Star Wars Hunters Season 4 Update: What’s New in the Arena?

The galaxy just got a little more chaotic (in the best way possible). Star Wars Hunters has dropped its highly-anticipated Season 4 update, and the patch notes are brimming with fresh content, gameplay tweaks, and some festive surprises. Whether you’re a sharpshooter, a lightsaber enthusiast, or just here for the chaos of the Scrap Salvage mode, there’s plenty to sink your teeth into. Let’s dive in and unpack all the highlights!

Meet Nox: The Newest Hunter in Town

A new Damage Class Hunter, Nox, has entered the Arena. Hailing from a remote village on Iridonia, Nox is a former Night Wind assassin on a quest to find her long-lost sister. Armed with a Composite Bow, she excels at long-range combat. Charging her bow increases damage output, and her Poisoned Spread Shot ability allows her to fire multiple poison-tipped arrows simultaneously. Her mobility is enhanced by jet boots, enabling a double jump and an aerial dodge, making her a formidable opponent.

Explore the New Battlefield: Endor Aftermath

Season 4 introduces “Endor Aftermath,” a battlefield inspired by the Forest Moon of Endor. Players will navigate through an abandoned Imperial base overrun by the forest, encountering collapsed bridges, decrepit AT-STs, and a crashed X-wing replica at the center. This map offers a blend of natural and man-made obstacles, providing fresh strategic challenges.

New Game Mode: Scrap Salvage

The update brings a new game mode, Scrap Salvage. In this mode, players collect Scrap by eliminating opponents and deposit it to Anzellans residing in the Arena. Supply Caches appear intermittently, offering additional Scrap, adding a layer of strategy to the gameplay. Scrap Salvage will feature in event queues throughout the season.

Holo-Arcade Mode: Arrow Assault

Arrow Assault is a new Holo-Arcade Mode that pays tribute to Nox. All players assume the role of Nox with a rebalanced ability kit in a twist on Squad Brawl. The mode emphasizes aerial maneuvers and precision shooting, with critical eliminations dealing increased damage, potentially resulting in one-hit eliminations.

Huttball Mode Enhancements

In Huttball, players can now use traversal abilities without dropping the Huttball. This change enhances mobility and introduces new tactical possibilities, allowing more Hunters to excel as ball carriers.

Balancing Updates

Season 4 includes several balancing adjustments:

• Vex:
  • Maximum Overheat: Increased from 26 to 30.
  • Missile Launcher Homing: Homing increased by 15%.

These changes aim to enhance Vex’s combat effectiveness and overall gameplay balance.

Expansive Cosmetic Additions

The update introduces 228 new cosmetic items, including costumes, weapon wraps, avatars, stickers, and victory poses. These additions allow players to further personalize their Hunters and showcase their unique style in the Arena.
