SEASONS 2.0
Seasonal Journey
The new Seasonal Journey introduces a structured progression system with 7 sequential missions, each containing 8 objectives. It is designed to guide players through the early stages of each new season, offering a mix of challenges and goals that introduce key mechanics. Available from level 1, even new players can jump right into the current season’s content.
The entire Seasonal Journey unlocks at the start of the season. As you complete each mission and objective, you’ll earn various rewards, including XP, Season Pass XP, progression-boosting items, resources, and active modifiers. Completing the entire journey will grant you a unique cosmetic item.
Seasonal Modifiers
The Seasonal Modifiers are central to each season’s unique gameplay, spicing up the usual rules and mechanics of the game. There are four distinct types of modifiers, each playing a crucial role in shaping player experience:
- Global Modifiers set the overall theme of the season and are active at all times while the system is enabled, affecting the core gameplay loop.
- In the first season, the theme is “range.” The Global Modifier, “Point Blank,” grants a bonus damage based on distance from enemies.
- Active Modifiers function like “ultimate” abilities, giving your character a short burst of power.
- Players can choose from a selection of Active Modifiers, but only one can be equipped at a time. For the first season, they manipulate the range zones set by the Global Modifier.
- Passive Modifiers work in conjunction with the Global Modifier, adding extra bonuses.
- Players can equip up to three Passive Modifiers simultaneously. In the first season, these modifiers provide additional benefits based on the range zones from the Global Modifier.
- Hostile Modifiers: These represent how the enemies adapt to your new abilities.
- As players progress through the season, enemies will gradually gain new abilities linked to specific enemy types, forcing you to use the Global, Passive, and Active Modifiers strategically to counter them.
The modifier system can be disabled at any time and is mutually exclusive with global events, allowing players to control how they engage with the seasonal challenges.
Priority Objectives
The Priority Objectives system offers a variety of short-term objectives, enhancing the way players can farm for items and resources in the game. The Priority Objectives system becomes available upon reaching level 30.
Players can choose from three objectives, selecting one based on limited information such as duration, reward category, and mission type. Once a selection is made, it is locked in, and the full details of the objective and its rewards will be revealed.
If none of the objectives appeal to the player, the system allows for rerolls. Players can earn reroll points by completing Priority Objectives, with a maximum of three rerolls stored at any time.
There is no limit to the number of Priority Objectives a player can complete, and rewards include XP, Season Pass XP, items, resources, and passive modifier unlocks.
Manhunt Scouts
Manhunt Scouts is a new system that drives the game’s narrative by requiring players to complete weekly activities that reward them with equipment, XP, materials, and, most importantly, new collectibles.
Each week, players can tackle a Scout, which consists of three different activities. These activities will vary, and players must solve a small riddle to complete each one. Activities should be completed in order, and once all three are finished, players will receive the Scout Reward.
Once all activities in a Scout are completed, players will receive a bigger reward, including a unique collectible. However, new Scouts cannot be accessed until the current one is completed.
By the end of the season, completing all Scouts unlocks the Manhunt Climax Mission, and finishing that unlocks the Master Climax Mission, so make sure to stay on track each week.

UPDATED LOOT POOL
Named Weapons
In TU22, a fresh batch of Named Weapons will be added to the loot pool for missions and mission bosses. Here’s what you need to know:
- The original loot tables will remain unchanged, but will now include additional opportunities to obtain the newly added items.
- While these items will have a higher drop rate, they are not guaranteed rewards and may still require multiple attempts to acquire.
- The likelihood of these weapons dropping will increase with the difficulty level of the mission.
- These new loot drop chances will be exclusively available for characters at level 40 or above.
- Importantly, these changes will not apply to “invaded” missions and are limited to their regular versions.
