Is there some FOSS or Linux native Battle Royale? (lemmy.ml)

Hi, bth I never played fortnite, but I tried PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile and I honestly enjoyed the Battle Royale gameplay, and I think I'm kinda good at it given the number of times I've won, but I got tired of those games needing to download a shit ton of content and trying to make me pay for shit, so I haven't played in a while.

So, I wonder if someone already made a FOSS Battle Royal, at least as an optional game mode inside some other game, like, there are plenty of quake clones and I wanted to know if there is some battle royal around.

There's a game called bzflag which has several games modes. One might be battle Royale style.

It's tank battle, though. Still fun!

Meme answer: ask about which distro is the best in a Linux community.

CS:GO used to have a battle royale mode called Danger Zone, maybe CS2 has it too.

Cs2 doesn't even have gungames, scoutknivez, or any fun casual game modes like CS:GO.

Golden age was still minigames and gungames servers of CS:S. Those minigame servers were a blast.

Newp. It was not popular.

There was a game called The Culling. The sequel was crap and it bombed immediately. The first one was excellent though.

Totally accurate battlegrounds is pretty good and I believe it runs on Linux

As for FOSS you're gonna struggle, most games aren't
