Suppressed Submachine Gun
Common, Uncommon, Rare
This week’s content update includes the Burst Submachine Gun, which shares a number of similarities with the Suppressed Submachine Gun (High DPS, Light Ammo, Rarity). Because of this overlap & not wanting to oversaturate itemization in any one area, we’ve decided to put the Suppressed back in the Vault.
Team Rumble
Now spawning 4 hot spots each match, to ensure that there is at least one on each side more often. This is a temporary fix until we can set up functionality to force the same number on each side in big team modes.

New Wargames simulation: Hexed
The Heroes are cursed when the simulation begins, and must activate ancient statues to remove the effects.
Beware! Not only do the damaging effects of the curse ramp up over time, but the curse will eventually return after it’s cleansed!
A new Wargames simulation means more chances for Event Tickets, a new banner, and more variety to the Daily Quests
