Season 27 is upon us, Legends, and it is adrenaline-packed! Chase new heights in an updated Olympus, rebuilt for better flow, dynamic positioning, and elevated gameplay. Check out changes to Valkyrie, Rampart and Horizon that are sure to get your blood pumping. Welcome to the fray, the Double Tap Alternator Hop-Up, destined to make the Alternator a close range demon. Plus, expand your advanced movement toolkit with Mantle Boost and dive into the party. Ranked drop zone POIs are getting a loot distribution adjustment. This season, we also have updates to audio systems that we think legends will be excited about. With updates to the Trident AND a new Wishlist feature, this season is ready for you to lock in and feel the rush!

OLYMPUS RISING

Float into a more competitive Olympus, with NEW POIs: Somers University, Gravity Engine, Stabilizer and Dockyard! After a mysterious, second Olympus is discovered crash-landed on Págos, Horizon moves in to uncover what it all means, and to get this Olympus back in the sky and competition ready.

By reducing open space and reworking problematic areas like Orbital Cannon and Energy Depot, this Olympus aims to provide a smoother competitive experience with safer rotations and more cover. Here’s a preview of some of the new locations in this update:

Somers University – Built by Horizon to explore the mysteries of the universe and honor her son Newton, Somers University replaces Orbital Cannon and brings bold architecture and high-flying lifts to Olympus.

In-game screenshot of the new the POI Somers University, which replaces the Orbital Cannon POI. It features lots of architecture and verticality.

Gravity Engine – The new beating heart of Olympus, Gravity Engine replaces Energy Depot and harnesses the power of Branthium to keep the city afloat. Lifts, zip rails, and verticality collide making this POI the next hotspot on Olympus.

Stabilizer – This platform in the sky replaces Docks and is responsible for keeping Olympus properly aligned. Floating rocks from the planet below provide a path to its outer ballast structure.

In-game screenshot of the new the POI Stabilizer, which replaces the Docks POI. Giant floating rocks provide paths to it's outer ballast structure, along with the inner structure.

Dockyard – This camp near Hydroponics gets a massive upgrade, combining nostalgic elements from the original Olympus with a new emphasis on vertical gameplay.

And that’s not all! We’ve made tweaks to almost every corner of Olympus, with new camps to explore and additional cover in previously open spaces. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback on these changes.

AMPED’S LEGENDS

We have a swath of Legend changes this season and Valkyrie, Rampart and Horizon are in the spotlight!

In-game screenshot of Valkyrie shooting her rockets at a Newcastle behind his ultimate wall, and a Octane that's running away.

Valkyrie is ready to rule the skies with a revamped jetpack; she can take flight quicker and move further than ever before. Rampart’s walls now have a roof that allows her to bunker up. Charge up your amped walls by dealing damage, then charge into battle. Horizon is primed with new upgrades that enable her to either float off her lift, or quickly slam to the ground.

Get all the details on the Legend changes and more meta updates in the Patch Notes on November 3rd, 2025.

DOUBLE BARREL DEVASTATION

In-game screenshot of the Alternator with it's new Double Tap hopup which allows it to fire bullets from both barrels. It's shooting at a Alter standing still.

Say hello to our little friend, the “Double Tap” Alternator Hop-Up! Get ready for devastating close-range firepower and watch enemies drop before they know what hit them. Harnessing the power of both barrels at the same time this smg-shotgun hybrid excels in the hands of any Legend that can close the gap and double tap (rule #2).

MANTLE BOOST

Screenshot of the new on-screen indicators which show that if players have perfect timing when climbing up a wall or ledge, they can gain a burst of movement similarly to a superglide.

We’re adding another tool to your movement toolbox—officially! Give yourself a burst of movement by activating Mantle Boost as you climb up from ledges or walls, and use it to dive into your next fight. If you took the time to master what our community calls Superglide, don’t worry it isn’t going anywhere and remains the high bar for skill - Mantle Boost brings similar functionality with higher accessibility for all legends. Adjustable on-screen indicators will help you achieve perfect timing so you can work this technique into your battle strategy!

AMPED RANKED PLAY

We’re adjusting loot quality across Drop Zones in Ranked play! The new Drop Zones sparked many internal and external discussions, one of which is about the fairness of different POI loot quality when you have no choice on where to drop.

To assuage these frustrations, you will see more consistency in loot quality across different POIs. There will still be variance, but they will not be as extreme. Our goal is to have each match feel more fair, no matter where you drop. We will continue to monitor community feedback and reception.

TRIDENT TUNE-UPS

In-game screenshot of Valkyrie, Horizon and Rampart all riding in a new, revamped Trident as an explosion goes off to the left of them.

Tridents are getting a tune-up this season! Starting in Season 27, they will feature improved handling, better and more lenient boost control and an all new ability to jump and glide over rough terrain.

In addition to a wealth of handling changes the Trident now deals low ramming damage when barreling into opponents. But don't worry, they also have their own health pool and can be destroyed - you will no longer see damage split between the occupants (which means, yes, you can snipe someone off a Trident now!)
