• Lifeline Revived - The OG medic is back and revived as a frontline menace. Sporting an aggressive new kit, the ability to teleport DOC to allies, and deploy an indestructible forcefield that amps up healing efficiency for your squad - players can expect an intense fight for a place on the Champions Podium.

• Rift Relics - Players should watch out for cosmic portals signaling a Rift Relic, packed with iconic and overpowered weapons and Boost Kits to change the course of a player’s game…or destiny.

• New Universal Melee: Raptor’s Claw - Players can sharpen their teeth (and their arsenal) with the deadliest new agnostic melee. Form and function without compromising competitive integrity - what more could a Legend want?
