Players have 3 types of runes to choose from. The Flame Rune, Arctic Rune, and Wind Rune. Players can only choose one of these runes in every match. 

Players can then harness the power of these runes to gain advantages in the match. The two types of abilities for each rune, summoning, and boost skill. The abilities consume rune energy so players will have to scavenge for rune fragments in the map to recharge their runes and use their special abilities. 

The abilities of each rune are as follows;

Flame Rune:

  • Summon skill - Summons a wheel of flame that rolls forward slowly, dealing burn damage to enemy players it touches.
  • Boost skill - Adds a burning effect to your Ammo for a short time.

Arctic Rune:

  • Summon skill - Summons an ice wall. Each block of the ice wall can be destroyed separately. When the ice wall appears, it will lift up players or vehicles directly above them.
  • Boost skill - Adds a freezing effect to Ammo for a short time. Freezing reduces the effectiveness of healing.

Wind Rune:

  • Summon skill - Summons a semi-transparent shield of wind that reduces the damage of bullets shot from outside the shield.
  • Boost skill - Increases your movement and reload speed.

This new game mode will be available from Jan. 12 until March 7. Don’t miss out on this new experience in playing the game. 

Power Armor Game Mode

This new game mode gives players unique armors that enhance their abilities on the battlefield. In order to build your own power armor, you have to collect Nano Crystals and Power Armor Blueprints. This event will be live on Feb. 5, 2021.

Players will have 2 chances to respawn either themselves or their teammates in a match. Teammates can be respawned at research stations but they will respawn with basic equipment so keep an eye out for your teammates while they gear up after respawning.

There will also be Matrix Events that will be available for players during each match. These Matrix events will give players various advantages that they can use to outplay their enemies.

The Matrix Event has 3 phases. Here is what the events offer;
