Props to create an area for your players to compete in.

Follow these steps to set up your level:
-
Add one Player Spawn Pad device on one end of the level. This will be the area where Team 1 will spawn. Hide the spawn pad behind a wall or other obstacle to prevent players from attacking each other from their spawn.
-
Select the spawn pad in the Outliner to open its Details panel.
-
In the Details panel, under User Options:
-
Set Player Team to Team Index with a value of 1.
-
Disable Visible in Game.

-
Duplicate the spawn pad and place it somewhere else in the Team 1 spawn area.
-
Duplicate both spawn pads and drag them over to the Team 2 spawn area.
-
Select the spawn pads in the Team 2 spawn area, and in the Outliner under User Options, change the value of Team Index to 2 for both.
-
Add one Item Granter device outside of the arena, hidden from any players.
-
Select the item granter in the Outliner to open its Details panel.
-
In the Details panel, under User Options:
-
Click Add Element to Item List.
-
Set the Item Definition to Combat Pistol L1.

-
-
Duplicate the item granter device nine more times, changing the Item Definition to the next weapon in the sequence you want your players to use. A fun sequence might have easy-to-use, weaker weapons like pistols early, stronger weapons like Rifles and SMGs in the middle, and difficult to use powerful weapons like sniper rifles and explosives near the end. Set the final weapon to something very difficult, such as the Basic Sword L1, or the Flint-Knock Pistol L1. An example weapon sequence might look like:
-
Combat Pistol L1
-
Assault Rifle L1
-
Auto Shotgun L1
-
Sideways Scythe L1
-
Stinger SMG L1
-
Makeshift Bow L2
-
Rocket Launcher L1
-
Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle L1
-
Grenade Launcher L3
-
Basic Sword L1
-
-
Add two Sentry devices to the level, close together but without their ranges overlapping. Select each sentry device, and in the Details panel under User Options:
-
Set Weapon Type to Shotgun.
-
Set Accuracy to Deadshot.
-
Enable Respawn on a Timer.
-
Set Friendly Team to Team Index with a value of 1 for the first sentry, and 2 for the second sentry. This ensures each team has a sentry to test eliminations on.

-
In the Outliner select the Island Settings device. In the Details panel under User Options - Game Rules:

Set Team Size to Split Evenly. This will balance players evenly between the two teams.
