July 30, 2025 - Infiltrator Rework PTS Update

Infiltrator Rework – Phase One (PTS, July 30 – August 12, 2025) 

The new Infiltrator rework aims to reduce the class's overreliance on high-damage ambushes while expanding its utility in team-based play. The class is being adjusted to support more tactical, flexible gameplay. We recognize how impactful and potentially jarring these class and playstyle changes can be. Therefore, we invite you to fill out our new PTS survey on the changes. Your feedback is very important to us, so be sure to check our socials for the survey drop!

We will continue to work on polishing and will not release this version on the live servers until we achieve the required quality.
