The complete overhaul patch for Battle Royale Bootcamp is now available for download!!!
Get ready for a brand new experience! Battle Royale Bootcamp has been completely rebuilt from the ground up and has some great new features! New players now have access to a tutorial map that will introduce them to the controls and instruct them on how to adjust settings like FOV (field of view), Mouse Sensitivity and Keybindings.
New Gameplay Modes!
Battle Royale Mode
One of the most highly requested updates from the community was an actual simulated Battle Royale mode with a moving/shrinking play zone. It took a lot of work, but the Battle Royale mode is now a reality. Simply select the 'Battle Royale" mode from the mode select menu and get ready to battle the AI to be the last man standing. AI now recognise the active play zone and move around accordingly, make sure to get as many kills as you can before that zone closes down otherwise you will have quite a fight on your hands.
Arcade Mode
The second mode in the Battle Royale Bootcamp overhaul patch is an endless waves Arcade mode. Select Arcade mode from the mode select menu to be dropped into the map and start battling between 20-40 bots. Once there are only 10 enemies left on the map, a plane will arrive to unload a new batch of AI bots for you to battle. How many kills can you get in this endless wave mode??
As always I want to give a massive, massive thank you to each and every one of you who have been supporting this project. With the positive feedback from the community as well as the requests for new features and updates, I have been able to provide you all with a much higher quality product than when this project first kicked off. Thank you so much for supporting this project! I look forward to seeing what we can build in the future!

Battle Royale Bootcamp Major Overhaul!
GOOD NEWS!! After a very busy year I am happy to announce that Battle Royale Bootcamp is headed for a major update! I have been busy gathering information from current players on what they would like to see happen with this project. As you all know this is a solo project and being put together by myself only, I would like to personally thank everyone who has purchased the game and shown interest in the project.
I am now in a position to provide all of you with a complete rebuild and am aiming to launch the new version of Battle Royale Bootcamp over the coming months. I have been working hard to improve the AI and include a proper Battle Royale style zone that shrinks as well as loot chests and an improved map for you all to battle it out on.
I will be providing updates more regularly now that I have moved to a proper working location and am able to put in much more time to getting this project where I want it to be.
Thankyou all so much for the support, I look forward to announcing the official release of Battle Royale Bootcamp!
PLANS FOR 2019!
GET READY FOR A BIG YEAR!
BATTLE ROYALE BOOTCAMP v3
Players will be happy to hear that I am pushing ahead with a complete overhaul patch this year. The new build will see updates to almost every aspect of the game and include new features specifically requested by the community.
The previous patches were focused heavily on ironing out performance issues, whereas BRBv3 will be a much more polished product focused on an improved gameplay experience for all players.
Developer Note
I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who has been supporting Battle Royale Bootcamp since early access launch last year. When I started working on this project I had no idea it would be received as well as it has been. Due to the positive feedback from the community, I am now able to take all of the information I've gathered from players and rebuild BRB into something great!

Patch 2.0 Audio Update and Performance Tweak
Patch2.0 IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!
Updates
- After a number of requests by players, I have added enemy footsteps with sound attenuation and spacial occlusion. The addition of footsteps that fade based on distance, player position and camera rotation has changed the feel of the game enormously and made it much easier to locate and predict enemies.
- I've been working to push the performance of BRB even further than the improvements seen in the last patch. A number of models and textures have been further reduced to ensure maximum frame rates for players.
Thank you everyone again for supporting this solo project!
New Update available for download
Performance and Lighting Update
Performance
All textures and meshes are now fully optimised for max frame rates
- All textures have been compressed to minimise memory usage on trivial assets
- All meshes have been rebuilt or compressed to reduce triangle counts resulting in increased frames in "prop-heavy" parts of the map.
Dynamic Lighting and Shadows
The new tweaks to BRBs textures and meshes have opened up the opportunity to bring in dynamic lighting without killing players frame rates.
- A new method for casting and drawing shadows has been introduced
- Shadow artefacts on the landscape have been eliminated due to the new lighting system (no more random shadows on the ground)
- All buildings and props now cast shadows
- Lights on character suits now glow in the dark properly
Bug Fixes & News
- Random shadows on the map eliminated (as mentioned above)
- Time before Health kits disappear has been reduced to eliminate blocking enemy spawns
- Enemy spawn points have been adjusted to minimise the possibility of enemies being pushed into the ground. (players may still experience some enemy spawn collision bugs but I am working towards a fix to eliminate this bug entirely.)
- The vehicle has been removed to improve driving performance and eliminate an issue with the weight of the vehicle causing wild flips.
Thankyou again everyone for supporting Battle Royale Bootcamp, I hope you enjoy the improved frame rates!

Battle Royale Bootcamps major overhaul patch details.
Official Trailer - Patch 1.2

Patch 1.2 Details
I want to personally thank everyone who has been supporting Battle Royale Bootcamp through Steam community links, social media and purchases through Steam. This being a solo project, the feedback and support from the community is extremely beneficial and helps me to make the right decisions with development. The small success in the first few months of Early Access gave me the opportunity to do a complete rebuild + overhaul for the game. I'm happy to announce that Patch 1.2 is NOW LIVE!
All current players can now open up Steam and download the complete overhaul as an update. New players will still be able to pick up the most advanced aim trainer on the market for the same small price of $5.99.
Bug Note:
I have located and applied a fix for the keybinding clash between the default menu button and the interact button. Players can now open the menu with the "Escape" or "O" keys and use "E" for interact without issues.
Thankyou everyone for making this new build possible!

Patch 1.2 Is now LIVE!
Patch 1.2 is now live on Steam
All current players will receive the new rebuilt game as an update download. New players don't need to worry though, the price of the game will not be going up now that the quality is much higher.
I will be making tweaks over the coming days to address any bugs that pop up during gameplay.
Note. I am aware of a bug with the "open menu" button being bound to the interact key and will be applying a fix with a quick patch later today.
Quick Fix: Open menu with Escape>go to KEYS tab. Change the binding for "open menu" from "e" to Escape or "o".
