MAPS
New Map
• Vondel
– Developed by Beenox, the new Vondel map offers 15 distinct points of interest and a dynamic blend of urban streets, canals, and expansive structures to explore.
– It presents a unique topography centred around an intricate canal system, allowing Players to navigate through water using watercraft and the new Tactical Amphibious Vehicle (TAV).
– Additionally, the map features verticality and strategic opportunities to counter those who seek to take the upper hand.
Adjustments
Al Mazrah
• Sandstorm
– The sandstorm in Al Mazrah has subsided.
– Al Mazrah City now has several sand banks to climb upon, which offer new and creative ways to approach some of the city’s prominent buildings.
– Specifically, expect a massive sand dune up the side of the TV tower, the Embassy, and the “Highrise” building.
– The dunes also piled up across some roadways, including covering parts of the highway system, and nearly flooded entire small structures in the main downtown area.
– There is also some partial destruction that will offer new approaches to maneuvering in, within, and out of the city.
• Landscape
– Added vibrancy to vegetation throughout the map.
MODES
New Mode
• Lockdown Vondel | Limited-Time | In-Season
– Inspired by the Multiplayer mode Hardpoint — Lockdown will task teams with capturing and holding zones around Vondel rather than being the last Squad standing.
– The first team to reach the score limit wins.
– Key highlights:
– Objective-based gameplay
– Allows for Custom Loadouts right at the start of the match
– Frequent engagements
