- ♦Shield Flopper
- ♦Jelly Flopper
- ♦Hop Flopper

There is no word yet on how these new items will shake up the battle royale title. Though guesses can be made based on the titles. Shield Flopper will obviously provide some amount of shield when used.
Hop Flopper can increase your jump height in a short amount of time. While Thermal or Fire Floppers can hold back or deal damage over time with new fire spread mechanics in 3 season.
