Sniper ammo can now be stacked up to 28 and each ammo box contains 14 rounds instead of the 12.

As there's, a new battle pass in every season this season's battle pass contains new legendary skins for Caustic, Wraith, and the Wingman sidearm. New epic skins for Vantage, Bangalore, and Horizon are available with full sets that complement their new looks. This season's battle pass also features a new music pack, emotes, banner frames, and weapon charms, and what's more interesting is that for the first time, certain challenges can now be completed in the mode of a player’s choice.

Level cap increase

The level of the player has been raised from 500 to 2000. There will be 3 additional tiers of 500 levels which means the maximum level would be level 500 tier 3.

Map rotation

There was a map rotation for public matches. The map rotation was for Storm Point, Olympus, and World’s Edge but Storm Point, and World’s Edge were kept while Olympus was replaced by King Canyon.

Kings Canyon

The return of  Kings Canyon is a major update in the new season Respawn is referring to it as the Reforged Kings Canyon. Since season 5 the two Skull Town and Thunderdome were not a  part of the map they were sunk by a huge blast caused by Loba. However, with a rescue activity complete the areas were reconstructed.  The main reason to bring back was criticism many players' feedback said that Kings Canyon has felt smaller and smaller as the game evolved. Overall, the new Kings map is of a more significant size to let squads breathe while still allowing for fair firefights that don’t favor certain positions of power too much.

Vantage
