• Team Slayer rebalanced to highlight default Slayer game variants and include new offerings
• Classic Slayer removed
• Removed “Pro” game variants from the Arena Playlist
• Removed Boardwalk from Arena Team Doubles Playlist
• Added “Return to Battlefield” volume to Space on Zealot in the Arena Playlist

• King of the Hill (multiple Playlists, including Arena*)
• Rocket Race
• Juggernaut (Rumble Pit Playlist)
• *King of the Hill not included in Arena

• Sudden Death will be added to all Assault game variants, including Invasion
• Team Objective will now feature the map Powerhouse
• Replacing Drop Shield with Evade for King of the Hill, Territories, and Oddball
• Replacing Hologram with Evade in Oddball, Capture the Flag, Assault, and Stockpile
• Replacing the Scorpion on Hemorrhage with Wraiths (Hemorrhage Heavies variant, TBD)

The team also added that the list are only part of the highlights of the update, "and not all of the proposed changes we'll be making to the online experience in the weeks and months ahead. The items listed are those of the inbound soon variety. We'll make some more noise about a potential second October update as soon as the details are set in stone. Suffice to say, we'll be adding some new "stuff" to keep it fresh and we've already begun to dig into some sweet user created content in search of future matchmaking hopefuls. More on that in updates to come. Stay Tuned."
