Battlefield V is going to get its Battle Royale mode in less than 24 hours, and if you want to jump into Firestorm right after release, you better learn the rules of play, before you have to learn it during gameplay.
In Firestorm, like any other Battle Royale games, you will deploy on the map with no weapons and tools, so you have to look for guns and ammo around every corner on the map. Your loadout is limited to carry just 2 primary weapons along a sidearm tool. With this in mind, you should really be careful with what you are picking up for the battle ahead. Besides, you will be able to carry 3 items like grenade or other things plus one empty slot for healing items. However your loadout could get bigger if you pick up backpacks.
All weapons in Firestorm have got a rating for its accessibility on the map. There are three divisions for rarity of guns: Common, Rare and Epic. 16 primary guns will be available in Firestorm at launch, dividing into Submarine Guns, Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Machine Guns, Shotguns and Sidearms. Each weapon has got two rare and epic versions, featuring different abilities that let you use them more effectively against your opponents. Here you can check out weapons and their types:
