Paragon HDR support arrives tomorrow with v.37.2

Paragon’s v.37.2 patch drops on 14 February and there are some visual enhancements incoming.

Epic ahs been working with Nvidia to bring Ansel and HDR support to the PC version which will enable hi-res 360 shots. Assuming you have the a monitor with HDR then you can benefit from the changes.

Banners are not quite ready to go live, according to Epic they were due to arrive with this update but bugs have pushed them back. Loot crate content and has been updated (see notes) and keys will be “awarded randomly after any match”.

No major balancing changes in this path but the latest hero Aurora has received some more polish.
