Prolonged presence in the storm causes Storm Sickness, which will deal more damage to a player's health, preventing long-term exposure to The Storm. The storm directly damages your health, ignoring shields. Any player in the storm will be damaged, with the amount of damage growing after each time the storm closes in until it hits 10 DPS (Damage per Second). This process is repeated until the match ends. After the storm reaches the eye, another grace period begins and the eye of the storm shrinks. Players have roughly 3 minutes until The Storm starts closing in. Players start out with 100 health and 0 shield. After a minute, the Eye of the Storm, a safe zone, will be marked on the Minimap. After landing, players must find loot either on the floor or through containers to obtain weaponry, healing items, materials and utility items of various rarities.
Upon entering the Battle Bus, players will have 15 seconds to jump out and skydive to wherever they want on the island.
Upon loading into a Battle Royale match, players will spawn on Spawn Island, a place where they can wait until the Battle Bus is ready to fly over the island.
