In subsequent weeks, Game Changers will also be able to unlock new and exclusive rewards to The W Online, including Team Takeover Boosts.

- Helping Hand - Gift a percentage of your takeover actions to a teammate who needs help filling their bucket
- Accelerator - Fill the takeover meter faster
- Extender - This useful boost extends the duration a takeover is active
- Resilience - Minimizes the effect of a negative action that would otherwise cause the meter to decrease
