Features

Along with new weapons, augments, and locations, there are also some bigger features coming to the island, including a new way to track the storm and a new Survivor Medal system where you'll be able to earn a unique reward.

Forecast Towers

There are now various Forecast Towers spread around the map, and upon defeating the head guard in the tower, you can collect the keycard to download Storm info. This will inform you of future storm circles that will appear as you play the match.

Survivor Medals

Similar to the rankings of competitive matches, you can now earn Survivor Medals while playing any Battle Royale mode. These medals are given to you for outlasting and eliminating a certain amount of other players each match. You will upgrade your medal rarity by completing Survivor quests. There are seven Survivor Medal rarities in total:

• Common
• Uncommon
• Rare
• Epic
• Legendary
• Exotic
• Mythic

Reaching the Common rarity will reward you with the Prized Llama Back Bling. Your Prized Llama can change styles with each progressive rarity you manage to obtain. However, your quests will also get more difficult with each rarity you reach as well. Only the best of the best players will be able to show off a Mythic Llama Back Bling, so do your best to survive as long as you can in each match and earn as many eliminations as possible.

Characters

With this season update, you will also be able to collect a variety of different character skins from the Battle Pass, including fun collabs with a social media Icon and Star Wars, and new unique heist characters as well:

• Khaby Lame
• Nolan Chance
• Piper Pace
• Fish Thicc
• Mae
• Antonia
• Kado Thorne
• Ahsoka

Competitive

With the new season for Ranked, all players' rankings will be reset. Players will have to play at least one match to get a ranking and then continue to rank up from there. Although they have stated, "Your performance in your first match does not determine your initial rank placement." This means your first Ranked match will only be a starting point for you and allow you to be matched with similarly skilled players.

The following items will also be excluded from competitive tournaments:

• Kit’s Shockwave Launcher
• Shockwave Grenades
• Nitro Fang
• On The Go Bag Reality Augment
