New weekly care package drop collections, Spring cleaning on Inferno and Train, and an update to content in the Armory—today's update contains a little something for everyone!

Your weekly care packages just got a bit more interesting. Three new weapon collections have been added to the care package drop list, so keep an eye out for items from the all-new Ascent, Boreal, and Radiant collections. With over 70 new finishes, these collections feature a wide range of styles from solid colors, gold reliefs, camo patterns, custom paint jobs and more.

Welcome to Premier Season Two.

If you haven't heard the news, here's what's new in Season Two. Vertigo is out, Train is in, the M4A4 is more... A4-dable... and we've tweaked the FAMAS.

Season Two runs from now through the Austin Major, at which point players who meet the requirements will be awarded a Premier Season Two Medal. The color will correspond to your highest CS Rating achieved during the season, and the bars will reflect your total wins, with one bar for every 25—up to five bars.

To earn your Premier Season Two Medal, you'll need an account in good standing, 25 Premier match wins, and an active CSR at the end of the season.

Premier matchmaking is now open for business, so hit the queue and start racking up those wins!
