Ring of Elysium

[Phoenix911]

Season 1 is just about over and Season 2 is set to start on the 16th along with a new map, Europa Island, and new traversal equipment (BMX Bike & Grappling Hook)!

 

[J3st3r]

I thought the Grappling hook was already in. Maybe I'm thinking of the climbing axes and Zip Line. 

[Phoenix911]

Yea, climbing pack allowed you to climb rock faces and zip line.

 

Here is some additional new information from a Q&A on the new season/map:

 

1.Each frame of the game trailer is recorded, what is in the trailer, what is in the game.

 

2. Some submarine creatures may be encountered while riding a submarine.

 

3.Special character for the second season: Silvia, a woman in a tight-fitting jersey. When you upgrade your second season pass, you will get a new look, which is said to be more explicit (I think it should be more sexy).

Silvia

4. Volcanoes are unreachable in dangerous areas and will be blocked by volcanic ash.

 

5. The tricycle of the Thai service has returned, and the sea has a hovercraft and a yacht.

 

6. Physical Destruction In addition to the roadblocks and railings of the snow map, we have added cement piers that can be destroyed by firearms or vehicle impacts.

 

7. Backpack capacity: gliding backpack < bicycle backpack < grab hook backpack

 

8. The new version of the hall has been made, you can see the role of yourself and teammates in the hall, the hall is temporarily a distant scene, the weather will return to the hall after the end of each game will be randomly changed.

 

9. The name change function will be released in the season 2.

 

10. After the island map is on the line, in order to prevent the diversion, the snow mountain map will become the active mode, similar to the current night mode. When the number of online users is increased, the opening hours of the snow-capped map will be gradually increased until the snow-capped map is completely opened.

 

11.All rewards for the first season pass will be permanently out of print at the end of the first season (including various costumes, adventurer characters, adventurer character styles, migration tool skins, player avatars, loading interface, lobby BGM, etc.) and will not be available in the future. Get these rewards again through purchase! Without the special character of the first season, the skin that continues to be played for the first season will not be available.

 

12. The submarine is similar to the cable car of Snow map. It can be taken at a specific location on the pier and sent to your destination on a fixed route.

13.Old players know that the car with the taillights can be turned on. On the island map, you can drive a police car.

14. The long-awaited dynamic weather return. You can experience a lot of different weather in the new island map, and it is random in a single game. The last minute may be bright, and the next minute may be raining and fogging, and even typhoon thunderstorms, all kinds of weather.

 

15. The second season's special character: Bradley, is a military-style dress role, holding the MG4 new gun on the island map.

16.The BMX bike's acrobatic action can be actually operated in the game. The bicycle can be summoned at any time, moving fast, can continue to climb, and the climbing ability is even higher than some cars. Mobility and concealment are very strong.

 

17.The special character of the second season: Alfonso, Echelon Special Operations Force exoskeleton armored driver, this department is extremely mysterious, no one knows their appearance, not even know if they are real human beings.

Alfonso

 

18.A grapple is equivalent to a skill that can be stored three times. Can be used three times in a short time. It takes time to recover after the number of times is used. The hook does not have any wall restrictions. It can even be hung on the tree and hidden in the tree. A tree may hide your entire team. But climbing time is limited.

 

19. Glider is not the same as the first season, it is brand new.

 

20. The flash bomb is a pendant, similar to the spray paint behind Gavin.
