The Jackpot pool has been updated with new Jackpots. 2 new weapons and 2 new shields replace the previous super rare loot. The chances of getting rare gear has been increased!

NEW WEAPON TYPES

Sol Destroyer: Highly modified BMG. Linking technology has been removed in order to fire a concentrated particle beam. *In addition, the healing unit has been adjusted to provide damage reduction and movement speed which persists for a short time after the connection is severed.

Apocalypse: Fires a nuclear rocket which deals massive damage over a large area in addition to burning and irradiating enemies. *Requires time in aim mode to charge the rocket's propellant.

NEW ELITE LOCKBOX JACKPOT

Oblivion has been replaced with the new Jackpot "Hand of God", a Mazu Blast Rifle!

ELITE AND PREMIUM ELITE LOCKBOX

The Elite and Premium Elite Lockbox has been overhauled. It will now drop loot more consistently across all weapon types, and has had its legendary and epic drop rates increased! The Premium Elite has been increased even further as well!

The Armistice Elite and Premium Elite Lockboxes are back for Armistice only! These boxes will contain a possible drop for ALL of the previous Elite jackpots!
