    • "Kills", "Wins", and "Damage Done" trackers now have a "BR" prefix before them.
    • The "Season X" prefix in seasonal trackers got replaced by the symbol of that Season.
    • Some trackers have errors (e.g. " BP Wins", trackers with missing "BR" prefix). Fixed in the April 11, 2022 Patch.
  • Cosmetics are now ordered as follows:
  • Due to The Williams Sendoff, the Firing Range has been updated to host three different challenges involving the G7 Scout, Bocek Compound Bow, and P2020.
  • Wattson's fences and Pathfinder's ziplines may not be able to be placed on certain areas of Storm Point due to a bug. Fixed in the April 11, 2022 Patch.
  • Ash's Ugh… she's going to gloat about this all day. Kill Quip has been changed to She's going to gloat about this all day..
  • Time left before a map changes is now positioned in the top right corner of the selected game mode, rather than the bottom right corner.
  • Unlocked more dive trails colors for Battle Royale. Previously, these dive trail colors were only available in game modes such as Shadowfall.
