Rifthunter Games

The rifthunter games are a series of battle royale matches, fought out on the badlands island atoll, on the southernmost part of Rydios.

During the games, 40 teams of 2 fight against each other in a bloody fight for life and death in which only 2 victors remain in the end. The most important difference that differentiates the games from other Battle Royale games such as the Apex Games, is the inclusion of sponsorships.

Sponsorship System
At the beginning, every squad has 5 tiers to go through which unlock themselves after wiping other squads. After every squad wipe, the team gains one tier, which unlocks them a brand new sponsorship item, which can range from weapons, to vehicles, to tools. The effectivity of the items increase with tier rankings.

A tier 1 item for example is never going to be as useful as a tier 5 item simply because tier one has more regulations than 5.

One can expect a silencer or a different scope for a tier one reward but there have been recorded cases of tanks as tier 5 items.

Because of this, the participants are more or less forced to kill as many people as possible in order to reach tier 5 and maximize their chances of winning

Sponsor Selection
The selection of a viable sponsor is a whole different story. The item's usability within the tier is ranked in by a group of independent judges, thus rising or lowering the entrance fees for said items making it very hard to almost impossible for smaller sponsors to keep up with the big sponsors.
