New Map
Large parts of the map have received a beautiful feudal-inspired overall as Japanese-themed biomes and POI’s debut!
Whether you’re exploring the structures and pagodas around Warrior’s Watch and Shogun’s Solitude, or speeding through the streets of Seaport City and venturing across Canyon Crossing, you’ll have plenty of new sights to see. Just don’t forget to visit The Great Turtle from time to time!
Chapter 6 Medallions
The demon warrior named Shogun X is on the island, and you’ll want to defeat him in order to gain access to a brand new medallion. The details are as follows:

Chapter 6 Expertise Quests
New weapon Expertise Quests are being introduced with this season, whereby completing combat quests with different weapons will not only earn you XP, but also allow you to purchase a Legendary variant of that weapon from NPCs.
Weapons & Hitscan
On top of the Expertise Quests, all traditional weapons in Battle Royale Chapter 6 will be hitscan. The weapons include (but are not limited to):
- Holo Twister Assault Rifle

Players will also be able to use the new Typhoon Blade, a powerful melee weapon that allows you to consume less stamina while sprinting and the ability to sprint faster while equipped.

- Fire Oni Mask
- Launch homing flame projectiles

New Movement Features
Movement and traversal have received an overhaul with this season, introducing a wide number of improvements and enhancements. These include:
- Ledge Jumping
- If you jump while sprinting close to a ledge, you’ll do a Ledge Jump, launching you further than regular jumps.
- Roll Landing
- Holding jump or tapping it just before you hit the ground as you fall will cause you to roll, which restores a bit of Stamina
- Wall Kicks
- Jump against a vertical surface to your side while in the air and you’ll wall kick and launch in the direction you choose
- Wall Scramble
- Jump against a vertical surface to perform a wall scramble, letting you reach those ledges usually *just* out of reach. If you can mantle, you’ll automatically do so
