Overview

Battle Royale without player-built structures: terrain, shields and mobility carry more tactical weight.

02

How it works

The same survival objective applies, but you cannot create instant walls or ramps; Zero Build uses an Overshield mechanic.

03

Practical advice

Move between hard cover, use height carefully and keep a reliable escape or repositioning option.

04

Mistakes to avoid

Do not cross open ground just because your current Overshield is full.
