Season one’s winning teams will appear on the Spawn Island of their respective server and modes (Season two registration starts at 0:00 UTC on 18 DEC 2018), players’ best results in Crew Challenge will now be shown on their Crew pages and can be shared with other players.
Other than that, there’s also added cross-server matchmaking which after enabling, players have a chance to be matched to players of the same tier on other servers. As for players that repeatedly exit matches right after starting will now be banned from finding matches for a period of time. Players are also allowed to report suspicious behavior while spectating after dying in the game.
