Small Isle

Battle Royale in mode selection

The Small Isle is a smaller variant of its normal mode, Battle Royale.

How To Play

When you start the game whether in a squad or single, you will start the game landing out of a ship. When the ship hovers over the island, you can choose to land in between when the ship crosses both sides of the island. Then, you can pick an effective landing spot.

As the game goes on, you will find chests and pickups in various points. You can only hold 1 weapon from various categories. You cannot store pickups for later use, unlike the video game Fortnite, contrary to many popular assumptions.

As the time goes down and the player count decreases, the 'Deadly' Zone will slowly decrease with short intervals between the decreases. While this happens, if you are stuck in the Deadly Zone, your health will slowly decrease moving on from 1 to 10, during the end game. This gets players closer together to fight in awkward situations.

A player can also join a Squad with friends or clan members, or random players. You can heal another player if they have been knocked down to let them back up. You will see a red pulsing tint over their face if they have fallen, and a skull in place of their face if they have died.

Classic rules:

Shotguns for close range, primary for medium/close range, snipers for long range

Always go for the weapon you prefer the most, such as Rapid Fire Rifle over a Predator middle phase of the mode.

Semi Auto Sniper Rifle should be clicked once, otherwise the large recoil will mess you up a lot.

Go for any gun or chest, even if it’s a bad weapon like Shotgun or Pixel Gun (PG3D), at the start of course.

Tips

As Battle Royale is a difficult mode to play in, here are some tips;

•  Try to land in an unpopulated area packed with basic or blue chests in case you get attacked.
•  Try to memorize the common spawnpoints of pickups and chests. Don't go for golden chests in open areas, as this can easily get you killed.
•  When you find a weapon better than your current one but your previous weapon is somewhat powerful, try to hide that weapon or throw it into the sea if you can.
•   If you have a certain landing point that is somewhat under the ship, fly straight down. Doing this takes you down to the ground quickly.
  •  But if the ship is going over a point nowhere near your desired spawn, then try to fly downwards but still towards the target as if you were an eagle.
•  If a Squadder is tagging along with you with a default skin, try to guide them towards weapons or pickups as they are most likely new. 
  •  Give them a primary weapon or a weapon that doesn't require much skill, e.g. High Voltage
•  Golden chests aren't always noticeable when the buildings are loading (as in you can see through them and see the chests.) Sometimes they will spawn after the textures are done loading, so keep an eye out for a golden glistening.
•  If you are fighting against an opponent with a superior weapon, try to run in a false direction and then sneak to a hiding spot to ambush them.
  •  Also, try to avoid unnecessary confrontation with anyone as they could be a false default skin.
•  Crown supply drops sometimes spawn in remote places after the zone has decreased a lot. They usually land right around the edge of the Deadly Zone, and they give off a purple smoke under them.

  •  If an enemy with a crown tier weapon is standing still, try to take them out with a sniper like Brutal Headhunter. Aim for headshots. 
•  Loot Drops can sometimes be used for perfect loot, especially in this small map. Pick a decent sniper spot such as Lighthouse to snipe the players from and easily hide if you are being attacked.
  •  This tactic is usually effective, especially if there is still a purple fume and the drop is in the process of landing.

Squad Features

If a player chooses to fight the battle inside of a Squad in the small map, they will be teamed with 1-3 other players, randomized. A player will not be able to hurt a fellow Squadder, similar to other modes.

If a player's health goes down to the point where they cannot use guns anymore, they will Fall. If a squad teammate is nearby and tends to the fallen teammate by Healing the player, they will get back up ready to play again. A Healer cannot shoot during this time period, or it will interrupt the process. If a player has Fallen, a red, pulsing hue will overlap their profile skin. If a player has died, then a skull the color of their name will cover their picture.

Before landing and during battle, a player can set markers that highlight a small part of the map, as a sense of nonverbal direction to their teammate to "Go there," or "I'm going there." If you open up your Map and click on a spot, a small flag will appear there in dark blue. That is your marker.

If you can, connect to a third party Voice chat (not programmed into the game, such as a free service like Discord ([1]) to get a certain advantage over random Squads. Try at your best to not use the programmed chat, as it takes too much time to type as well as you standing still, perfect bait for an opponent.

If it is necessary, be sure to Sneak into a hidden spot.

Trivia

• Behind the lighthouse is a gravestone that says "R. I. P. Dear Weapon Designer."
  • The origins behind this gravestone is unknown. However, it might refer to how unbalanced the weapons are, or the old weapon designer was kicked out.
  • This can also be found in Mainland.
  • In the 18.0.0 update, an avatar was added called "Ghost of Weapon Designer", which may be related to this.
• Up to 1-3 chests can all spawn in a single area.
• for the people who don’t play In 15.0.0, it was the first Battle Royale map to be made in pixel gun 3D, which has become the small map as it’s now known.
• At one point in 15.3.0 or 15.4.0 when this map is returned it was name “arcade mode”.
• At all Battle Royale squad mode, if the player is unfortunate enough, when picking up a shield before you get knocked down (not to be confused with the vehicle knock), your shield you picked WILL absorb the damage. This can be good for the last second healing, or get some free protection when you’re revived to pick up more medkit or armor.
• In Swamp Dump if you shoot/shovel the toxic gas things, they deal poison damage to nearby players. This can be very useful to finish off an enemy with a low damage sniper like Law Enforcer or even backups like Red Twins (PG3D).
• Before the 15.1.0 update, you cannot wall hack / see through buildings while in the plane/gliding before it is not as lag as what it is now, which causes everything to load at once.
• The mansion’s interior layout is identical to the mansion in the ‘mafia mansion’ map.
• The champion mercenary, shadow spell and Electro-Blast rifle all used to be in the weapon pool during the beta phase of Battle Royale.
