This week things are getting heated up with surprises for you around every corner starting mid-week.
Here’s why:
New Teasers
The time is here - teasers are coming. Starting mid-week you can start to expect us dropping hints all around our social media for our upcoming Champion and next Event Pass theme. Make sure you’re following us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook so that you don’t miss a beat.
We’ll see you in the Realm!
LIMITED TIME MODE – Hide and Seek
All stealth, all damage, all the time. Stealth isn't consumed while in Stealth mode and Stealth is regained at an increased rate. Weapon shots deal 100% more damage.

Earlier this year we announced the return of the in game Bounty Store, and since then you all have been earning Bounty Coins and using them to pick up a ton of amazing content. In addition to this, we are pleased to present an updated Bounty Marketplace.
If you’re new to Paladins and don’t know what the Bounty store is, here’s a quick rundown.
We have reopened the Bounty Store, with more updates to come in the future. As we continue to expand the system towards that goal, we will be making certain changes. In the gen:LOCK patch, there were pricing changes in the updated version. To compensate for this, and in light of exploits from the previous implementation, we normalized previous Bounty Coins such that players were to have between ~100-1000 Bounty Coins when we reopened the store. For the vast majority of players, this was an increase from their previous balance.
Skins that were owned previously will be maintained, but duplicates of each skin are being removed.
Bounty Skins are priced at more Bounty Coins per skin than in the past, but we’ve multiplied the rewards from Daily Quests by 30, and are adding additional ways of earning Coins. Overall, we expect players to see more coins and value relative to previous iterations going forward. We intend to continue to tune these numbers moving forward to get into the right spot.
More Skins for Sale
In the new Bounty Store, each skin will still be on sale for the same three day window, but we will keep a rotating stock of 3 skins, staggered such that 1 skin will change each day.
Bounty Store Event Exclusive
In addition, players who purchase an Event or Crossover Pass will have access to another skin for the duration of the Event. This slot will only be available to players that have purchased the current Pass, though the skin itself may be available through other methods such as Chests or Direct Purchase. Please note that this slot remains consistent during the Pass and does not rotate out or have limited quantities. Keep checking back with each new Event or Crossover Pass to see the new skin that becomes available!

Additional Coin Earning
Starting in the gen:LOCK patch, we’ve implemented a new feature where players will have the option of watching ads in-game to earn Gold, Bounty Coins, and other rewards. Now we know you probably have a few questions and we wanted to be upfront and clear about a few things:
These ads are completely optional. Players that would like to earn rewards via this new feature will need to click the new “Earn Free Rewards!” button on the home menu and opt in for an ad to start playing. If you don’t opt in, you’ll never see an ad and your Paladins experience will be the same as always. We will never add forced or unskippable ads to Paladins, ever.
Ads shown are of a quality and standard that you’d see on TV or other mainstream video service providers or streaming platforms. Nothing cheap or sketchy.
If you watch an ad, you will always receive a reward. Every ad watched will award 100 Gold and you can also earn other rewards like Bounty Coins and Boosters for watching multiple ads.
Bounty Marketplace Update
Today we’re super excited to announce the return of the Online Marketplace, new and improved with loads of new quality of life features to make buying, selling, and trading skins you’ve picked up with Bounty coins easier. Here’s a list of new features and improvements for the marketplace.
A brand new interface that updates in real time. There is no longer any need to reload the site to see if a price drops.
The only sale that is shown at any time is the one that is the lowest cost and oldest
The site is now available on mobile browsers
Various backend changes have been made to optimize the site
We’re ramping up this week with some special weekend XP bonuses for you as well as some secret announcements we can’t just spoil yet.
Here’s the details on this coming weekend:
2X Event Pass XP Weekend
Live: Friday, October 1st at 4AM EST
Ends: Monday, October 4th at 4AM EST
We’ll see you in the Realm!
LIMITED TIME MODE – Cosmic Death
Jenos moves at the speed of light, or as fast as time and space will allow him. Jenos only mode with extremely increased Ultimate Charge gain rate and blazing fast movement speed.
No expense is spared to be the best of the best. She may work for money, but she makes her money work for her -- with the latest equipment to complement her skills. You may try to take cover, but not even solid cover can save you from Saati, the Trickshot.
To you, a coinflip is a gamble. For her, it's an opportunity. If you hear that she's after your bounty, you might as well stop running and meet her face to face -- either way, it only delays her next night out.
The biggest marks yet still walk the Realm, and those big bounties will fund a LOT of carousal.
In addition to Saati, Paladins is welcoming our Nightfall Event Pass featuring Corvus and Skye.
Take to the shadows with our latest Event Pass - Nightfall! Instantly unlock Count Corvus for purchasing, and unlock a total of 24 levels of rewards as you play!
Players can also purchase a Buy All option to get all content in the Nightfall Event Pass instantly!

