Guide to PC BFN Multiplayer
Post Body

Having trouble with finding a match? Don't worry. After 300 hours of playing this game on PC, I have made a guide on which regions are best to play each mode. This guide includes the best times to play, the best modes, and overall troubleshooting issues with the game's matchmaking.

Troubleshooting:
- Stuck on the Giddy Park Portal matchmaking screen? This probably means the region you have selected isn't playing the mode you currently want to play. Try switching regions to the most popular ones, listed in this guide.
- Unknown Region with ungodly ping? This is a visual bug that blocks you from switching regions. To fix this, restart the game.
- Stuck on the loading screen after quitting to Giddy Park? This is a common issue that many players have noted recently. The easiest solution is to restart the game, but waiting up until 5 minutes works too. Currently, it's unknown why this bug occurs.

Modes (Morning):

- Weekly Mode
Depending on how popular the mode is, this is the most likely mode you'll find matches on.
Best regions are Europe and Australia.

- Battle Arena
This mode is not that popular, but in prime morningtime BFN playsessions, you can MAYBE find a match or two.
Best regions are Europe and NA East.

- Turf Takeover
The most popular mode. The 8v8 change made it easier to find matches, though it's less chaotic.
Best regions are Europe and NA West.

- Team Vanquish
The second (or third) most popular mode. Prime time is between 8 AM to 12 pm.
Best regions are NA East and Europe/Australia.

- Graveyard/Garden Ops
This is one of those modes where it doesn't really matter which region you play on, but if you want multiple people...
Best regions are NA East and NA West.

- Mixed Modes
You will never find a match for this. Because of it's randomness, people will likely never drop in your match. Popcap, please seperate the modes. Thanks.
Best regions are... idk, Europe and Australia?

Modes (Afternoon):
Same as the Morning times, but Battle Arena changes to NA East and NA West.

Modes (Night):

- Weekly Mode
Usually the second most popular mode.
Best regions are NA East/West and South America.

- Battle Arena
Best regions are NA East/West and Asia... probably.

- Turf Takeover
Still the most popular mode. This is the best time to play if you're European.
Best region is NA East, but Europe/NA West can work at times.

- Team Vanquish
Third most popular mode, is the most likely to find dead lobbies (not counting Mixed Modes), though.
Best regions are NA West and NA East, but Europe works fine.

- Graveyard/Garden Ops
See the Morning times.

- Mixed Modes
Surprisingly, I find a lot of matches in this at night.
Best region is NA East, but Australia (and sometimes Europe) work too.

Extras:

- Giddy Park lobbies are usually full at Night.
- Saturdays and Fridays are the best days to play BFN.
- The best region is Europe for Morning/Afternoon, and NA East for Night.
- The worst region is Asia, and the second worst is South America.
- Rose mains have small peepees.

I hope you all have a better experience on finding BFN matches after reading this guide! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments.
