Hot Swap

For those that have played Fiescalation in MCC or other gun games in another popular shooter, Hot Swap should be fairly familiar. If not, it’s okay—we got you covered!

Overall, this is a very straightforward and simple mode. It’s your team vs the enemy team and everyone has the same weapons and equipment. Yes, everyone. In other versions of this mode, you often find your weapons/loadouts advancing to the next tier after each kill but in Hot Swap, you’ll keep those loadouts for 30 seconds at a time. After that, the proverbial dice are rolled and everyone is gifted a new combo. Hone your skill and stay flexible – things can change on a dime.

Here are the set loadouts you should be prepared to work with at any given moment:

Primary
Secondary
Equipment
M41 SPNKr
Ravager
Repulsor
Energy Sword
Gravity Hammer
Shroud Screen
S7 Sniper Rifle
Skewer
Grappleshot
MLRS-2 Hydra
Cindershot
Repulsor
CQS48 Bulldog
Needler
Grappleshot
BR75
VK78 Commando
Threat Sensor
Shock Rifle
Stalker Rifle
Drop Wall
Heatwave
Fuel Rod SPNKr
Thruster
MA40 Assault Rifle
M392 Bandit
Drop Wall
Mangler
MA5K Avenger
Quantum Translocator
Plasma Pistol
Mk50 Sidekick
Thruster
Disruptor
Sentinel Beam
Repair Field
Oddball
None
Thruster


While you may see a repeat loadout, it won’t happen until you’ve cycled through the entire list. Also if you are mid-grapple when things swap, you might find yourself saying, “wow I flew pretty good for a brick!” as your grapple disappears midway through. Good luck.

You’ll be playing on a variety of current Arena maps that should be familiar but there is one new map to check out:

Focus on the enemy, don’t let the map’s edges become your nemesis.
