• Beware, enemies can destroy the beacon or the drone at all times.

» ALL MAPS | RESURGENCE «

• Champion’s Quest Reward Refresh
• Now unlocks new rewards including an animated camouflage called “Super Slick”.

• Champion’s Quest Timers
• The timers for each element have been reduced per squad size:

• Duos: Reduced to 6m30s, down from 6m40s
• Solos: Reduced to 4m20s, down from 4m30s

Speaking about these changes, the developer said:

"We’re happy with the current challenge but we wanted to create more gunfights around the nuke itself. We’ve noticed a lot of nukes were planted with few squads remaining and/or in final circles. That was never the intent and hopefully these timer reductions will keep the challenge difficult and make the ending more exciting!"

• Redeploy Weapons
• Handgun attachments have been refreshed.
• Updated a few primary weapons supplied later into matches.
• Public Events
• The introduction of Bounty Contest reduces the chances of the following:
• Occupation Scan on Rebirth Island and Vondel

• Solo Contract Behavior Quality of Life
• Contracts will no longer be canceled if you are eliminated in Resurgence Solos.

UI/UX

• Dynamic Gas Mask Overlay Quality of Life
• The gas mask overlay will now fade in and out depending if you’re in gas or not
• This way, players can equip the gas mask at any time without having their vision impacted.
• Reinforcement Flare Quality of Life
• We added a reminder in the HUD whenever your squad mate is eliminated and you have a reinforcement flare available.
• Infil Parachute
• Added the “Parachute Camera Perspective” setting to the Console graphics menu.
