It’s time to reveal the reward for completing all Season 1 Challenges. There are four stages in total, with the final
stage releasing on March 31. Complete every challenge and you get this incredible Shogun skin.
EMP EFFECT IMPROVED
Ever tossed an EMP ‘nade at an enemy portal and thought, “I sure wish this effect was turned to 11?” Us, too!
