Your time in paradise just got even more pleasant. The first major update of Chapter 3 Season 4 is here, bringing with it a new DMR, new things to unlock with your Keys, and the Grapple Glove’s return! Also, this Season’s Super Level Styles will soon be available.
Scope Out Prey with the Cobra DMR
It's not easy to flee the long range of a Cobra DMR. With its fast fire rate, opponents can be swiftly defeated if you have a steady hand. Find Cobra DMRs from the ground, Chests, Supply Drops, fishing, Loot Sharks, and Reality Sapling Fruit!
(With the arrival of the Cobra DMR, the normal DMR has been vaulted.)
Unlock New Opportunities
So far in Chapter 3 Season 4, you’ve been using Keys to open Low-Security Vaults and High-Security Vaults. Now, Holo-Chests join the receptacle selection! Use one Key to open a Holo-Chest holding an item you desire: Holo-Chests display a holographic preview of what’s inside so you’ll know whether it has what you need before opening it.
Have something Exotic on your mind? If you're too far away from a selling Character, use two Keys to open an Exotic Holo-Chest! Exotic Holo-Chests contain an Exotic item, and as you'd expect, display a holographic preview of that item.
Grappling with the Past - The Grapple Glove Returns!
Who says you can’t keep vibin’ in paradise? The Grapple Glove from Chapter 3 Season 3: Vibin’ is unvaulted! How does the Grapple Glove work?
-
To begin swinging, shoot its grappling hook at a hard surface like a cliff, prop, or building. Each successive swing gets faster until the third swing and beyond, when you’ll be at max speed.
-
If you miss a shot and land on the ground, you’ll have a brief window of time to shoot the grappling hook and come back swinging. You'll have an even longer window if you slide out of a swing, so don't be afraid to combo some slides into your swinging action!
-
Don’t worry if your window of time runs out: after a brief cooldown, the Grapple Glove will ready itself back up. When the Grapple Glove’s ready again, get back in the air… or get something out of reach — its grappling hook can also be used to pull items towards you! Keep shooting the grappling hook until your Grapple Glove’s out of charges.
Unlike in Chapter 3 Season 3, Grapple Gloves aren’t stored in Grapple Glove Toolboxes. This time, they can be found from the ground, Chests, Supply Drops, and Legendary and Mythic Reality Sapling Fruit. Grapple Gloves will be available until the v22.20 update.
More for Nothing
Bytes’ The Nothing’s Gift Pickaxe is on Page 2 of the Chapter 3 Season 4 Battle Pass. Starting in v22.10, everyone who’s unlocked this Pickaxe (or will unlock this Pickaxe) will receive Bytes Quests! Equip Bytes and complete these Quests to unlock up to seven alt Styles for The Nothing’s Gift, including The Dread Claw, Sharpened Sunburst, Razer Thorn, and more. What can’t Chrome be molded into?
Chapter 3 Season 4 Super Level Styles
Become chromatic. In the Bonus Rewards section of the Battle Pass tab, bonus Styles for this Season’s Battle Pass Outfits have been available for players who progress past Level 100. Starting October 6 at 9 AM ET, this Season’s Super Level Styles will become available!
What are the Super Level Styles this Season? Progress past Level 140 in Chapter 3 Season 4 and start unlocking the Celestial, Spectral, and Aurelian Styles for Bytes, Lennox Rose, Paradigm (Reality-659), Meow Skulls, and Spider-Gwen.
Detailed Squad Comms Wheel… in Detail
An enemy was here! Look, loot over there! Starting with v22.00, you may have noticed a more robust Squad Comms Wheel. Hold your Ping button to pull up the Squad Comms Wheel and place pings with more detail for your squad — or send orders to your hired Characters.
While your squadmates may ignore the added details to “Watch this spot” or “Defend here” when they’re halfway across the map, Characters you’ve hired on the Island will follow your every command. Place markers for them to move up to a point, follow you, or even go revive a downed teammate!
