I don't think this mode is balanced at all :\

Reasons:

This game mode allows you to occasionally use the weapons you have currently equiped in your backpack.

For example, I reach the sniper stage and I get the M107CQ Maple Leaf (which isn't even in the weapon rotation) while everyone else is stuck with 2-hit kill sniper rifles. That is unfair to them. But people with Epics equipped may get those in the rotation which is even worse.

As for players jumping in, what will they do when all the NX users have Gold Passes and the GP users may not even have passes. It would be domination, the Gold Pass users would have Epics, Rares and other NX guns, while the GP users would be stuck with GP-Standard weapons, not even GP-Rare.

If you were to jump in late (leader has 25/45 kills) and the leading player was half decent you would have a very hard time trying to get to the top. It's possible, but hard. If you were to join earlier, yes you have a really big chance of taking over the lead.

It gives good experience for different weapon types, but it is also imbalanced for the people who specialise in one weapon type.
