Digital Extremes has released the latest entry in the prestigious Heirloom series, featuring a design rooted in community concepts. This isn't just a simple skin; the collection is a comprehensive overhaul for Vauban's aesthetic, including the Heirloom Skin, a unique Signa, a dedicated Color Palette, and other commemorative items like a Prex Card and Sigil. For players who prefer using their earned currency, the Valkyr Heirloom Collection has now transitioned to a Platinum-only purchase option to make room for this new arrival.
While the fashion-frame implications are massive, the real news for long-time Tenno is the announcement of a Vauban "retouch." The developers have confirmed that Vauban is slated for a light ability pass aimed at consolidating and simplifying his kit. As any Vauban main knows, his current state can feel a bit cluttered with legacy mechanics that don't always keep up with the modern speed of the game. Digital Extremes intends to lean harder into his identity as a tactical crowd-controller while trimming the fat from his power set.
We don't have the full mechanical breakdown yet, but a Dev Workshop is expected soon to detail exactly how these changes will affect his Minelayer and Bastion synergies. If you've been waiting for a reason to dust off your Booben and head back into high-level defense missions, this cosmetic and mechanical refresh is the perfect excuse. You can pick up the collection now through the in-game market or via local currency bundles.
