This season marks a departure from previous codenamed seasons, going straight to the action-packed "Wanted" theme. The heist focus promises high-stakes gameplay with plenty of opportunities for daring robberies.
A major highlight is the collaboration with Mortal Kombat, bringing Sub-Zero into the Battle Pass. This tie-in complements the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 film.
Skins will be priced at 1,500 V-Bucks each.

Returning weapons include the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. Speculation is rife about the potential return of other heist-themed favorites like the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler, though these remain unconfirmed.
A significant gameplay addition is "Smart Building," a predictive system that anticipates your building needs based on your aiming direction. The heist theme also introduces vault breaches, replacing keycards. Players will utilize Meltanite, a thermite-like substance, to access the vaults and their rewards.
