Changelog - December 10, 2024
The following changes were made via a backend update on December 10, 2024:
- The Delta Arena playlist has returned as a staple playlist, meaning there are no plans for it to rotate out of matchmaking.
- Due to the return of the standalone Delta Arena playlist, its maps and modes have been removed from the Quick Play and Arena Objective playlists.
- The maps and mode from the "3P | Firefight: King of the Hill" rotational playlist have been added to the Normal difficulty variant of the Firefight: King of the Hill staple playlist.
- If you would like to play only the first-person or the third-person variant of Firefight, use the Select Modes button in the playlist's menu to narrow down the selection to your preferred game modes.
- Vehicle and turret spawns on all maps are now disabled by default when playing the One Shot Slayer game mode.
- Vehicles and turrets can be re-enabled when playing One Shot Slayer in a Custom Game lobby by entering the Mode Editor menu and setting the Vehicle Pads/Placements option to On.

Staple Playlists
Unlike rotational playlists, staple playlists do not rotate out of matchmaking. New maps or modes may be added to staple playlists during the weekly refresh each Tuesday at 11am PT.
Playlists labeled with "[MC]" below utilize the Match Composer feature, which allows players to select which game modes they'd like to play. Deselecting a mode will result in players not matching into that game mode. Please note that selecting a small number of modes may result in longer matchmaking search times due to a lower number of available matches that fit the selected criteria.
Quick Play [MC]
Includes the following modes:
- Escalation Slayer
- Fiesta CTF
- Fiesta Land Grab
- Fiesta Slayer
- Husky Raid

- Mini Slayer
