New medallions

Super Shield – Places a Shield Bubble Jr while players heal with a “self-healing item” such as a Shield Potion or a Med Kit.
Unstoppable – An increase in sprint speed that enables players to hit enemies out of the way.

New Boons

Gold Rush – Open or destroy chests to earn the Gold Rush boost.
Gold Ammo – Earn ammo while picking up Gold Bars.
Adrenaline Rush – Earn the Slap effect by mantling, hurdling and wall-jumping.

New map POIs

Crime City – Large POI packed with multi-storey buildings and vantage points.
Shiny Shafts – Fletcher Kane’s mining operation. Features overground and underground pathways.
Outlaw Oasis – A luxury spa featuring several corridors for close-quarters combat.
Lonewolf Lair – Fletcher Kane’s hideout. Security is tight here so be prepared for a fight.

Gold Rush

Throughout the map, players will see gold puddles of water which they can swim in.

Wading through golden pools boosts players’ movement, mining tool speed, and enhances their structural destruction power.

Players can find gold veins not only near the puddles but also use them for a Gold Rush, which they can utilize to their benefit.

Black market

The black market is open for business in Chapter 6 season 2.

Use Gold Coins and Silver Coins during games to get Epic and Godlike artifacts, these are always beneficial when engaged in combat.

Armoured train and transport

In Chapter 6 season 2, the armored train traverses the map during games, due to Fletcher Kane moving various valuable items across the island.

The convoys are escorted by henchmen. After taking out these henchmen, players gain access to control the vehicles and move across the map more smoothly.

Climbing aboard the Armoured Train works slightly differently.

Breach the vault car using Thermite to secure the valuables for yourself.

Keep in mind that the towers on the train are quite powerful; they could potentially terminate your game prematurely.
