike) December 6, 2018
“Danger Zone,” which is Valve’s take on Battle Royale, where players are dropped in an unknown island with no supplies, guns or equipment, with the main aim of surviving till the end as the play area gets smaller and smaller. Players can drop in as Solo, Duo or even as a Trio in the map called as “Blacksite.”
Valve have also taken a bold step and followed Fortnite in making the game free to play, from the $14.99 price earlier. The aim of this move is to maximise the number of users playing and limiting their revenue model to that of in game purchases.
To commemorate this huge update, Valve have released a cosmetic set called the Danger Zone case, which contains 17 community made finishes and horizon knives as rare special items.
