Endgame

Loadout Updates

  • Loadouts will be assigned to each Operator. Each Operator will have their own weapons and field acquisitions and equipment. This change provides more customization options, as players can now find and equip a unique Exotic Weapon for every Operator and craft builds that are unique for each fighter.
  • Reset Combat Rating: Players may optionally reset an Operator's Combat Rating to 0 if they want to start fresh with a new Operator Build. This will not affect the Operator's Loadout, as Weapons, Equipment, and rarity are preserved. Note that resetting the Combat Rating will also discard Exotic and Nightmare skills.
  • Reset Skill Track: Once you’ve fully progressed an Operator’s Combat Rating by unlocking all Power Upgrades and Skills, you may choose to reset one of your Skill Tracks. Resetting a Skill Track removes all associated Skills and reduces the Operator’s Combat Rating by 16 to reflect the lost power.
  • Restore Tokens: With a Restore token in your inventory you can choose to activate the consumable item to restore all lost progress, including your Operator’s Skills and current loadout. Earn this through Operation Poison Pill, though there might be other opportunities to acquire this during the Season.

Updated Loss Rules

  • If a player or squad is wiped, the total Combat Rating lost from earned Skills and Power Upgrades is capped at 15 CR. This means players can lose no more than 15 CR of progression per wipe. Nightmare Skills and Exotic Skills are still fully lost, and the player’s Loadout is reset. Because these Skills contribute to total Combat Rating, their removal will also reduce CR accordingly.

Exotic Weapons

  • Two new Exotic Weapons added: 
    • Collateral: Full-auto assault rifle enhanced with ricochet rounds for widespread lethality. Affinity for Incendiary Rounds.
    • Continuum: Bolt-action sniper rifle modified for aggression and potency. Affinity for Graviton Rounds.

Bugs and Stability

  • Addressed an issue where certain Camos were not being applied to weapons in Endgame.
  • Addressed an issue where the Wraith Wing VTOL could be destroyed easily near the edge of the map.
  • Addressed an issue where some enemies could enter the Ballistic Shell.
  • Addressed an issue where ladders underwater could sometimes send players out of bounds.
  • Various stability and performance fixes.
