First priority: find a helmet. A helmet blocks the first headshot - without one you're a single tap away from game over.

Game modes

Standard (with bots)

The default mode pads lobbies with bots to keep the pace arcade-fast. Their ranks in the elimination feed reflect how they actually played, and a real player joining swaps one bot out.

SOLO (NO BOTS)

Purist mode added in the October update - no bots in the match at all. Slower to fill, much harder to farm.

TRIOS

Three-player squads added in update 1.0.9 - queue with two friends or fill with randoms.

Midnight Candy Rush

The Halloween limited-time mode - a crate-loot fight layered on top of the normal BR loop for the seasonal event.

Survival tips

  1. 1
    Helmet before everything

    It blocks the first headshot. Landing without grabbing one means any decent shot deletes you on the spot.

  2. 2
    Watch the elimination feed

    Bot ranks in the feed tell you how dangerous each kill actually was - useful for reading how many real players are left.

  3. 3
    Contest airdrops

    Airdrops can contain the Hunting Rifle - the strongest single-item power spike in the game.

  4. 4
    Keep looting mid-fight

    The pace is arcade-fast: whoever wins the early loot race usually controls the mid-game.

FAQ

Is R1 Battle Royale free?

Yes - free inside Roblox on PC, phone, tablet and console. There's an optional Battle Pass but nothing you need to win costs money.

Are the bots a problem?

They're there to keep matches fast, not to fake player counts - the developer says so directly. A real player joining removes a bot, and SOLO (NO BOTS) mode exists if you want none at all.

How do I redeem codes?

From the lobby, open the codes menu, type the code exactly as written and confirm. Codes are case-sensitive.

What are Skulls and Crowns?

The game's two currencies - skulls and crowns buy crates and cosmetics. The R1LAUNCH code gives you a starting stack of both plus five Alpha Crates.
