New Mythic weapons & Guardian Shield

During this update, two new Mythic weapons were added to the game’s files: Deku’s Smash, which is part of the upcoming My Hero Academia crossover, and The Ageless Champion’s Shockwave Hammer.

There’s also a Guardian Shield that blocks bullets and explosions and can even be thrown to give you cover at a distance. It’s unknown when these will go live in the game, but it should be soon.

Super Level Styles are now available

It might take you a while, but if you manage to complete this season’s Battle Pass you’ll be given the chance to unlock Super Level Styles for the Helsie, Selene, Ageless, Dusty, and Massai skins.

This time around, there are Elysian, Aeon, and Halcyon Styles for you to discover. They’re available to unlock now, but you’ll need to save up enough Battle Stars first…
