- New Enemies: The new enemies include Missilehead, whose main mechanic is to launch volleys of projectiles at players
- New Weapon: The Accelerator, a new burst-fire SMG that can be shot while sprinting
- New Upgrades: We’re going to see new Turbocharge upgrades, which grant Exotics new abilities, including stat boosts and new behaviors, in exchange for Strange Components. The ones listed in the Steam dev blog are: Lead Flinger, Trident, Plate Launcher, Wrangler, Bruiser, Scrapper, and Glider.
- New Mode: Paid Time Off is a new mode that drops players into New Atlas and allows them to complete random objectives for as long as they wish. However, the longer players spend in the mode, the more difficult enemies become. This new mode also features objectives from previous missions as well as some new objectives.