Hopefully many of you enjoyed the Champion XP weekend we just had and got yourself some more Golden skins for your collections!
Here’s what’s going on this week:
Who’s Got the Mojo?
Join us on Thursday for your chance to get the “got the Mojo” title in Paladins. You can do this by being in our Twitch chat when we go live and the devs playing will select 3 people at a time to team up with them. This stream will go live at 11AM EST on the 23rd.
We’ll see you in the Realm!
LIMITED TIME MODE – Seriously Serious Shooter
Health regeneration is turned off for this mode. When players die they will instead drop a 900 point heath item that players can pick up. Movement speed has increased by 50%.
We have a week packed with updates and more just for you. We hope last weekend’s 2X Champion XP left you wanting more, because we have more around the corner to celebrate the release of Saati.
Here’s what you can expect:
Trickshot Update Live
Coming this Wednesday, we will be taking the servers down around 6:30-7:00AM EST and are hoping to have them back up by 10AM EST for you to all play our newest Champion, Saati. On top of this you’ll have an all new Event Pass and more to unlock content from. Make sure to read through the update notes here.
2X Champion XP and Gold Weekend
To celebrate Saati (who LOVES a good bounty payout) we’re doing 2X Champion XP so you can get Golden Saati, Inara, and Seris. On top of this, we’re also going to have 2X Gold as well. This is a great opportunity to earn some free currency that can buy other skins or unlock Champions you might not own yet!
We know you’ve been asking for 2X Champion XP so we have that coming and more for you. Here’s what you can expect:
Got the Mojo Stream
Make sure to mark your calendars for this Thursday! We will be going live with your next chance to get the “Got the Mojo” title in Paladins by playing with our devs on stream. Tune in September 9th at 11AM EST on Twitch to join in the chat for your opportunity to be selected!
2X Champion XP Weekend
Start your weekend off right with leveling up your favorite Champions!
Begins: Friday, September 10th at 4AM EST
Ends: Monday, September 13th at 4AM EST
We’ll see you in the Realm!
LIMITED TIME MODE – Dash and Grab
Makoa's Hook has extended range while Vatu has increased air control and speed when dashing!
Our gen:LOCK update has taken the Realm by storm these last few weeks. To celebrate, we’re giving you free Crystals for playing and 2X Event Pass XP!
How do you get these rewards?
Play any 2 of the same game modes to get one of the 4 rewards every day. Example: Playing 2 (non-bot) games of Team Deathmatch in a row (win or loss) will grant you 5 Crystals.
Players will be able to earn up to 20 Crystals per day if you play all 4 modes 2 times in a row. You MUST play 2 (non-bot) games of each Siege, Team Deathmatch, Onslaught, and Ranked to receive all 20. If you receive all 4 rewards daily you will end up with 80 Crystals at the end of the event!
This is the ultimate way to level up your Crossover Pass for gen:LOCK and save up some extra Crystals for the Nightfall Event Pass coming in our Trickshot Update later in September.
