As if that were not enough, now you can heal your squadmates with the bazooka of bandages, as well as “Load and safeguard your fallen comrades,” as annexed in the note published by Epic Games.
Enhanced and optimized fighting
“More fun and less farmer”, is what they express. Epic Games has focused on the optimization of combat as one of the pillars of this new installment, allowing the confrontation with rivals having an optimized arsenal of weapons.
Similarly, there will be the possibility of improving our weapons with resources in the improvement bank. For its part, the new Battle Pass includes a system of PE and medals that can be obtained during each game.
Also, the new unified leveling system has merged the Battle Stars from before with the seasonal PE. The Battle Pass will continue to cost 950 pairs and allows you to get up to 1500 pairs during the season, so if you play enough, you can collect enough for next season.
Additionally, new items will be available in the store, new ways to level up through challenges, search for trophies, eliminate enemies and more within the games.
