Soul Urn/Update history

Update	Changes
May 25, 2026	Urn drop off point moved from the above bridge in the mid lane to under the bridge in the side lane. Urn timer extension when contested increased from 1.25s to 3s. Urn deposit timers for favored/neutral/unfavored increased from 3/5/10s to 5/10/15s. Urn comeback bullet and spirit resist auras reduced from 50% to 35%. Urn pickup spot is now where the old comeback drop off spots were for when your team is behind. Urn runner no longer has sprint disabled. Urn runner now has max sprint acceleration. Urn runner now gains +2m Sprint, +1 Stamina, +10% Dash Distance and +15% Stamina Regen. Urn runner for the team that is behind now gains an extra +4m Sprint. Urn collision radius increased by 20%. Various smaller urn holding timers and variables adjusted to account for the new location.
May 22, 2026	We are experimenting with an alternate set of Urn mechanics. Please give us your thoughts on this after you've played with it some. Primary Rules: To pickup the Urn, rather than standing in place to channel, you now light or heavy melee the Urn to pick it up. The Urn is now always dropped off on top of the bridge on the middle of the map. Once dropped off, the Urn will go into a "Depositing" phase for a set amount of time, depending on which team the urn favors (3s/5s/10s for Favored/Neutral/Unfavored). While in the Depositing phase, the enemy team can Heavy Melee the urn to have their team claim it and cause it to switch sides. This adds +1.25s to that team's timer. If the urn is Favored or Unfavored (in a comeback state), then the Favored team will get +50% Bullet and Spirit Resist in a 60m radius around the urn while it is being carried, dropped or deposited. Other Details: After 35s (aggregate time held per team), the carrier will start taking 5% Max HP damage per second (previously was 45s and 1.5% Max HP damage). Urn damage is lethal Like before, when the Urn is fumbled, it will wait 13s if there is a player within 25m. However afterwards, with this new version, it can no longer be picked up anymore and will very quickly run back to its spawn position. No longer silences you while carrying. You are still disarmed and movement silenced. No longer grants +30% Bullet and Spirit Resist while carrying it Area around deposting the urn is revealed (urn runner is also revealed as usual) The rules for Favored/Unfavored remain the same (+15% soul difference for the first urn at 10:00, +10% for all future urns) Souls are all instant after the deposit is complete All rewards are the same. The last person to contest the urn gets the +3 Golden Idol buffs, falling back to the original carrier if nobody contested it.

When the Urn is dropped after 90 seconds of pickup time, it starts moving back to its spawn point immediately and cannot be picked up by the same team for 12 seconds. Increased Urn walking speed.
