April Store Update 2025
Welcome to the fourth Store update of 2025.
April’s Store update brings in the very first Contender Hanna, a new Survivor Pass, a new Progressive weapon skin and Chroma for the SKS, and more!
Contender
Hanna
…Looking for someone. DM for tips. #BATTLEGROUNDS #WHY_I_FIGHT
Introducing the new system in the Workshop — Contender. The first Contender, Hanna, set out on a journey to find someone dear to her. Her search has led her to the Battlegrounds. You might run from her… but you can’t hide.
Veil lifted. Blade drawn. Meet Hanna.
Hanna is to be released with the following cosmetics:
Lv. 1: Basic Form / Contender Lobby Pose / Contender Emote
Lv. 2: Kill Effect
Lv. 3: Dive Trail Effect
Lv. 4: Final Form
Lv. 5: Kill Badge
※ Contender Lobby Poses and Emotes can only be used when the matching Contender is activated.
※ Dive Trail Effect applies a special effect to your falls when the matching Contender is activated, and can be toggled on or off mid-air.
※ If the matching Contender is activated, Kill Badge applies a special badge to the killfeed whenever you kill an enemy.
