Abstract
Various popular multiplayer battle royale games share a lot of common elements. Drawing from our observations, we summarized these shared characteristics and subsequently proposed a novel heuristic algorithm named multiplayer battle game-inspired optimizer (MBGO). The proposed MBGO streamlines mainstream multiplayer battle royale games into two discrete phases: movement and battle. Specifically, the movement phase incorporates the principles of commonly encountered ``safe zones'' to incentivize participants to relocate to areas with a higher survival potential. The battle phase simulates a range of strategies adopted by players in various situations to enhance the diversity of the population. To evaluate and analyze the performance of the proposed MBGO, we executed it alongside eight other algorithms, including three classics and five latest ones, across multiple diverse dimensions…
