A major highlight is the collaboration with Mortal Kombat, bringing Sub-Zero into the Battle Pass, perfectly complementing the season's theme. This tie-in coincides with the marketing push for Mortal Kombat 2, the upcoming film.
Skins will be available for purchase using V-Bucks, priced at 1,500 V-Bucks each.

Returning weaponry includes the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. Speculation abounds regarding the potential return of other items from previous heist-themed seasons, such as the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler, though these remain unconfirmed.
A significant gameplay addition is "Smart Building," a feature that anticipates your building needs based on your aiming direction. The heist theme also introduces a revamped vault-opening mechanic, replacing keycards with vault breaches requiring Meltanite (a thermite-like substance) to access rewards.
