CNS has hacked its way into the spotlight, and VAIIYA is stepping up to shut them down. On one side: precision, order, and machine logic. On the other: chaos, color, and glitchy determination. Their clash has fractured the Arena itself, creating a whole new map, and you’re going to need to navigate your way through the aftermath.

We’ve got a new map ready for you to destroy new Gadgets that shake up every class, the boldest cosmetics, and Battle Passes that take us from past to future and suit every Contestant’s style of grind!

Whether you’re here to flex, get strategic, knock down the walls, or just make it rain coins, THE DIVIDE awaits!

Let’s get into it.

    TL;DR:

    • New map: NOZOMI/CITADEL (Layout)
    • New Light gadget: The H+ Infuser lets you heal teammates by shooting them. Precision matters. Gratitude is optional. Just be sure to aim well!
    • New Medium gadget: Stick the Breach Drill to any surface and it burrows through, blinds whoever’s on the other side, and then detonates. Clear the room in a flash.
    • New Heavy gadget: Chuck the Healing Emitter near your squad to restore health over time. Just don’t let it roll off, or get carried away by an enemy Team.
