A Rivalry Begins

A RIVALRY BEGINS
It's Heist season for the good guys! After going rogue, Agents Edwards and Steel are targeting several secret vaults holding stolen police cars. Agent Steel wants to go in loud and fast. Agent Edwards opts for a methodical infiltration and a clean getaway. Each thinks the other's approach will fail. What started as an alliance has become a rivalry.
You will now be able to team up with Agent Edwards or Agent Steel to collaborate and collect 12 new Prize Cars!
UPDATE
A concise yet no less important addition to Rivals Prize Cars. As well as the Heist ones mentioned below, more cars are waiting for you!
Agent Edwards is offering the Legendary Bentley Batur and Ultra Rare Land Rover Defender 110 P425. Meanwhile, Agent Steel brings you the Legendary Rezvani Beast X and the Chrysler 300 SRT-8!
Note: Players who already own the Rezvani Beast X will be awarded a 90+ Legendary pack instead.

Unique about this season - two collections will be available at the same time, one for Agent Edwards and one for Agent Steel.
Players can choose to pursue both collections (challenging) or focus on one for the duration of the season.
NEW - Rivals Team & Individual Leaderboards
Players will be working in teams to collect as much “Intel” as possible from Events, Challenges, and Objectives to help their team earn team rewards!
Note! You will be competing on both the Rivals Team and Individual Leaderboards. Rivalry isn’t just between teams - it’s within your own team, too! Players will be ranked within their own team and will earn rewards based on their individual performance. The more Intel you collect, the more competitive you are, the higher you’ll climb!
At the start of the season, you will be randomly assigned to Team Edwards or Team Steel.
The Team with the most Intel collected by the end of the season will win the Super Rare - Ford F-150 Police Responder Pickup, new Gold Rivals Avatar, and more!
The 2nd Place Team will also walk away with a new Silver Rivals Avatar and additional rewards for participation.
Players will also be competing for individual rewards, regardless of Team.
Top 7.5% of all participating players will win the Epic - Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Carabinieri!
24 hours after the Rivals Leaderboards close, point totals for Teams and Individuals will be finalised, and prizes will be awarded to all participating players.
Players will be able to view Team & Individual Rewards during the calculation phase, but the tier the player is in during this period may not be accurate until scores are finalised.
