There is already a new character coming out in Rogue Company. It only feels like yesterday that players were able to get their hands on Runway. Well, the team at First Watch Games are not holding back. They’re giving people more characters to play with, only making the meta much more interesting to delve into.
There is going to be an upcoming PTS for the weekend of September 18, 2021. This will include the new Cannon Rogue along with some upcoming weapon and gadget balances. Here are the patch notes.
