Aside from the new faction, new weapons and gameplay changes have been implemented to make the game even more interesting than before.

Doomfist can now consistently use his Empowered Rocket Punches, thanks to changes made to his Power Block and Meteor Strike abilities. Meanwhile, Bastion's easily avoidable Configuration Artillery projectiles have been tweaked, making them drop faster than before.

While it might seem that Sojourn got nerfed significantly in this patch, she is still quite effective in higher levels of play due to one particular change.

Ramattra is the first hybrid tank of the game, where he can switch between his defensive Omnic Form or unleash his offensive power with Nemesis Form.

The elemental version of Aegis of Menhir is still pretty good despite the recent tweaks made to the Conduit of Divine Whispers.

Players who love using Grenado and Devastation will love the newly buffed Ugdenbog Flamethrower and Ascendant Hood.

Players might only need several trips to the Arkovian Undercity to get Kilrian's Shattered Soul.

Animation responsiveness has also been improved in this update, which is noticeable when aiming down sights.

Some iconic weapons from Battlefield 3 have made their way to the vault, including a fan-favorite assault rifle that's quite effective against enemies at mid-range.

With the new Whiff Recovery mechanic, players should be more careful when executing highly damaging moves as their enemies now have enough time to punish their attacks.

The number of Koish color possibilities has been reduced at the Nuru Lodge to make it easier for players to complete their weekly fishing activity.

Ranked games are now determined by seasons, similar to Tamer Pass.

The completely barren island found in the new DLC has now been removed in this update.

Certain quests in the game have also been fixed. For instance, the issue where players could not talk to Quen after accepting the Sea Runs Restless quest is now resolved.

According to the developers, the nerf to Unnatural Healing was necessary because Legendary Cards now affect the entire team instead of just a single member of the party.

The upcoming expansion also adds a new game mode, where players battle through a series of maps that gets increasingly hard the more modifiers are in place.

Players can also play in the new Cholek Excavation Site map, where they'll find plenty of magnificent stone head statues made by the Cholek.

The game looks incredible now, thanks to the upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.1.

Akasha's teleport range has also been increased, allowing her to chase escaping survivors better than before.

This update also introduces two new open-world quests. One requires players to defend a watchtower, and the other tasks them to protect a drone while it's transmitting data.

Blizzard has also added an automated player reporting system where players can report foul language and offensive content.

Players now have a way to enjoy standard casino games like Poker and Slots without fear of getting killed.

The server browser now allows players to sort matches based on the category they've chosen. Furthermore, this update implements considerable changes to various maps.

In this update, the AI is now more willing to accept a White Peace deal the longer the war wages on.

Archnemesis mods are gone and are replaced with much simpler, more straightforward modifiers. Eldritch Altars have gained a minor nerf but they are still good to use.

The upcoming expansion features roguelike content, where things will get more challenging with the promise of better rewards.

While the nerf may seem harmless on the surface, players who love using this exotic grenade launcher say otherwise.

Players who are having a hard time finding specific skills on the research tree will be happy to know that a search function is now available at the bottom of the interface.

This update is headlined by the new desert biome and a new survivor that is a native of the region.

While the Darkin Blade has performed admirably well, the same cannot be said for Kayn. Thus, Riot gave him a couple of buffs to make him more enticing to use.
