Strikes in the blood
As for how you'll be able to dominate these new maps, we've got the addition of the Spear. Not a melee weapon, surprisingly, as this precision rifle offers a 2.0x Thermal Scope, allowing you to spot enemies through smoke, and will be available in the Strike Pass and level-up rewards.There's also Skyline Beach Gifts to claim, such as the free event-tier weapon URB - Evolved Viper that you can unlock by exploring the beach and completing event missions. Inviting friends before August 24th will also slash the price of the epic melee skin Golf Club to free. And there's even more you'll want to jump in and find for yourself!
