The brand-new progressive weapon skin for the AWM sniper rifle- Faded Ghost: AWM lets you strike in silence and vanish without a trace, and levels up with kills/assists. There are two variants- Faded Ghost: AWM and Faded Ghost: AWM (Mocha Beige in Chroma finish). You can get it from Counterband Crate (offers 50% off for the first purchase) and Scrap Broker.
Survivor Pass: Erangel Subzero is the themed battle pass. A 50% BP Boost has been added as a Premium Pass reward, while the previous three BP Boost rewards have been removed. Contraband coupons and some key rewards have been replaced with BP. Due to legal regulations, this Survivor Pass is not available in Belgium and the Netherlands.
