Hi-Rez Studios has announced that the latest update to the game has been deployed. The Umbra update brings a host of new content into the game as well as a balance pass and a number of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements.
Umbra is a new Rogue now added to the game. He is considered a “high-ranking Jackal assassin” who is zealously committed to the cause. He uses drones and even brings a brand new Perk to the game where he can detect fresh footprints of walking or sprinting enemies.
In addition to Umbra, players will also be able to engage in the much-requested LTM: Battle Zone. Two teams will take part and duke it out until only one remains standing. It’s a type of battle royale with the map starting large and getting smaller as the round progresses.
Main Rules
- This is a 4v4 team-based mode where each player only has one life and a best of 7.
- Each round, you will have a baseline of cash plus what was earned from eliminations, downs, assists, and revives. Your cash does not carry over from round to round (no saving!).
- You will start with a Secondary weapon, but you can find weapon crates in various map locations containing Primary weapons.
- Purchased gadgets will not carry over from round to round (use it or lose it!), but Perks will be permanent for the entire match.
- Your base health is 125, but there is no auto regeneration.
- Mythic crates have a chance to spawn each round.
- You will see mythic crates in the map and on the minimap when they spawn.
- This may happen when the first circle draws or after the first 30-second timer.
