With Season 25 just days away, a massive wave of gameplay details and Leaks has dropped, showing off everything from Sparrow’s double jump tech to the return of explosive arrows. From heirloom recolors to secret animations and weapon changes, this season looks stacked.

Here’s a complete overview of what’s coming.

🎯 Triple Take Replaces Bocek in the Care Package

With the Bocek Bow returning to ground loot, the Triple Take takes its place in the care package. But it’s not just a rarity swap.

Changes to Triple Take:

  • Damage increased from 66 to 69
  • Comes with a new Gun Shield Generator, allowing for safe peeks and better survivability during sniper duels

  • Deals 55 body damage (down from 75)
  • Headshot damage reduced from 120 to 88
  • Supports explosive arrows using Frag Grenades
  • Arrow ammo no longer spawns in loot, must be picked up from fallen players

🧠 Sparrow’s Gameplay and Abilities

Sparrow, the new legend in Season 25, brings a whole new level of Movement and tracking.

Passive: Double Jump

  • Works like a vertical Ash dash
  • Usable both mid-air and while climbing walls
  • Has a cooldown meter, only resets when both feet touch the ground

Tactical: Tracker Dart

  • Launches a dart that scans enemies crossing its line of sight
  • Ideal for controlling space and locating hidden threats

Ultimate: Stinger Arrow

  • Fires multiple arrows that zap enemies within line of sight
  • Emits multiple small bursts of damage per arrow
  • Feels powerfuland possibly over-tuned for launch

Sparrow’s finisher includes a football, and some of his animations show off his full release skin set.

These gloves have “Belleva” branding, tying into Season 25’s lore theme and aesthetics.
