Our latest Hunter, Pilbush, arrives in the Arena. This Ewok Grenadier controls her very own AT-ST inspired vehicle - a custom built, first of its kind All Terrain Ewok Transport. Pilbush is fascinated with explosives, which she utilizes on the battlefield. This damage-class Hunter’s primary weapon is her Grenade Launcher, firing an explosive projectile at enemies which can bounce off of the environment. Her Ultimate Ability, Cluster Bomb, fires a clustered explosive which knocks back and damages any enemies in the vicinity.

Step onto the snowy Hoth-inspired battlefield of Hoth Frontline! Replicating one of the galaxy’s greatest battles, Hoth Frontline plunges you into the middle of the action. Navigate treacherous ice trenches, fight through Rebel Alliance hangars, and battle on the ground as snowspeeders race overhead and towering AT-AT walker replicas fire on the surrounded ion cannon. Don’t stray too far from the battlefield - you wouldn’t want to find yourself in a wampa lair!
There are hundreds of new pieces of cosmetic content coming in Season 3! These include Costumes, Weapon Wraps, Stickers, Avatars, Victory Poses, and introducing… Emotes!
Emotes Emotes will be released throughout the duration of the Season as rewards through the Arena Pass, Bundles, Shop, events and Arena Vault! All Hunters will also gain one Emote as a default for players to use as soon as they unlock them, with a second available for free for each Hunter on their Hunter Fame track.
To use Emotes, players can equip them in the Hunter customization screen to add them to the Expression Wheel. Players can then trigger Emotes in match the same way as they would use Stickers - via the Expression Wheel.
During the SHADOW NIGHT FESTIVAL, check out the in-game Shop for special themed content including the ferocious like Sentinel’s GORAX FURY bundle!
Aran Tal Joining Hunter's Path
Aran Tal has been officially added to the Hunter's Path as of the start of Season 3! You can unlock him by earning Hunter Tokens through gameplay, or start playing with him now by purchasing him on the Path with crystals or buying the Aran Tal Starter Pack.
Arena Vault
We are introducing Arena Vault, a new way to purchase new and exclusive cosmetic content! The first draw for all Arena Vaults in Season 3 will be free. Each time a draw is played, the entry cost will increase. Once a reward is earned, it is removed from the overall prize pool. Probability of receiving items can be viewed within the Arena Vault menu. Players will also receive a bonus reward for making enough progress within the Arena Vault to fill the bonus reward meter.
Hunters Mastery
Show off your skill playing as individual Hunters with the new Hunters Mastery feature! Play as a Hunter to level them up to Level 26 and you’ll unlock their Mastery Tiers. Earning Mastery Tiers will upgrade a Hunters’ portrait art to Mastery Portraits and you will also earn additional reward chests as you level them up.
There are three types of Mastery Tiers: Champion, Legend, and Master. Champion Tier unlocks at Level 26 to display a purple Mastery Portrait. Legend Tier unlocks at Level 40 to display an orange Mastery Portrait. Master Tier unlocks at Level 55 to display a red Mastery Portrait, which includes a special pose where the Hunter appears to be breaking out of their portrait frame.
Mastery Portraits for Hunters will appear in the following screens: Hunter Roster Screen, Hunter Fame Screen, Pre-Match Vs Screen, Post Match Flow Results Screen. The background color of portraits in the Hunters Selection Screen also changes to show Mastery Tier of each Hunter. Once you’ve reached Mastery Tiers, you’ll also receive a reward chest each time your Hunter levels up. These reward chests pull from a pool of possible rewards which include Credits, Crystals, and cosmetics. Unlock Mastery Tiers for all of your Hunters to show off your mastery of the game!
Unlocking Friends & Parties Earlier
We have made updates so that Friends & Parties will be unlocked after your third match, so you can send or accept invites from your friends and start playing with them faster! You will also be granted the minimum number of Hunters in your roster if needed to be ready for battle and be able to play with your friends immediately! You will also be able to accept invites from friends before the third match if you receive them even earlier.
Game Mode Unlock Updates
Game Modes will no longer be unlocked on the Player Level Track. Instead, you will now unlock new modes as you play more matches. You will continue to see modes in the Game Mode selection screen and, now, you will also see how many matches it will take to unlock the next mode at the bottom.
