Wildcard: Winter Olympus

Olympus gets the full holiday treatment in Wildcard. Inside this snowglobe is a frozen battlefield stuffed with winter decorations and EVO Orbs that'll make you feel the festive spirit.

Guarded Airdrops turn Wildcard into a holiday free-for-all: Each Airdrop hits the ground with a squad of hostile Spectres guarding the best loot.

Fight your way through a squad of hostile Spectres (and anyone else who’s crashed the holiday party) to claim powerful Mythic weapons from previous seasons:

• Kraber: This powerful .50 calibre bolt-action sniper rifle comes with a variable 6-10x optic, devastating at long range.
• Power Sword: This special melee weapon is making a comeback! Block attacks and charge the lethal Ultimate.
• Vermilion R-301: This R-301 is a killing machine, with a higher crit chance and it drops a thermite on your enemy on knock.
• Hornet R-301: This R-301 amps up your speed and mobility, boosting movement, reload speed, and grants a Tactical and Ultimate charge on knock for you and your allies.
• Grand Slam Bat: This bat packs a huge knockback to send your enemies flying.
• Road Rage Flatline: This brutal assault rifle turns knocked enemies into time bombs, and every 5th bullet does double damage and unleashes an AOE blast.

Clear the guards, crack the crate, and spread the kind of holiday cheer you can only get from high-tier gear.
