Looks like we're getting a new Game Mode! PvE and story-based, pretty cool stuff. Notably, the new Treasure Packs have actual cosmetic rewards attached to them
- "There are 45 packs to collect this season, and each one can contain Crafting Metals, BattlePass XP, Apex Packs, or the ability to play a new weekly Hunt for the next piece of the artifact"
Finding a pack that contains a Hunt will let you access a new PvE mission, can be done solo or with a squad!
- "To actually find and recover each missing piece of the relic, you’ll need to get your hands dirty in one of nine weekly Hunts…. These are quick and dangerous incursions into Kings Canyon at Night. You’ll get dropped off, make your way to a target location, recover the piece you’re looking for, and rush to catch your ride home"
- "Party up and bring your Squad along for some covering fire & companionship, or go in Solo like the you are. Solo players get a few automatic respawns if they’re knocked out, while squadmates can pick each other up when the going gets tough"
- "Complete each Hunt to earn your next piece of the artifact, an exclusive Weapon Charm, and a new chapter in the ongoing story of "The Broken Ghost""
