Legend balancing changes and new shotgun hop-ups arrive June 23. Your strategies and loadouts may shift—check the patch details to adapt your build.
Wildcard map rotation shifts to 90-minute cycles. Bot Royale Evolved now caps lobbies to one player squad per match to reduce queue times and skill gaps. These changes affect how you warm up and practice before ranked play.
