Paladins OB44 Patch Preview: Survival Game Mode Returns; Season 1, New Drogoz Skin And More

Following the release of Paladins Open Beta 43 several weeks ago, it seems like Hi-Rez Studios is ready to take the next step. Earlier today, the studio teased the contents of the upcoming OB44 patch. The said update features the new Dreadhunter Skin for champion Drogoz and the most-awaited Season 1 of Paladins.

The full patch notes for the upcoming update have been posted on Paladins Reddit page. As seen on the post, Season 1 has been showcased which features the Legendary Cards, Card Crafting, Essence, and Scorebaord. These Legendary Cards bring powerful advantage to each present champion. They can be selected during the start of the match. Apparently, these cards are separated from Loadout Cards.

Furthermore, it was explained that players will be required to select one of their Legendary Cards depending on their preferred playstyle. Similar to the Loadout Cards, these Legendary Cards will be locked out for the whole duration of the game. On the other hand, Radiant Chests will no longer drop Gold for every duplicate item and will be replaced by Essence. As reported, Essence is a brand new currency for the Season 1 of Paladins. Based on the patch notes, both Loadout and Legendary Cards are now unlocked via Essence.

Meanwhile, the previous Survival mode is making its comeback in Paladins Open Beta. It will be a 5v5 permadeath round based mode. Survival mode features a death fog that sneaks in from the edge of the map, which will force the two teams to engage until one is left.

Additionally, Survival Mode arrives along with its two new maps called Primal Court and Snowfall Junction. Meanwhile, players who main Drogoz would love to see this update as the champion receives a new collection skin. The Dreadhunter Skin transformed Drogoz into an Alien-Predator which is reported to spit acid instead of the usual fire.

Lastly, the OB44 patch will now allow players to customize their crosshair type at their own preference. It can be found in the Gameplay tab of the Settings Menu. Based on the post, it will be a global override which applies to all heroes. Paladins OB44 patch is expected to be uploaded on the PTS anytime soon and will go live after few days of testing.
