From new game modes to expanded customization options, this update aims to keep the competitive spirit alive while keeping fans engaged with fresh features.
One of the most anticipated additions in Season 6 is the permanent inclusion of Team Deathmatch (TDM) as a Quickplay mode. TDM will feature 5v5 matches across six arenas: Fortune Stadium, Seoul, SYS$HORIZON, Las Vegas, Kyoto, and Skyway Stadium. Players can now challenge each other for leaderboard positions, with the chance to earn progression rewards through their gameplay.
The report on this update highlights that Power Shift has expanded to include new arenas, specifically Bernal and Las Vegas Stadium. This aspect has garnered attention as developers have tweaked platform mechanics to enhance gameplay engagement. In addition, players will now earn Quickplay Points regardless of match outcomes in modes such as Quick Cash, Terminal Attack, or Power Shift, allowing them to advance their Quickplay Level for unique rewards. Victories, of course, yield additional points!
Among the standout features of this season is the complete redesign of Las Vegas Stadium. This revamped arena promises better movement, cleaner sightlines, and an overall smoother flow of combat, enhancing the player experience. Players will notice the unique architectural influences from various sponsors that now feature prominently throughout the revamped arena.
This season also introduces three new weapons for players to master. The LIGHT ARN-220 is a fast-loading assault rifle with dual magazines suitable for mid-range dominance. The MEDIUM CB-01 Repeater offers precision shots, while the HEAVY M134 Minigun boasts a high fire rate with massive ammo reserves, allowing a choice for various play styles.
With the introduction of the RISING STARS Battle Pass, players gain access to 106 rewards inspired by the Golden Age of sports entertainment. Unlockable items include new outfits and emotes along with 1,575 Multibucks available for players purchasing the Premium Pass for obtaining the next season’s pass.
This season also expands player's branding opportunities, allowing them to pledge loyalty to one of three new sponsors. OSPUZE focuses on performance-enhancing drinks, ALFA ACTA specializes in defense, and ENGIMO bridges the digital and physical worlds with its cutting-edge technology.
Players love flexibility and creativity, and this update gives them the chance to mix and match cosmetics across all builds, saving up to 24 unique outfits. There’s also an upgraded Practice Range that now features new ‘Smarties’ dummies designed to react to loadouts more accurately, facilitating better practice sessions.
Private Matches have received robust customization options, including the ability to modify the weather and other Game Show Events. Spectator Mode has also improved, allowing for enhanced viewing experiences with team-colored outlines and custom camera angles to follow intense match action. Players looking to maintain privacy online will appreciate the new security features, including Anonymous Mode that hides essential player information, further improving their experience.
As for gameplay mechanics, developers have made numerous changes to enhance balance and fairness. For example, the APS Turret has been upgraded to block four projectiles instead of three, while the Data Reshaper's ammo count has been reduced to two. Changes have been made to different gadgets, such as increasing the duration of the Gravity Vortex while decreasing throw distances to offer a more tactical advantage.
The update notes also detail tweaks in weapon performance and balance. Popular weapons like the AKM and FAMAS received improved recoil interpolation, while the explosive CL-40 received notable adjustments to its blast radius and projectile speed, allowing for a more dynamic combat experience. Additionally, body types for Heavy classes have been introduced, which reflects ongoing efforts to enhance character choice in appearances.
