Diamond skydive trail???

I earned diamond at each part of season 25 but don’t have the trail entering season 26. What’s going on?

    Hey PapaPens​,

    Dive trails were removed as ranked rewards back in Season 18, so currently you should be seeing a banner frame alongside the usual badge/holosprays.

    Full notes for that change are here, or see below! 

     

    RANKED REWARD REWORK

    In previous seasons, players achieving Diamond+ ranks would get access to an exclusive season-long Dive Trail.

    We’ve been observing an unintended effect where the presence of a Ranked Dive Trail during the drop would unduly influence where players wanted to land—either strongly avoiding or actively pursuing players with the trail. 

    A reward for being a top player shouldn’t give away valuable information at a critical part of the match, so we’ve made a change to swap the Dive Trail reward with an Epic Banner Frame as the Diamond+ Ranked reward.

    • The Epic Banner Frame lets players flex their hard-earned status at the start of a match and more importantly, every time they take down other players.
    • Badges, Holosprays and Weapon Cosmetics will continue to be rewarded in Ranked as in previous seasons.

    Bummer, I feel like I worked hard for it. Banners and badges are kinda lame, the trail was pretty cool. Also I’m not a fan of the new ranked drop system, makes the game a bit anticlimactic/less appealing.
