Weapons now level up to **Level 60**, with **25 unlockable Talents** offering boosts to **special, active, and passive abilities**. Players can equip a **sub-weapon**, which gains **equal XP** alongside the primary weapon, providing a new layer of strategy.

### **Seasonal Hunt Pass**

The new **Hunt Pass** includes both **free and premium tracks**, rewarding Slayers with Weapon Tokens, exclusive cosmetics, and more. This season marks the start of a revamped progression system tailored to deliver meaningful rewards and experiences.

### **Community-Driven Evolution**

The *Awakening* update is the culmination of **player feedback and closed beta insights**, creating a richer experience for veterans and newcomers alike.
