- As a reminder, your Battle Pass tokens are not reset between Chapters. If you didn’t complete the Chapter 1 Battle Pass yet, you’ll still be able to unlock that content over the rest of the season.
Battle Royale
- Added a “Last Man Standing” announcement which plays when you’re the only one alive on your team
- Added a new Point of Interest to Glacier
- Added invisible walls around the outer bounds of each biome to prevent flying out of bounds
Arena
- Added the ability to rejoin a match in progress after leaving or being disconnected
- Added and adjusted a number of portal walls on Bypass
Balance Changes
- (Aeros) Rush Ability
- Now also grants immunity from debuffs, such as stuns or slows, while the ability is active
- (Meridian) Phasma SMG
- Reduced the speed at which shots grow by 50%
- Reduced the maximum size of shots by 20%
- Dev Note: Because the Phasma is not a hitscan weapon, its projectiles grow as they travel. These changes make it slightly harder to hit shots at longer ranges without impacting the weapon’s performance at close-range or overall damage.
