What’s New

Hey all. The Hunt is nearly over, and Reload is about to get a lot more exciting. The map rotation is getting refreshed, and the loot pool is getting changes in this update as well, alongside brand-new One Piece weapons, giving you powerful new ways to claim the win. The Gold bars are gone, so adapt your strategy and get back into Reload to see everything that’s new! 

The Hunt

The Hunt Match Modifier has returned to normal activation rates and will remain until Nitemare Island leaves the map rotation. 

🆕Map Rotation

Surf City has returned and will be joining Nitemare Island and Squid Grounds. On November 12, Nitemare Island will leave the map rotation, and Springfield will return.

🔄 Reload Loot Pool Updates

New Items in Reload

  • Zoro’s Three Sword Style: Wield three katanas at once. Slash through close encounters and dash in to keep the pressure on.

  • Usopp’s Slingshot: Pull back, line up your target, and let fly. Heavy rounds make this slingshot a marksman’s best friend.

  • Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle: Send a volley of bullets downrange. This fully automatic, fast-firing rifle is at its best at medium range.

  • Gilded Dragoon Shotgun: Make one good blast count. This single-fire shotgun trades mag size for big damage. 

  • Explosive Cannon Ball: A big explosive cannon ball you can throw at your opponents. Available in non-Competitive play.

  • Nami’s Tangerine: Restore health and shields while getting a boost when moving through water. A little vitamin C goes a long way!

We just had an ENTIRE reload season devoted to Springfield. Why are we bringing it back? We have several maps that can be unvaulted rather than the one that was just in rotation.

i’m not mad about springfield, i didn’t mind the map. but the morphite mammoth? without even bringing the pump back? that’s stupid. why are we putting the mammoth and hunting rifle in the same loot pool, yet not a single good scoped smg or AR. i think we should replace either squid games or simpsons map with the regular sized venture. there’s no need for these sloppy seconds blitz maps. but please for the love of god put at least one fast firing smg in the loot pool that’s NOT the flex smg. aka, the red eye, the veiled precision, the combat smg, etc. we haven’t had a good loot pool since before the cube smg came out (worst gun ever made btw). please just put favorited guns in the loot pool. not including the mammoth lol. i know changing it up and introducing new guns is what keeps the game alive but holy crap the guns you guys come up with are hot garbage. fire another 1000 employees why don’t you
