What to expect in Season 26 Split 2?

This mid-season update is going to tweak many things in the game. A long-dominant legend, Ash, is finally going to get nerfed.

On the other hand, Mad Maggie is going to get some enhancement new Tier 2 and 3 Upgrades, and quality-of-life tweaks to her Riot Drill and Wrecking Ball.

Seer, who has been on the poor side, is now finally getting a small buff. This will enhance his recon abilities while also paying attention to the meta.

Weapon-wise, the Devotion’s Turbocharger removal (now requiring purple-tier attachments) and nerfs to the Bocek, Mastiff, and Peacekeeper attempt to change the present battlefield.

Because of their popularity, the 30-30 Repeater and Peacekeeper may receive additional hotfixes after launch.

Aside from that, expect a new event, an update to the Wildcard playlist, and changes to the Attachment/Locked Hop-Up. These alterations will alter the strategy for the season’s second half.
