The Season 1 Update in Roblox Rivals has officially dropped, and it’s easily the game’s biggest update so far. This update introduces a fully themed battle pass, portal-based weapons, new skins, dimensional maps, and major quality-of-life changes — all wrapped in a brand-new galaxy/portal aesthetic.
If you’re wondering what was added and how it all works, this guide breaks down everything you need to know.
Roblox Rivals Season 1 Battlepass Update Guide – Maps
1. New Season 1 Battlepass
The new Season 1 Battlepass is fully loaded with:
- Brand-new portal-themed weapons
- New skins and wraps
- A Tier 50 premium weapon
- Access to Electropunk skins and the Unstable Warp Stone
Tier 50 Reward: Warp Stone Weapon
The final reward in the pass is the Warp Stone, a powerful new weapon that allows you to place portals and teleport across the map, making it one of the most strategically versatile weapons in the game.
The player in the video purchased the full battle pass instantly, including the season bundle, which unlocks:
- Whooper weapon
- Electropunk Whooper skin
- Access to exclusive wraps and cosmetics
2. New Portal Weapons Overview
Distortion Weapon
- Comes with a black hole ability
- High damage output
- Can interrupt enemy movement and positioning
Warer Weapon
- Features fast firing speed
- Solid choice for close-range combat
- Includes futuristic visual effects
Warp Stone Weapon
- Allows map-wide teleportation
- Portals can be placed in different locations
- Ideal for ambushes, escapes, or objective play
These weapons not only look different — they fundamentally change the way you play. Expect high mobility, unconventional fights, and sudden outplays from players who master portal placement.
3. Dimensional Maps and Environments
The update introduces new maps and arenas built around the portal theme. Some of the features include:
- Multi-layered dimensions (you can fall into lower zones instead of dying)
- Map transitions via portals
- Visuals inspired by sci-fi and space themes
The creator mentioned the new maps feel like an entirely different game. Expect visual upgrades, more complexity, and mechanics that reward spatial awareness.
4. Ranked System Update
Alongside the battle pass, the ranked mode got a new season:
- New rank shop: You can now purchase weapons and skins directly
- Glory currency: Can now be earned from regular gameplay, not just high rank
- Free-to-play skins: Skin cases are now more accessible, giving casual players more chances to collect cosmetics
5. Glorious Skins & Shop Changes
The update includes:
- A wide selection of “Glorious” skins for the new weapons
- A new wrap: Hologram Arena
- Glorious skins are expensive and tied to the Glory currency, which can be earned by playing ranked or using the new rank shop
The player in the video tried to unlock as many glorious skins as possible but eventually ran out of Glory, suggesting that grinding or high placement in ranks will be necessary for full collection.
6. Teleportation and Abilities Explained
Here’s a quick overview of the new portal mechanics:
- You can place two portals with the Warp Stone
- Running through one instantly teleports you to the other
- Some abilities (like the black hole from Distortion) add area control and damage effects
- Portals can trap players, ambush enemies, or escape dangerous fights
Each weapon now has a primary and secondary ability, and mastering them is essential for climbing in ranked or dominating in casual matches.
7. Other Features
Season Themes Introduced: Season 1 is clearly portal-themed. Future seasons are expected to follow other unique gameplay themes.
Portal in Lobby: A mysterious portal exists in the main lobby, though its purpose is still unclear.
Massive Player Surge: The game hit 350,000+ concurrent players, making this one of the most successful updates in Rivals history.
This update feels like a complete game overhaul. From weapon mechanics to map design and ranked progression, Roblox Rivals has taken a huge leap forward in gameplay depth and creativity. Whether you’re here to grind ranks, unlock cosmetics, or explore new strategies, there’s more to do than ever.
