Battle Pass[]

NOTHING PERSONAL

We’re on alert. We can reinforce our perimeter and increase our security, but we can’t turn back time. The security breach exposed Nighthaven’s vulnerabilities, but it also revealed our enemy.

Even a well-planned infiltration leaves a trail, and they left a trail of blood. One I can follow. They’re already wounded. Strike right and you’ll take the fight out of them. I’ll find who. I’ll find why. And I won’t stop until the job is done. If you make yourself an obstacle, I have no problem removing you.

Trivia[]

• The expansion was formally announced on February 20th, 2022 during the Six Invitational 2022.[3]
• During the reveal of Operation Vector Glare, it was announced that the Singaporean map for Y7S3 would be released in Season 4 to give it more development time. Stadium was introduced in the expansion as a permanent addition to compensate for this.
