Epic themselves typically don't drop keyart until after the patch. The battlepass or keyart leaks a day or 2 before due to it going up early on a system storefront. Maybe they have given up on trying to stay completely hush-hush about certain aspects.

Yeah, I liked the crafting system back in Chapter 2 but there were too many mod options and not enough mod benches. At least with crafting you could upgrade your weapons anywhere instead of going to one of a handful of map slots and praying you didn't get jumped by campers.

I'm most likely not going to get the rest of those goofy odyssey pieces. Nor am I going to get to 200, most likely. Bounced off the other game modes, wasn't able to take advantage. That said, I'm gonna bust my rear end to get that last goofy rear end tiger man skin. It's just so gaudy

Go to the crashed container ship in the southwest side of the map and break everything, you get like 30 pieces per run. There are more cargo containers at the little village up the zipline on the mountain, too.

THUNDERBOLT OF ZEUS
Become a Storm of your own. With the Thunderbolt of Zeus, you can rise into the air and hurl lightning bolts at your target! Use this power wisely though, as the Thunderbolt of Zeus has three maximum charges with a cooldown between each one. How to wield this electricity? Pick up this Mythic power across the Island or by defeating Zeus himself.

GATEKEEPER SHOTGUN
Forged by Hephaestus for Cerberus, the Gatekeeper Shotgun can quickly fire three aggressive rounds. This Shotgun is best at short range, so hit all three shots fast to show your bite’s as bad as your bark! When you’re done, prepare for your next target with a full magazine reload. The Gatekeeper Shotgun can be found across the Island, but the Mythic variant is only obtainable from Cerberus rolling over.


HARBINGER SMG
Like Hades himself, the Harbinger SMG is unforgiving and relentless — even when exhausted. Highly accurate when first shot, it has dramatically increased recoil and bloom as more bullets are fired. But that doesn’t stop it from going all out. Find the regular version across the Island or the Mythic version from defeating Hades.

HUNTRESS DMR
Artemis, goddess of the moonlit hunt. During battle, take a note from Artemis and use a weapon created to dole out punishment from a distance. Even though it was created for gods to punish mortals, flip the script and use the Huntress DMR to punish the gods (and some mortals too we guess). You can hunt for Huntress DMRs across the Island… or get the Mythic version by hunting down Zeus.


new Drum Gun

WARFORGED ASSAULT RIFLE
The Warforged Assault Rifle is forged for battle-hungry gods — which is why it’s the favorite of Ares. Powerful yet unruly, this Assault Rifle has high damage, high rate of fire, and strong recoil. Find one across the Island or fight Ares for the Mythic version!


ANOTHER POWER… THE POWER OF FLIGHT!
The Thunderbolt of Zeus isn’t the only Olympian Power. With the Wings of Icarus, soar through the skies and divebomb your foes below! But beware: fly too long and your wings will burn up, and taking too much damage may lead to a crash landing. Find this Mythic power across the Island!


Chug splashes are back.

Hades' chain will become available later in the season.

The Hammer will be returning as Hephaestus' Hammer and will do fire damage.

Umbrella. There is a ranked version of this too.


Bosses
There are 5 and a later 6th new bosses on the map. They will each have Medallions that give augments. Here are 4 with known augments. Medusa is another Medallion. Unknown what it does.


Quests and Lore
Snapshot Quests are back with 4 parts each focusing on a different god or mythical creature.

the gods are the antagonists of this season. primarily Zeus.

the Society has survived and is fighting against the gods.

the actual real Midas has escaped The Underworld and Hades. He and his crew are/will be NPCs on the island. They are planning something. Floor is Lava will be returning with Midas that has unique rewards.

Odyssey has a connection to the Oathbound and possibly Geno.

There will be an end of season event similar to the Titan Hand and Chest.
