In Paladins Patch OB 51, the new champion Ash joins the MOBA shooter. Ash is a tank lady who smashes everything in her way. The Colossal Chest is being removed from the game, and new chests are coming. We have the patch highlights for you.
Paladins continues its goal and brings new champions to the MOBA shooter at a fast pace. With the new Patch OB 51, we are welcoming another lady to the front alongside Inara. Ash is the new tank and bears the title “War Machine”.
More and more special skins are making their way to Paladins: This time, Pip and Barrik are getting a new look. For the first time, there will be a skin for your horse that you can purchase directly. Previously, this was only possible through special chests or events. In OB 51, the Colossal Chest is being removed and replaced by two new chests: the Weapon Chest and the Champion Skin Chest.
There are also a few adjustments to the interface and some champions have also been reworked.
Paladins OB51: New Champion Ash Enters the Arena – Throws All Enemies Out
Ash is Paladins’ new tank and she is called the War Machine. She is a knight who smashes everything in her way with her flak cannon. With the flak cannon, Ash fires spiky spheres that explode at mid-range and deal area damage. She can trigger a kinetic explosion with the spheres that knocks enemies back.
Ash is ready to show full body commitment. If necessary, the knight charges forward at her enemies and rams them back with her shoulder. Upon impact, Ash deals heavy direct damage. When Ash plants her flag in the ground, she uses her ultimate skill “Show Dominance”. Around the flag, Ash creates a zone in which she cannot take damage. Enemies take damage when the flag strikes the ground.
Ash is ideal for capturing control points and spreading enemies apart. Everything you need to know about the knight can be found here:

New Skins for Pip, Barrik, and the Loyal Mount
There are new cosmetic items for Pip and Barrik that you can unlock in the shop. There is also a new skin for your horse.
Pandamonium Pip
Pip is changing his fur and gets a cute curly tail. The skin is available for direct purchase for 200 crystals in the shop. The skin includes head and body.
Stonecut-Barrik
Barrik turns completely to stone and gets an icy gaze. The skin is available for direct purchase in the shop for 250 crystals. The skin includes head, body, and weapon.
Scarlet Warhorse
For the first time, there is a skin for the mount that you can obtain as a direct purchase in the shop. The horse gets a scarlet armor and costs 400 crystals.
Rewards for Champion Mastery Levels
Players will now receive rewards for reaching mastery levels. You receive the rewards upon reaching a certain level, and they consist of skins, sprays, gold, chests, and emotes. In Paladins, players can earn mastery levels for champions if they perform well with the character.
From Patch OB 51 onwards, rewards are available for the following champions:
- Drogoz
- Lex
- Maeve
- Makoa
- Tyra
- Viktor
Rewards for the remaining champions will be added gradually.
Paladins Receives Weapon Chest & Champion Skin Chest – Colossal Chest Disappears
The Colossal Chest previously gave players particularly valuable cosmetic items. In Paladins, you can wildly combine skin parts and give your character a unique look. From the Colossal Chest, you could draw individual skin parts. Therefore, it could take ages for players to receive a complete skin set. This will change in OB 51.
The Colossal Chest is being removed from the game. In its place, the Champion Skin Chests and Weapon Chest are coming. In the Champion Skin Chest, you now receive complete skin sets. The Weapon Chest exclusively contains weapon skins.
Further Adjustments in OB51
- Some champions received adjustments, nerfs, and buffs. For example, the last champion, the fairy Willo, received a buff and is now somewhat tougher.
- A few bugs were fixed, including an annoying audio bug.
- The interface has been optimized, and “Auto-Buy” can now be turned off directly in the item shop during a match.
Patch OB 51 will initially come to PC. When exactly it will arrive on PS4 and Xbox One is not yet known. The full patch notes can be found in our sources.
