What Operation Split Fire brought
From Ubisoft's official Operation Split Fire season page:
- Noor — a new Defender built to counter shield operators; his Horus Lance Launcher fires projectiles that pierce shields and destructible surfaces before erupting into flames.
- Legend Division — a SoloQ-only Ranked playlist for eligible top players, which Ubisoft says opens mid-season.
- Villa targeted map update — the basement and garage were redesigned, and the Living Room / Library bomb site moved downstairs.
- Balance changes — to operators and weapons at launch, followed by the Y11S3.1 patch on September 22, 2026.
How to spend the time left this season
Season resets compress your MMR toward the middle — the players who climb fastest after a reset are the ones who fixed their fundamentals before it. Two honest suggestions:
- Learn the ranked pool properly: site-by-site strats for every ranked map. Bank and Coastline are free; the rest of the pool is in Pro.
- Find out what actually costs you rounds: drop a screenshot for an AI breakdown, or browse the operator index and live meta board.
