New ‘Drop-Off’ Arenas map

Sitting high above the skyline of Malta, Drop Off is set inside a fully automated Hammond Manufacturing Tower that was constructed for a single purpose: the early production of critical systems for Olympus.

With the area split up into exterior and interior POIs, Drop Off is a map with plenty of cover, allowing teams to take make strategic moves as squad to outplay their opponents.

Return of Control LTM

After nonstop of requests from the community, Control is making a return in the Warriors Collection event but this time the 9v9 chaos is going to be taking place at Caustic’s Treatment on King’s Canyon.
