Blitz
Blitz will remain a weekend-only event after free-to-play but will now be arranged in Seasons. **Please take a look at our Blitz blog here for more information!**Seasons last 7 weeks, with only 6 weeks of new content so for each of 6 weekends the player will have the opportunity to play blitz and earn rank and blitz-exclusive prizes. The 7th weekend will be an opportunity to practice and spend any remaining tokens.Each weekend has its own mini championship and the player has the chance to climb as high as they can in ranking for that weekend.Ranking-up is based on winning rounds and matches via a Ranked Points system (we call these points “RP”).
- Winning a round earns one RP.
- Winning a match earns 8 RP.At the end of each weekend your rank is reset and you can try to better yourself the next weekend.
Blitz Seasons
Although your rank is reset every weekend there is still persistence across the 6 weeks of a blitz season. This persistence takes the form of blitz challenges and a blitz-specific area of the shop, so trying your best and getting the highest possible rank you can does matter!Blitz challenges and this blitz shop are persistent for the whole of the 6 weeks of the season. The player has those 6 weeks to try and complete these blitz challenges and buy the content of the blitz shop.After those 6 weeks the content from that season is locked and not available elsewhere in the game.The blitz shop’s content is exclusive to blitz players because it can only be bought with Blitz Tokens, a new currency that can only be earned in Blitz.The Blitz row in the shop will contain 2 tiles;
- One will let you preview content purchasable with Blitz Tokens
- The other will let you preview content earnable by completing blitz challenges
Competitive Tokens
Competitive Tokens (CT) are earned through 2 ways.
Ranking-up in Blitz
Ranking-up earns you a base amount of CT, every weekend the player can earn 201 CT through ranking-up.
Completing Blitz challenges
As before, Blitz has its own challenges. These challenges are open for the whole of the 6 weeks and completing them earns CT.

Jumpshot
Our newest game mode, Jumpshot will be coming during the Rise event on the 29th of June.
Here is how Jumpshot will play;
- It’s played in 4 teams of 3.
- One at a time, each of your team gets a Gear to carry and fill up by slamming and wrecking your opponents.
- You have to bank your score by jumping through the point goal in the centre of the map.
- Your Gear can carry up to 20 points maximum.
- You can only carry the Gear for a set amount of time, and this is where your team mates come in.
- Your team-mates can earn you extra time by slamming and wrecking the other teams. You start with 20s, they can top you up to 30s
- The team that banks the most score in the match’s time limit wins.
- You can run around on foot and not lose your Gear.
Other rules;
- If you run out of time you lose your Gear, receive 0 points and the gear is passed to your team-mate.
- If you get KO’d (in vehicle or on-foot) you lose your Gear and points, then it’s passed to your team-mate.
- The order that you and your team-mates receive the Gear to carry is pre-set and shown in the top-left HUD.
More news on Jumpshot will come soon.👀
