Brace yourselves for the arrival of the “Sphere”. [h2][b]The Sphere is Here[/b][/h2] A monumental structure now looms above the battlefield. The Sphere has materialized in the skies, casting a shadow on the land below it. Its presence is both awe-inspiring and foreboding. The Sphere's mere presence has altered our capture point system on various layers, in addition to bringing a multitude of other changes to Squad.

Squaddies must sit unsheltered within the Sphere’s presence for its effects to take place. [list][*] The Sphere is capable of giving life to those who are incapacitated under the Sphere’s shadow. Squaddies will be resuscitated as if a bandage was used after 90 seconds. You will be healed to full over 10 seconds after resuscitation. [*] The Sphere is capable of taking life. Friendly fire on those in the shadow will be returned to the soldier dealing damage. If a friendly takes lethal friendly fire damage you will find yourself instantly incapacitated. [*] The Sphere is capable of providing energy. Stamina consumption is 50% lower within the Sphere’s shadow and you regain stamina 25% faster. [*] The Sphere is capable of aiding the dispensing of freedom. Rifleman ammo bags will now refill at 1 ammo per second after 30 seconds of sitting in the Sphere’s shadow. [*] The Sphere is capable of protection. Vehicles and their armaments cannot enter where the shadow lies. Handheld armaments however, can. [*] The Sphere is capable of providing intel. Those who are within the shadow will be able to hear all communications regardless of team. [/list][h2][b]Emotes & Gestures[/b][/h2] [list][*] Added “Praise the Sphere” emote.
