NEW OPERATIONS

The Banished Honor Operation, which launches alongside this update, features a free 20-tier reward track themed around the Banished.

As with previous Operation Passes, this Operation’s reward track will be available to all players for free during its 5-week duration. Players can progress through the reward track by earning Match XP in multiplayer matchmaking or Custom Games. The following premium offers are also available:

For 500 Credits:
- Permanent access to the full Operation pass.
- An exclusive customization item.
- When the Operation Pass is equipped, an extra Challenge slot.
- While the Operation is active, bonus Match XP during multiplayer matchmaking.
For 2,000 Credits:
- Everything listed above in the 500 Credits offer.
- Instantly unlock all 20 tiers of the Operation Pass.

Once the Operation’s 5-week window has concluded and it is no longer available for free, the Operation Pass will be accessible via the two premium offers outlined above.

Upcoming Operations

Tenrai IV
- Active between June 4, 2024, and July 2, 2024.
- Free 20-tier Operation Pass featuring new Yoroi-themed rewards.
Spartan Surplus
- Active between July 2, 2024, and July 29, 2024.
- Free 20-tier Operation Pass featuring a variety of new rewards based on various previously released themes.

SPARTAN POINTS & THE EXCHANGE

A new form of in-game currency, Spartan Points (SP), can now be earned by completing Daily Challenges, Ultimate Challenges, or leveling up new Operation Passes. Spartan Points can be used in the new Exchange shop, which features a mix of previously available limited time offers (such as Event and Ultimate Challenge rewards) and new items. All items in the Exchange can only be acquired with Spartan Points.

Some items in the Exchange may appear to rotate out alongside the release of a new Operation, however, these items will become available via the Customize menus in the future.

Players can access the Exchange shop by navigating to the Shop menu in-game then selecting the tile in the top left of the Shop labeled, “Visit the Exchange Shop.” Your current Spartan Point balance is listed in the top right corner of the Shop menus alongside your current Credits balance.

Spartan Points can be earned through any of the methods outlined below:

Daily Challenges: Complete a match of multiplayer matchmaking to receive 250 SP each day. This challenge resets every day at 10am PT.
Ultimate Challenges: After completing all available Weekly Challenges, the Ultimate Challenge will become available. Completing this Ultimate Challenge will reward 1,000 SP. Weekly and Ultimate Challenges reset every Tuesday at 10am PT.
New Operation Passes: Starting with this update, all Operation Passes will include 15,000 SP distributed throughout various reward tiers.
- Spartan Points earned through the Operation Pass will not expire once an Operation ends, meaning earned SP can be carried over between Operations. Spartan Points have not been added into previously released Operation Passes.

WEEKLY PLAYLIST REFRESH

Alongside this update, multiple matchmaking playlist slots updated today:

Firefight: Legendary King of the Hill rotated in.
Ranked: Ranked Snipers replaced Ranked Tactical.
Arena: Rumble Pit replaced Free-For-All Slayer.

UNEVEN RANKED MATCHES NOW END AUTOMATICALLY

Matches in all Ranked matchmaking playlists will now end automatically if the match starts with the two teams having an uneven number of players. When this occurs, a full screen message will appear to inform players that the match is uneven and will be ending shortly. Players will not lose any Competitive Skill Rank (CSR) points when this occurs, nor will it count as a loss in their match history.

IMPROVED ASSISTS & MEDALS IN FIREFIGHT

Players will now be awarded Player Score for assisting other players who take down enemy AI units, including when driving a vehicle with a passenger who is eliminating AI units. Regular on-foot assists will award players with 5 points while assists as a driver of a vehicle will award 10 points.

Additionally, players can now receive the following medals when their unlock criteria is met in a Firefight match:
