New Weapons & Melee Leaks
One of the biggest surprises in V26 is the appearance of entirely new weapon types, not just skins.
Butterfly Knife (RGX-style)
A curved butterfly knife was spotted in leaked images. Unlike the original RGX butterfly knife with a straight blade, this version appears redesigned. It could be a tweaked re-release, a brand-new variant, or even content tied to VCT 2026.
Brand-New Pistol : Bandit
Leaks strongly suggest that the new pistol is a completely new weapon, not a cosmetic. Initial information suggests a three-round burst firing mode, which could significantly alter eco-round dynamics.
- Brand-New Dual Blade Melee（New Bundle AYAKASHI）
The new bundle melee is a Dual Blade Melee (Japanese Style).
V26 Act 1 Battle Pass Skins
RGX-style Theme
Montage Theme
Axe Melee
These designs appear more stylized than standard Battle Pass skins, making V26’s pass potentially more appealing than usual.
New Premium Skin Bundle
A brand-new premium effects bundle was briefly shown during an official electronic music event.
Weapons may include:
Confirmed weapon: Phantom
Other likely weapons: Guardian, Judge, and possibly more
One weapon appears to feature dual barrels, while another clearly matches the Judge’s core structure. Overall, this bundle looks like a full-tier premium collection with unique animations and effects, unlike anything recently released.
Breeze Map: Full Rework Incoming
V26 doesn’t just bring cosmetics—it delivers a complete Breeze overhaul, not minor tweaks.
Major Changes Include:
B Site right wall extended
New stacked boxes added to B Site
Attacker-side left path from spawn closed
The mid attacker box rotated diagonally
Upper-right mid exit widened
Multiple stones removed from mid
The mid lane is significantly narrowed
Expanded space between A Site pyramids
Larger top-mid window
Adjusted box placements near double doors
Wider drop-down areas
Doors angled more diagonally

This is a full structural redesign, aimed at improving flow, reducing long sightline dominance, and making Breeze more competitive-friendly. Hope guys can enjoy shooting in the Breeze in the future.
