Hello there,

Stay tuned for further news throughout May on Quality of Life previews coming in Season 5 through a series of Dev Notes and Inside Battlefield Podcasts. The first previews on Vault Weapons are available now via Dev Notes - Evolving Vault Weapons, and tune in via the Inside Battlefield page!

Squad up, and we’ll see you on the Battlefield!
