In 2021 alone , players have the opportunity to play Bones and Ashes , Dreaded Legends , Living Legends , Dead Legend and Endless Legends , that is multiple chances to see friends / family of old or to simply make a few new acquaintances . If you did not get a chance to attend Bones and Ashes then do not fear you have more chances to see the wonder that CPX has created and to become a Legend yourself !
Final Battles are a part of almost every scenario game , though they take on different faces and even different names , the process is always pure savagery . It is the last battle , the last round , the final chance to leave everything on the field . Players scramble to adorn themselves with as much paint and air as they can manage to drag out to the field . They even tow carts and wagons loaded with caches . Bones and Ashes is no different , it is the product of an anarchy and chaos marriage . This 4th installment witnessed 800 + players stacking the sides of the mounds field and literally crashing head long into each other for the chance , the hope of edging their team closer to glory . These CPX events are called legends events because their Final Battles truly are where legends are made . The middle of the field is littered with slapsticks marked on each side with a color representing each team . The plan is simple , if you dare , you have to race to the 50 yard line in order to slap the stick to show your team ’ s color . This might sound easy if you do not consider the 400 + players that are attempting to gun you down and change the color of the slapstick mere seconds after you just changed it . You stroll to the back lines , respawn and go attempt the process all over again . Bones and Ashes 4 Final Battle was thirty minutes of adrenaline fueled pandemonium with the occasional point grab , in other words it was a legend ’ s delight .
