The RE-45 just got a high-energy upgrade, courtesy of Ballistic’s private arsenal: precision engineered to deliver 3-round energy bursts to the face of any rival. It’s a true short king: compact, powerful, and not to be underestimated. E-District Daytime Updates E-District forecast: Clear skies The new daytime E-District is here bright and early. This map gets a full daylight makeover with a new skybox that brightens the map and sharpens visibility—perfect for a high-noon showdown. Locked Hop Ups Built-in Hop-Ups Heads up—Hop-Ups are now built directly into weapons and must be unlocked through gameplay (like shooting things). Once activated, the Hop-Up upgrade kicks in and stays with that weapon for the rest of the match. This new system streamlines looting, adds progression to your loadout, and rewards you for sticking with your trusty weapon all game. Ranked Updates Ranked enhancements Ranked play is getting a competitive upgrade. Your squad is now assigned a POI drop zone, removing the Jumpmaster role to create more balanced, competitive openings—but still giving you some control over where you drop. Loot and beacon placement have been updated to create a more even playing field across all drop zones. Peak aura farming: new Ranked Auras show your rivals exactly who they’re messing with. These in-game cosmetics reflect your current Ranked tier, with a visible halo that changes color based on your rank. Strike fear into your opponent as they realize they’re going up against… a Bronze I.
