The headline new feature is the addition of a brand new hero character named Ballistic.

Ballistic’s passive ability lets him store a third weapon in a sling, while his Tactical shoots a projectile that heats up an enemy’s gun as they shoot.

His Tempest Ultimate ability gives nearby teammates faster reloads, move speed and infinite ammo.

Elsewhere, World’s Edge gets a number of new points of interest, including Monument, which is said to commemorate the game’s history.

As you can see from the Season 17 patch notes below, Respawn makes countless bug fixes and balance changes.

Add some killer pieces to your wardrobe with the Arsenal Battle Pass.
