GAMEPLAY
Champion’s Quest
• Champion’s Quest makes its debut in Urzikstan with some new tricks up its sleeve to test the very best players in the Warzone.
• New steps to acquire each element will push you to your limit, and keep the action hot and spicy, just the way we like it.
• To earn Champion’s Quest tokens: Win 30 games total within a season, or 5 consecutive matches, whichever comes first!
– Only one token can be held at a time.
• The previously mentioned “Steal” mechanic will arrive in a later season, details on how this works will be released alongside. Needless to say, we’re eager to see who the first victors are with this new experience. !
Deployable Buy Stations
• Loot underneath a Deployed Buystation will be removed to prevent overlap and difficulties interacting with the device.
– The radius of this removal is slightly larger than the device itself.
Black Sites

• Changed interaction behaviour to allow Players to loot items on the ground near a Zipline.
Tracker Grenade
• Fixed an issue with the Tracker Grenade incorrectly showing up as a Snapshot grenade on the loot card.
