How does a battle royale work in Arena Boyz?

Depending on the total size of the game,

  1. Players are divided into groups, competing in multiple rounds
  2. Survivors merge for new battles until only one remains
  3. Each turn consists of 2 and only 2 choices a player must make;
    what item to take from the Loot Pool, and which opponent to attack.

There are no character classes in the game, Arena Boyz have randomized stats and starting equipment.

Players build out their characters in-game through loot pickups and combat.

What are loots in Arena Boyz?

Loots are in-game items collected from a communal pool and fallen Arena Boyz such as:

  1. Weapons: Used for attacks that deals damage based on your Arena Boy stats
  2. Passives: These are items that provides boost for your stats
  3. Consumables: Items like grenades, medkits, shields that must be used upon looting

What will happen if you get eliminated?

Your Arena Boy will be marked as KIA (Killed in Action) and all your loot will be for other players to take.

To rejoin the battle, you'll need a new Arena Boy for your comeback!

Is team up possible with other players in the game, and if so, how?


Yes! But there are no team-based mechanics.

You will need to be careful when strategizing and discussing over discord with other players to form alliances, but always remember only one will emerge at the end.


Also, player count may vary from game to game. Some games will have 8 players and others may have hundreds.
