MAPS

Verdansk - Militarised Stadium

• A new multi-step Contract is available during the first full week of the season. Infiltrate the Stadium, uncover hidden operations, and complete the explosive Satellite Hijack Contract before time runs out.

- Once unlocked, players will find that this POI is now more meaningful than ever with the introduction of the Militarised variant. Updates include:

- New vertical structures offer increased control over sightlines and engagement opportunities.

- Most additions are made of solid materials to reduce wallbanging from the outskirts.

- Height variation between structures introduces more diverse combat encounters.

- Multiple structures provide plenty of loot for players to scavenge.

- The outer ring of the Stadium remains largely unchanged to preserve familiarity.

- Starting on Week 2 through the end of Season 05, the Stadium will remain permanently unlocked and be designated as a High Value Loot Zone.

NEW MODES

Stadium Resurgence

• With the action heating up, Stadium becomes the center of an intense Resurgence battle. Standard Resurgence rules apply: keep up the pressure, complete Contracts, eliminate threats, and stay mobile. Every action helps accelerate squad redeployments.

- Each match consists of:

- 36 players

- 12-minute time limit

- Custom loot pools

- Custom circle collapses (7 stages)

- Public Events

- Available starting Week 2 of Season 05.
