👋Elimination & Survival

Learn how elimination and survival work in BR1, including guaranteed kill earnings, extraction timing, and survival rewards.


Elimination & Survival

There are two main ways to leave a BR1 session: elimination and survival. Each outcome changes what earnings you keep and how profitable the session becomes.

Exit through elimination

When a player is eliminated, they retain 80% - 95% of their elimination earnings depending on their Earnings Retention Bonus (ERB). This means earnings from kills are guaranteed earnings. Once eliminated, players are kicked out of the session and prompted to either 'Play Again' or 'Return to Main Menu'.

For example, if you earn $1.00 from eliminations, you retain $0.80 - $0.95. See the BR1: Operatives Guide for more detail.

Elimination & Survival In-Game UX

Exit through survival

In the bottom left corner of your screen, you can see your Survival clock. It comes in the form of a yellow bar that fills over 5 minutes.

Once the bar is full, you can trigger the action button (F10) to start a 30 second countdown, that when complete, will automatically take you out of the game.

To survive, a player must remain still and not take damage for the entirety of the countdown.

  • The countdown will reset after any movement or damage.

  • Currently, Survival acts as a function that enables you to maintain a strong K/D, and also rewards you monetarily for surviving vs being eliminated.

In-Game Survival System

Benefits of survival

Elimination guarantees earnings from kills, but survival lets you extract cash from Cash Drops & Extractions found around the map.

Be careful, other players can loot your body and steal your cash.

Successfully surviving returns 50% of your spawn fee, cutting your session cost in half. Extracting through Survival is the most profitable way to leave a match.
