Operation Daybreak Update

*The **Operation: Daybreak Update** seizes the day, packed dense with not only the Wasteland Wilds Battle Pass, but also Juke, Rogue Company’s latest addition, a map visual update, several Project Saint updates and more!*

## Year 2, Season 3: Wasteland Wilds

In the ruinous landscape of the *Wasteland Wilds*, our rogues skirmish and scavenge for cosmetics across 50 levels, earned by playing matches. Every match gives you XP that help you unlock lock the gear you need to survive out in the wastes, be it the **Inferno Positron** mythic wrap or by scorching the earth with the **Wasteland Scorch** outfit!

### Gameplay Experience

Juke is a brilliant new rogue that brings with her tons of cutting-edge technology to change the way you can maneuver and set up around the map as a defender. The Juke Boots offer a way to reach heights that were before unreachable! Your Laser Defense Drones allow you to quickly entrench yourself in a new position, while the Reflector introduces a fun new way to send your opponents cascading to their demise!

### Abilities & Equipment

* Abilities
* Armory
* Perks

  **PASSIVE**  | **Juke Boots** | * Juke Boots are a modifier to her dodge roll. With 3 charges(that can recharge), Juke is able to quickly maneuver the same directions of the normal dodge roll but with a reduced cooldown. Additionally she can use her boots mid-air to evade and make positioning plays not possible by other rogues. If she is out of charges, she will dodge roll normally until her boots are recharged.

## Supply Drops

We’re adding a system in Rogue Company called Supply Drops and here’s a TLDR:

* Supply Drops will allow players to unlock in-game items while playing Rogue Company.
* There are two versions of supply drops - Reward Supply Drops and Rogue Supply Drops. You can earn Reward Supply Drops through play, or spend Reputation to unlock Rogue Supply Drops.
* There is also an option to unlock Rogue Supply Drops with Rogue Bucks, but we believe the vast majority of Rogue Supply Drops will be unlocked with Reputation.
* Each Reward Supply Drop will give you one item, and each Rogue Supply Drop will give you two items.
* The Supply Table is visible in game, you have an equal chance to obtain each item, and you will only unlock items you currently don’t own.
* Supply Drops are completely optional and offer no advantages in-game.

## Ranked Updates

The first new season of the new year begins today, granting last season’s rewards and unlocking new ones to earn! We are moving this season of Ranked back to 4v4 and hope you enjoyed our experimental run of 3v3.

### Ranked Strikeout

To further expand the ranked experience for our players: as an experiment, we are introducing a separate ranked queue for Strikeout. Strikeout has shown to be a very popular game mode and, for a good while, there wasn’t a place that the strikeout diehards could graduate to and have a place in the competitive environment. In this update, please try out the ranked experience for Strikeout, complete with the Draft Pick Rogue Select improvement that we detailed above. Let us know what you think!

### Draft Pick

In this update, we aim to improve the overall draft pick experience for our ranked and custom games. This overhaul entails a polished new rogue select experience, cleaner ban experience and unique rogue limitations. In addition, players will no longer re-draft their rogues at half-time. This will have players approach their matches in a more tactical ‘give and take’ mindset in the rogue select phase of the match. We hope you enjoy this update and look forward to your feedback

### Rewards

The following rewards will be given to those who are marked veterans in ranked and to those who have achieved Rogue tier during the active season:

* Play 30 Ranked Games: Gunsmith Avatar
* Achieve Rogue Tier: Cornered Animated Banner

### General Changes

* Player count reverted to 4v4, from 3v3.

## Map Updates

### Depot

*In this update, we are reintroducing Depot, a skirmish map that has undergone a visual overhaul to not only meet our standard for quality but also have a better place in the world of Rogue Company. Depot is one of many training grounds used by Rogue Company for Rogues to hone their skills (or even settle scores with each other) to keep in peak condition. We look forward to your feedback!*
