What’s New in the Season 3 Update?

I checked the teaser shared by the developers, and Season 3 looks much bigger than the last update. The Weapons page is getting a major redesign, and they’ve hinted at more UI changes, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements.

Here’s what players can expect:

• A full Season 2 reset
• New seasonal rewards
• Updated weapon visuals and stats
• Fixes for hit detection and movement issues
• A limited-time Festive Event with themed rewards
• Possible new quests and game modes
• More redeem codes (as hinted by the devs)

If you enjoy grinding seasonal items, this update is worth logging in for. Seasonal exclusive items usually don’t return, so it's a good idea to play early.
