Arcade Game Modes

Other than an event like the summer one where you know there will be Lucio ball is there a set pattern or a website that has what the daily arcade modes will be or do you just have to log in and hope the one(s) your looking for available?

The FFA card has a pattern of Chateau → All Maps → Petra → Kanezaka → Mystery.

EDIT: Check the other replies below for more info on the other cards

You can check the current modes without having to log in here:

Total mayhem is every second day. Assuming nothing is messing with arcade slots available.

Most modes are predictable in all cases except during events where the event modes take up 2 cards.

When there is no event, you have:

  1. Three permanent slots:
    a) Mystery Heroes
    b) QPC
    c) FFA rotating variants, as you mentioned
  2. 3 cards that alternate on a daily rotation (i.e. they swap back and forth every other day):
    a) No-Limits/Total Mayhem
    b) CTF/6v6 elimination
    c) 3v3 Elimintation/TDM
  3. The last card rotates through the “miscellaneous” modes - e.g. 1v1, mirror deathmatch, hero gauntlet, etc.

When there is one event slot used, cards 2a and 2b are merged into a four day rotation.

When 2 slots are used, cards 2a, 2b, and 3 are merged into essentially a random selection

When 3 cards are used, if memory serves, that random slot just gets removed and you’re left with only the permanent cards and the 3v3/TDM slot.
