There are also a new item called shadow stones, which when consumed turn your into a sort of ghost -- you move faster, jump higher, can pass through walls, and turn invisible when you stand still -- but you can't use your normal weapons.
For players interested in grabbing new costumes and pets, the new Season 6 battle pass is now available, which unlocks the items as players play more and unlock new levels.
Some of the costumes include a headless horseman look, a werewolf, a Van Helsing-type getup, and a funny inflatable llama.
The three new pets are a dog, chameleon, and dragon, and you can unlock them in different colors as you level up through the battle pass.
In addition to these new features, more technical updates include newly introduced custom controller bindings for console players and the disappearance to some items including the suppressed sub-machine gun, light machine guns, impulse grenades, remote explosives, and bouncers.
