What is Champion of Caldera? Season 3 Reloaded LTM

Champion of Caldera is the ultimate Solo Warzone experience.

This 150-player game mode sets the stage by forcing players to fight while escaping the clutches of a storm that is always closing.

Each person will drop in with their custom loadout, a new Redeploy Extraction Token, and a Gas Mask to help them make it to the end.

How do you win in the Champion of Caldera LTM?

Players will need to be making heads-up plays in and out of the gas in this new LTM.

The objective doesn’t change from a normal match in Caldera: you’re still fighting to be the last person standing.

There are a few changes though — like an increased spawn rate for the game’s best weapons, and a few changes to the item pool — so expect to run into more high-powered loadouts and maybe even a few people with Specialist bonuses activated.

However, in order to give everyone a fighting chance at survival, eliminations in this mode will automatically replenish health, ammo, and equipment.

So playing aggressively and staying on the move is the optimal strategy this time around. Coincidentally, Season 3 also brought in a new perk that’s perfect for just such an occasion.
