New limited-time events

The John Wick spin-off movie Ballerina is this season’s collab for season four, and its event will be how players can unlock the Essex Model 07 marksman rifle and add it to their collections. The movie’s main character, Eve Mecarro (played by Ana de Armas), will join the game as part of an operator bundle.

Other events, including Rivals and King of the Dead will also offer unique rewards in June.

Sweaty gamers, there’s a whole new list of items to unlock as part of season four in Ranked Play, including new calling cards, charms, a large decal, and an exclusive weapon blueprint as you climb the ranks. If you’re ready to sweat it out, there are good reasons for you to play each season.
