New Warden:

The Farewell Tour patch for Highguard has introduced Koldo, a brand-new Warden in the game, and he contains the following abilities that players must know of

New Weapon: The Switchback:

• The Switchback brings unparalleled versatility, comfortably handling both close-range and long-range encounters.
• When used in hipfire, it’s a shotgun. Aiming down the sights will transition the weapon into a marksman rifle.
• The name “Switchback” originates from its unique double-barrel design.
• Players will be able to rapidly shoot twice before needing a rechamber, though they also can pace their shots to keep up a continuous stream of fire.
• In the field, many Wardens have sought to wield the Switchback. Only a few have truly learned to master it.
• The Switchback also contains two gold versions known as Basebreaker and Repeater that can be found in the loot chests or with Trader Flynn.
