00:00Welcome to the first Test Grounds update, where we give you early access to new maps and items.
00:08Introducing Shell Maps. These are unfinished maps where your feedback will help us develop
00:13the play space and match flow. First up, Hammerfall, featuring iconic landmarks,
00:20tight spaces, and long alleyways. This map will push your gunplay skills to the limit.
00:30Next is Storm Chaser. Storm Chaser is a traversal playground, meaning the sky is the limit for utility.
00:43Now let's talk about the new gear coming to this update. The Sovereign is a lightweight sniper rifle
00:49built for mobility and speed. With a cheaper cost, this will provide you with a strong long-range
00:54weapon in those earlier rounds. And finally, Overdrive will boost your move, reload, and weapon
01:02swap speeds. All so you can get the upper hand. This is just the beginning. With your feedback,
