Operators,

The battle for Sigma continues. After an incredible first week of Early Access, we’re back in the Sacrifice Zone this Wednesday, March 18, at 1:00 PM PT and Friday, March 20, at 11:00 AM PT for our next Play With The Devs sessions. This week we have 2 new playable Operators and Sigma Abilities entering the zone. Be sure to also check out the new assault rife!

This is your chance to drop into live matches with the team building Shrapnel, test the latest stability improvements, and share your feedback directly with us. Whether you’re hunting for Sigma or hunting the devs, we want to see you there.


Event Details

  • When: Wednesday, March 18

  • Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM PT (Devs may stay longer if the zone is hot!)

  • Where: Jump into the solo queue right at 1:00 PM PT for the best chance to match with the team.

Jeff (Head of Game) and Joshua (Chief Experience Officer) will be joining us this Wednesday for a special AMA to discuss the new patch and answer your questions about Early Access.
