Powerups, also called Bridge Buffs or Runes, are temporary buffs represented by stones on bridges near the
Soul Urn spawn and delivery locations. Two appear at 5:00 and every five minutes thereafter. A heavy melee claims one; the
minimap icon identifies its type. An uncollected powerup is replaced at the next interval. The first pair is random, and at 10:00 the other two types are guaranteed; the source treats any fixed bridge ordering as uncertain.
Effects
Effects scale from the 5-minute to the 40-minute values below and last 160 seconds. Values are temporary, do not appear in the normal stat display and are lost on
death or removal by
Cursed Relic. The HUD lists active effects at the left and their duration above the soul count; other players’ icons appear under their
health bars.
| Type | At 5 minutes | At 40 minutes |

| Casting | +15 |

| Gun | +12% |

The November 21, 2025 update says the Gun buff also reloads ammunition when collected.
