Data miners have uncovered the roadmap for the next two Mythic-tier cosmetics, confirming which legends will be receiving the prestigious “Prestige” treatment. According to the latest leaks, Fuse is scheduled to receive his Prestige skin during Split 2 of the current Season 28. This aligns with the “Breach” theme, as Fuse has seen a massive surge in popularity following his recent rework.
Looking further ahead, Ash has been identified as the recipient of the Season 29 Prestige skin. While details on the specific tiers and finisher animations for Ash are still under wraps, the community expects a design that leans heavily into her simulacrum origins and robotic precision. These Mythic skins typically require 150 Heirloom Shards or the completion of a dedicated Collection Event.
Season 28 Split 2 balance changes: Wraith, Gibraltar, and Loba
The mid-season update for Season 28 is shaping up to be a major meta shift. Leaks suggest that Respawn is targeting three specific legends for buffs to improve their viability in the current high-speed environment. While the full patch notes are still a few weeks away, the focus appears to be on perk enhancements rather than base ability reworks.
- Wraith: Expected to receive buffs that address her tactical activation time or portal distance to help her compete with Alter.
- Gibraltar: Targeted for upgrades to his Gunshield or Dome Shield to counteract his declining pick rate in the “Breach” meta.
- Loba: Likely receiving enhancements to her tactical “Burglar’s Best Friend” or her Black Market range to solidify her spot as a premier support anchor.
Split 2 Battle Pass rewards and Legendary R-99
The Split 2 Battle Pass for Season 28 will feature new legendary cosmetics for several fan-favorite legends and weapons. Loba and Catalyst have been confirmed as the recipients of the Legendary legend skins for this half of the season. Given the technological theme of Season 28, these designs are expected to feature high-tech, reinforced aesthetics.
The reactive weapon slot for Split 2 is rumored to be returning to a community staple, as the R-99 SMG is slated for a new Legendary skin. As the R-99 remains a dominant close-range option in the current meta, this skin is expected to be a major draw for players looking to complete their Battle Pass.
Major ultimate activation bug affecting Season 28
A significant gameplay bug is currently plaguing matches in Season 28, leading to frustration among both casual and competitive players. Reports indicate that several ultimates are failing to activate correctly. Specifically, players have noted that pressing the ultimate button combination (typically L1+R1 or Q+Z) instead triggers the character’s tactical ability.
This glitch can be catastrophic during high-pressure resets or rotations, such as when a Newcastle attempts to slam his Castle Wall but accidentally throws his Mobile Shield instead. Respawn has acknowledged the reports of “input overlap” and is currently investigating a fix, which is expected to be deployed alongside the Split 2 update if not addressed in a sooner hotfix.
