UNIQUE ABILITIES AND PLAYSTYLE

REPUTATION SYSTEM IMPACT ACTIVATION

Starting this season (Year 10 Season 1) players with a Dishonorable or Disruptive standing will be restricted from playlists and unable to unlock certain rewards. Players with a Esteemed or Exemplary standing will be able to equip their exclusive card background. Bonus points are rewarded to players by achieving a positive standing (Respectable or above). Players can use bonus point to unlock rewards such as Boosters, Renown, and/or Alpha Packs.

Reputation standings will have these impacts:

• DISHONORABLE: Locked from Ranked, Standard, Siege Cup playlists, no access to Ranked rewards, -50% XP & Renown
• DISRUPTIVE: Locked from Siege Cup playlist, no access to Ranked rewards, -25% XP & Renown
• RESPECTABLE: +1 Standing bonus points per match.
• ESTEEMED: +2 Standing bonus points per match + Esteemed card background.
• EXEMPLARY: +3 Standing bonus points per match + Exemplary card background

DYNAMIC MATCHMAKING

Dynamic matchmaking is a new system which optimizes matchmaking based on the how many requests are being sent to the server. While the enhanced system is designed to accommodate both densely and sparsely populated regions, it seeks to achieve higher quality matches during peak hours.

CELEBRATION PACK

The Celebration Pack includes a curated selection of top items from the first nine years of Siege, including limited time Event collections and seasonal signature weapon skins. Celebration Packs can be unlocked with Renown and are available in the Battle Pass.

SEASONAL WEAPON SKINS

New challenges require a fresh approach and potentially a new loadout to tackle them. Get your hands on the Embers weapon and attachment skin, the Core Strength charm, as well as the Tectonic Reveal operator card background. The seasonal weapon skin will be released at season launch and is available for purchase throughout the season. Once unlocked, it remains in your inventory indefinitely and can be applied to all available weapons.

OPERATOR PRICE DECREASE

Looking ahead, setting down plans and gathering allies is the first step in Operation Prep Phase. This season, select Operators are seeing a price decrease. Decreasing to 10,000 Renown, or 240 R6 Credits, is Operator Azami. Brava sees a reduction in cost to 15,000 Renown, or 360 R6C Credits. Lastly, Deimos moves to 20,000 Renown, or 480 R6 Credits. Test out these Operators if you have not already!
