Breaking from previous season naming conventions, "Wanted" dives straight into the action. The season kicks off February 21st and includes a thrilling collaboration with Mortal Kombat. Sub-Zero will be a featured Battle Pass skin, perfectly complementing the season's robbery theme.

This crossover coincides with the marketing campaign for Mortal Kombat 2, the upcoming film starring Karl Urban and Adeline Rudolph.

Skins will be available for purchase using V-Bucks, priced at the standard 1,500 V-Bucks each.

Returning weaponry includes the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. While other weapons are yet to be confirmed, speculation based on Chapter 4 Season 4's heist theme suggests the possible return of the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler. These remain unconfirmed at this time.

A significant addition is the Smart Building feature, anticipating your building needs based on your aiming direction.

Gameplay mechanics receive an update as well, replacing keycards with vault breaches. Players will require Meltanite, a thermite-like substance, to access and claim rewards from these vaults.
