MODES

Rebirth Resurgence Extreme (Launch Week)

Up to 99 players will drop onto Rebirth Island for an incredibly frenetic fight for supremacy, as they look to eliminate every last member of enemy squads to prevent them from getting a second, third, or even forth chance at revenge. Just like Resurgence, squad members can spawn back in if their Rebirth Countdown hits zero and at least one of their allies is still alive, and specific Caches around the map will refresh their items frequently to ensure there is no shortage of firepower around the island.

Exfiltration (In Season)

In this mode, a portable radio crackles into life, coming online somewhere in Verdansk. The Operator who secures this radio and holds onto it for a sufficient period of time automatically wins the game for their squad. To ensure their exfil isn’t by the book, anyone holding the radio is marked on the Tac Map as if they were under a Most Wanted Contract (High Value Target) with all Operators also receiving intel on how much longer the current radio holder has until they win. Other than this new win condition, the same Battle Royale rules apply. Expect a circle collapse and a winner to be determined by last squad standing, should nobody receive an early exfil with the radio.

MAP – POINTS OF INTEREST

Shipwreck

The doomed cargo tanker known as the Vodianoy has run aground in the low estuary of swamp ground less than a klick west of the Zordaya Prison Complex.

Missile Silos

A team of Operators discovered Missile Silos hidden underneath the city’s three war monuments:

Jarvdinsk Spomenik above the Arklov Peak Military Base

Zoszni Spomenik southeast of the Novi Grazna Hills

Styor Spomenik in Tavorsk Park

Due to the contamination, security protocol mandates a complete shut down of the following locations:

Subway

Stadium Garage

Bunkers 00, 04, 05, 06, 09, 11

New Weapon Unlock Challenges added:

Reactive Blueprints added:

The Reactive property lets Operators display their skill in real-time by evolving their weapon’s appearance with kills during a match.

For example, the “Vulture Exo” pulsates a green energy across the skeleton of a bird that wraps around the entire weapon. As an Operator earns kills, this energy shifts from blue to orange and eventually red, signifying how much of a hot hand they have in the match.
