Minor Update - 06-30-2026

\[ Urn / King of the Hill ] - King of the Hill objective has been rethemed and renamed to "Unstable Rift"

- Unstable Rift no longer requires an Urn delivery to trigger the start of the event. It now has a variable start time of +/- 1 minute. There is a global announcement 25s before it spawns. 60s before that there is also an in-world only visual effect to let you know which lane it'll randomly spawn in.

- Unstable Rift comeback bonuses (resists in the area, extra comeback bounty, and trailing/leading team claiming timer) now all scale linearly based on the amount of NW they are trailing (scales from no bonus at 0% NW behind to full bonus at 15% NW behind)

- The team that secures the Unstable Rift now also has a wave of 5 Rift Troopers sent down from the rift location. When trailing, spawns up to 12 troopers instead (using the same linear ramp from 0% NW to -15% NW)

- Urn running is now its own objective. Spawns on either end of the map (where the previous neutral pickup locations were), and gets delivered to the opposite end. Spawns at 10/15/20/25/etc.

Minor Update - 06-11-2026

- Urn give up time reduced from 75s to 60s

- Urn bounty reduced by 10% (unreduced for trailing team)

- Kill comeback bounty values increased by 8%

Minor Update - 06-04-2026

Primary details: - Delivering the urn now starts a king of the hill style capture point, rather than using melee to flip the urn back and forth.

- Both teams can progress at the same time, but the urn will only be fully claimed once there is only one team in the circle.
