TipPlan your rotation to hit upgrade panels before mid-game; you can't rely on finding gold items anymore.

Olympus no longer has Tridents.

Tridents removed

TipOlympus rotations are on foot. Land closer to your intended route and start moving on ring closes earlier.

Olympus gets smoother movement at the Gravity Engine pipes and MAZE ziplines, more arsenals and loot, and the Ranked drop zone for Turbine now puts you inside the POI.

TipLearn new rotations; the meta POI routes have shifted with new landmarks.

Ring timings on Kings Canyon, World's Edge, Storm Point and Olympus are longer, and Ring 1 hurts more and starts closing much sooner; replicators and crafting materials are also rebalanced across maps.

Ring Adjustments: Kings Canyon 4:10 → 4:32

• Replicators and Crafting Materials have been rebalanced across the maps.
• Ring Adjustments
• Kings Canyon 4:10 → 4:32
• World’s Edge 3:42 → 4:32
• Storm Point 4:15 → 4:35
• Olympus 4:10 → 4:32
• Ring 1 Damage increase from 2 to 3 hp/tick (equivalent to Ring 2)
• Ring 1 Preshrink Time 180s → 60s
• Ring 1 Closing Time:

TipFaster ring phases force earlier team fights and rotation decisions; safety windows are tighter and reward map knowledge.

Olympus is bigger, with more routes out of chokepoints and new play areas, meant to spread squads away from Labs and Estates and cut down on surprise third parties.

• Expanded map; spreading squads out more so the map’s center area (Labs/Estates) isn’t the only go-to combat zone each game and reducing the frequency of spontaneous 3rd-parties.
• Better rotational options to help players get around and out of dangerous chokepoints
• New interactive map toy and play spaces to help attract players into the new areas, creating fresh new experiences for Olympus
