Turtle Rock Studios and 2K Have Revealed An Arena Mode Challenge Weekend

News: Take part in the challenge over the course of the weekend and if the community meets the challenge then you will get some free skins.

Evolve players have a new challenge this weekend as 2K and Turtle Rock Studios have challenged the community to win 40,000 Arena Mode games as Hunters this weekend from now until 12:01 AM ET on Monday, June 8. If the challenge is met by the community, everyone who plays Evolve during that time will be rewarded with the entire Hunter Predator Skin Set*, absolutely free! This is a great way for the Evolve community to complete their Predator Skin collection for all 16 Hunters in Evolve.

Released last week as a free title update on all platforms, Arena Mode places players straight into an epic fight with one Monster battling a team of four Hunters to the death in intense, best-of-three matches set in fixed arenas. At the start, you select a map, then you’re in for a best-of-three series of hardcore firefights. The Monster and Hunters are locked in that dome until one side is eliminated. After that match, you immediately jump to another dome on the same map for round two – that continues until there’s a victor.

All the Hunters and Monster begin each match with one perk. Monsters start at Stage 2 with 50 percent armor, but can feed on wildlife in battle to regain armor and even evolve to Stage 3. (Though the size of the mobile arena makes this a tough task.) The dome isn’t coming down. So, for all you Trappers out there, your job got a little easier. There is no dropship timer. Once a Hunter dies in battle, they have to sit it out until the next fight. Players can’t change their character or perk selection between rounds, but Monster players can change their abilities.
