Quick and easy in sauerbraten
A battle royale mod for sauerbraten only requires a huge map and some simple spaghettimod stuff.
With the spaghettimod servermod you could easily distribute different weapons over the map.
Just put some placeholders there and then replace them on the fly. Of course you can also do that in your own mod. It does not have to be spaghetti but it is already there and free to use.

License violation
When you really intend to publish another game, you are not allowed to use most of the assets you included in your repository. They are tied to the game Cube 2: Sauerbraten and have different licenses.
Please read http://sauerbraten.org/README.html#license

"If you insist on making a standalone game based on Cube 2, do realize that only the sourcecode is yours to use freely (if you abide by the ZLIB license, see below), while the media is not. You can't simply redistribute the entire package with your modified files, as the majority of game media is not yours to use freely (it is made by many authors with a variety of licences and copyright restrictions). Unless you have explicit permission from the authors, or the readme says explicitly "may be used for any purpose" or similar language, it will be illegal to include in your standalone game based on the engine (you may not assume that just because a file has no explicit license, that it is free of copyright). Therefore, if you wish to produce a standalone game, be prepared to make many of the maps, models, textures, sounds etc from scratch yourself."
