Bethesda’s Free-To-Play Multiplayer Arena Shooter Quake Champions just received a massive Spring 2020 Update that adds a whole lot of content in the game. Quake Champions has been supported by Bethesda for quite a while now and it doesn’t seem like that’s going to stop anytime soon.
The update adds several new game modes, features, and multiple bug fixes. Season 6 rewards that include MARAUDER DOOM Eternal Super Shotgun and MONSOON Quake 4 Rocket Launcher have also been added.
The new game mode is called Clan Arena and is played in a 4v4 format. Players have to kill everyone on the other team to win the round, and the first to get 10 rounds wins the match. There will be no item drop on the map and players will get all the weapons and ammo when spawned. A new ranked mode, Clan Area 2v2, is also coming. The rules are same as the Clan 4v4 mode, but with half the players. Clan Arena 1v1 is added in Custom playlist, and same rules as the previous mode are in effect here, but for only two players. It’s 1v1 at its finest.
We are also getting a ‘Rip and Tear’ mode where you will play as the Doom Slayer. Players will have access to the iconic Super Shorty with infinite ammo. More details about all the new modes are mentioned below. However, the update makes several other changes which you can read over here.
