Season 2: Yule is LIVE! ❄️
We're excited to release Season 2: Yule of Hood: Outlaws & Legends! This new season brings a battle pass bursting with cosmetics, and an exciting new game mode: Gold Rush.
Experience a new way to rob from the State in the new Gold Rush mode. 💰
https://youtu.be/0Vc9SNLT_Ck
To win in this PvPvE game mode, your team must bring a certain amount of gold to one of your controlled spawn points before your opponents. You are able to pocket gold by collecting small stashes scattered throughout the level, assassinating guards, and killing enemy Outlaws carrying gold.
But be careful - carrying too much gold will weigh you down, making you run slower, so make sure to secure it regularly. Pocketed gold and Treasure Chests have to be banked on capture points to progress on the overall objective. The goal is to bank 2000 gold before the enemy team.
Three Vault Keys are carried by Sentries dispatched around the level, and each Key opens a Vault in which there is a Treasure Chest. With several treasures to steal, hidden gold stashes, and stealing from rival Outlaws, this mode blows open the doors of possibility, viable strategies, and surprise epic moments.
Steal both the gold and the stage with a cosmetics-packed Battle Pass!
Complete heists to progress through the Battle Pass and collect over 100 new outfits, weapon skins, and banner packs to steal in style.
New cosmetics for all characters, with a total of 31 Outfits and 51 Weapons (82 cosmetics)🏹
Robin: 7 Outfits, 11 Weapons
Marianne: 6 Outfits, 10 Weapons
John: 6 Outfits, 10 Weapons
Tooke: 6 Outfits, 10 Weapons
Eidaa: 6 Outfits, 10 Weapons
New banners for the Hideout, with a total of 21 banner packs (63 banners)🏴
Happy heisting, Outlaws!
