Paladins has a new patch – OB 50. In this you can expect new skins and a chest full of Nerf guns. There are also announcer packs and some exciting adjustments to the champs. We have the highlights.
Paladins is getting a new patch, OB50. This is packed with new skins for the champs and their weapons. The interface is being revamped, as are some champions. Especially fans of Androxus and Inara can look forward to their adjustments. Otherwise, there are a few bug fixes.
New Skins for Evie, Sha Lin, and Buck
With the skins, Paladins continues to upgrade significantly. Overall, there are three new legendary skins for Evie, Sha Lin, and Buck.
- Starshine Evie: Evie is going funky. Her new skin is in bright neon colors and reminiscent of a roller skate girl from the 80s.
- Buck’s Rage: Buck becomes a professional wrestler with his new skin complete with impressive chest hair. This skin also includes a new emote and an MVP pose.
- Superhero Sha Lin: Sha Lin receives two skins, fitting the superhero theme – with cape and mask.
- Nova-Strike Kinessa: Kinessa’s quest-skin “Nova-Strike” will no longer be available from patch OB 50. Ongoing quests may still be completed.
Rekt-Chest: A chest full of Nerf guns
In the Rekt-Chest, you will find weapons designed in the style of Nerf guns: bright orange with foam projectiles. If you hit your opponents with the projectiles, a dull sound will resonate.
There are Nerf guns for:
- Androxus
- Barik
- Cassie
- Grover
- Kinessa
- Sha Lin
- Tyra
- Viktor
Announcer Packs: Evie and Bomb King become announcers in OB50
Players can purchase announcer packs with OB50. If you equip these, corresponding champions will announce in-game. There are packs for:
- Evie
- Bomb King
- Rory: Not a champ in the classical sense – Rory is the lead designer of Paladins. He is better known in the community as “DryBear”. This announcer pack can be purchased for 1 gold.
Champions – Strong buffs for Androxus and Inara
Androxus and Inara players can rejoice. Their buffs will make both significantly stronger. Drogoz has also received a revamp that could give him a boost on the tier list.
- Androxus: Shots will no longer pass through Androxus’ “Reversal” when he walks backward. This may sound like a small thing at first, but it is a strong adjustment. This allows Androxus to be played a bit more cautiously and to back away. Otherwise, he is more of an “all or nothing” champion. A change in Androxus’ gameplay might be impending.
- Inara: Inara’s legendary card “Mother Earth” will receive a debuff immunity. This could finally make the tank lady a bit more robust. Inara has been suffering since her release from being too quickly eliminated for a tank. She has never really been in the meta, even though she has a versatile kit. Furthermore: Inara’s “Dead End”, the stone wall, can now be placed further away and gives opponents a “knock-up”. The further away opponents stand, the less damage Inara’s spear will deal from OB50.
- Drogoz: The greedy dragon has received a lag fix for his rocket launcher. An indirect buff. The Bomb King received a similar fix a few patches ago. The fix ensured that his stickies counted as direct hits, regardless of radius. Thus, the Bomb King stormed through Paladins and has been at the top of the tier list ever since. Something similar could now happen with Drogoz.
- Buck: Buck receives a nerf and his health is reduced from 3000 to 2800 HP.
Patch OB 50 is currently on the test server. Otherwise, the interface was revamped and a few bugs were fixed. You can find the complete patch notes in our source.
