These in-game items are acquired by defeating specific non-player characters (NPCs) at designated locations within the battle royale environment. As tangible objects, they confer persistent advantages to the possessor, impacting gameplay dynamics. For instance, retaining one of these items can provide continuous shield regeneration.
The strategic value of these items stems from the advantages they provide, influencing player tactics and creating incentives for confrontation. Historically, their introduction marked a significant shift in gameplay, promoting more dynamic engagements across the map and adding a risk/reward element to confrontations with boss characters. Obtaining one presents immediate benefits but also broadcasts the player’s general location to others, creating potential vulnerabilities.
