Quake Champions gets a new update of around 3.8gb, so it adds Slipgate mode and a new champion for the game, an ultra-mobile Quake 2-inspired champion called Athena, and an Arcade, which will host matches with wacky rule sets that rotate every week.
New Champion
Athena’s calling card is her grappling hook, which makes her the most agile character in the game. When hooked onto a surface, you can press and hold ‘F’ to start swinging from it, which gives you lots of options for getting around aerially. You can just zoom straight to the hook without swinging if you like, which will be very useful on the ground for getting to power-ups ahead of enemies.
Champions Pack
If you don’t own the game’s Champions Pack then you’ll have to pay to unlock Athena—or, you could hope that the community collectively plays one million rounds of the new Slipgate mode before the end of the month, at which point she’ll unlock for free for everybody (and existing owners will get a bonus skin).
Slipgate Mode
Mode is an attack vs defense mode that sees two teams battle over a Slipgate portal. Everybody spawns with all weapons, full health and full armour, but just a single life. It’s the defending team’s job to protect the portal, allowing a tentacled demon to be summoned, while the attacking team tries to destroy it before the beast arrives.
