PvP Matchmaking does not run continuously. Drop Fake switches it on and off during specific time windows throughout the test. Push notifications go out when a window opens. A built-in ping filter blocks players above 150ms from matchmaking to keep matches clean. Duels stay open the entire time with no ping restrictions.
