Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Custom match mode needs a massive overhaul

This is a pipe dream for sure, but it would be overall better if BHVR devoted some of its efforts into expanding custom matches far beyond what they are now. Players should be able to alter entire rule sets, map tiles, character stats, perk stats, and more.


Want to make a 12v3 mode? Go for it.

Want DS to have a 180 second timer? Make it, you crazy nut.


Want to turn every pallet into an unsafe one? All yours.


Six perk slots? Do it!


I can see this be a great aid to the game overall because 1.) custom matches actually become custom, 2.) people can experiment with all the zany ideas they post about on the forums, 3.) it has the potential to uncover new situations for perk and power combos not possible in public matches.

    That seems like it would take way too much effort and development time dedicated to custom games when the majority of people aren't going to use that feature.

    I think most people would rather they make content and fix the main game.

    You can already use every single perk, item and add-ons on top of selecting the map and setting custom restrictions to the lobby's loadouts for a competitive match.
