Search and Rescue is an objective mode that borrows elements from Kill Confirmed and inserts them into Search and Destroy. While you should always “play your life”, now fallen players drop dog tags. Collect your teammates tags to revive them, but if the enemy picks them up your squadmates will be permanently eliminated from the match. Watch your six in this S&D hybrid mode, and try to confirm your kills, so the enemy doesn’t come back and take revenge. 

Master the pitch with ‘The Game Winner’ bundle for Gaz. The bundle includes a jersey-like Operator skin, a Legendary assault rifle, and the ‘Footy’ weapon charm. Look the part for any match with ‘The Game Winner’ bundle. 

Get a new look for Mara with the ‘Mara: Kawaii Cat’ bundle. This 10-item bundle includes colorful vehicle skins, the Aomi melee swords, and a Legendary blueprint – the Slaying Moon. Get Mara’s ‘Notice Meow’ skin in this fun Operator bundle in Store this week. 

Ground War Reinforce is live this week and work to capture flags to gain position and bring your teammates back into the battle. Similar to Domination, there will only be three flags positioned in the center for a tighter more intense battle. Cap all three to automatically claim the round for your team.
