Paladins Patch Notes: Update 2.40
Here are the official patch notes for Paladins Update 2.40 that is now rolling out to all the supported platforms of the game:
No expense is spared to be the best of the best. She may work for money, but she makes her money work for her — with the latest equipment to complement her skills. You may try to take cover, but not even solid cover can save you from Saati, the Trickshot.
To you, a coinflip is a gamble. For her, it’s an opportunity. If you hear that she’s after your bounty, you might as well stop running and meet her face to face — either way, it only delays her next night out. The biggest marks yet still walk the Realm, and those big bounties will fund a LOT of carousal.

STONE KEEP MAP UPDATE: DAY & NIGHT
Developer Commentary:
With this map rework we wanted to accomplish two main goals. 1. We wanted the color scheme and architecture design to very obviously reflect that Stone Keep is a Magistrate City. And 2. We wanted to use this rework to introduce a much more urban environment, something we’ve never really put into Paladins before. We wanted this map to feel more like a bustling medieval metropolis, and we expanded on the skybox to reinforce that. The sheer cliff drop is gone, replaced by a wide swath of additional city buildings across a broad canal.
We intended the map to feel more like a small piece of a much larger world instead of a castle sitting alone atop a hill. As for the lighting, we’ve wanted to test multiple lighting scenarios on maps for some time, and this seemed like a good place to start. Thanks to the city setting we were able to integrate many sources of artificial light into the visual design so we could continue to highlight important routes and landmarks in the dark. We’re very excited to see how both versions of this updated map are received and we hope you enjoy playing.
GENERAL UPDATES
Developer Commentary:
Some of our systems weren’t working as well as we’d hoped, so this patch we put some time into making things better. The Bounty Store should be more functional. Some unintentionally blacklisted words have been un-blacklisted. And Champion Mastery should be giving the correct rewards.
Bounty Store
- As of our upcoming Hotfix, Daily Quests should once again award Bounty Coins (increased from previous store to 30 – normal, and 60 – hard)
- Players will now have opportunities to earn additional Bounty Coins in the Event Pass and Trials of the Realm.
- Keep your eyes peeled for a new Dredge skin only available via the Bounty Store!
- In addition, we’re bringing back limited quantities, and adding Boosters as another way of spending those hard-earned coins.
Free Rewards
- We’re increasing the number of rewards that can be claimed per day from 5 to 35 for players in regions where ads are available. We’ll continue to monitor this system and make adjustments.
Prohibited Words Blacklist
- We’ve made some adjustments here. Players can now type Cassie without getting asterisked out!
Update on Champion Mastery Rewards
- With regards to reports that masteries weren’t correctly awarding the expected rewards–we believe this has been fixed.
If players are still experiencing this issue, please let us know and we’ll try to get it sorted out.
Player account name will be useful in tracking down any further problems
