• A new map, Thunderdome, is coming to Mixtape mode. Beyond Thunderdome, there aren’t any new maps.
• Legend Upgrades will allow you to upgrade your Legend within a match (it resets each match) as you earn EVO — including EVO from the new EVO Harvesters and EVO Caches. These upgrades do things like improve your armor tier.
• Speaking of armor, body shields aren’t a thing in Battle Royale any more. Instead, everyone has Legend Armor fueled by swappable Shield Cores each with their own HP.
• Ranked play is being revamped into Ranked Reloaded: Scoring will emphasize eliminations over placement, the cap on eliminations that count toward your score is lifted (but you get half points for eliminations after the sixth), and you’ll get bonus RP for placing fifth or better multiple games in a row. Ranked matchmaking will be based more on RP.

• You’ll be able to earn gifts and rewards for playing as unlocked Legends and completing challenges.
• Performance Mode will let current-gen consoles target 120fps.
• Clubs are being retired and replaced by three to four character tags.
