[DO] Actually when we started this map update, we started before Olympus even came out. So a lot of this was a design call of confidence, asking ‘where do we think we need to improve on Olympus before this ships?’ We noticed early on that fewer people were dropping their Orbital Sannon and Solar, just because it was further away from the rest of the map. We have two Tridents over there and we had a balloon, we thought that’d be enough to get people to want to drop there and then come out to the centre of the map. But it still was not getting as much traffic as we wanted, and that actually backed up our intuition. So placing something a lot more beefy down there that can draw more attention to your eye and make you more accessible to bigger loot seemed like a good idea from our perspective. So we’re happy that we chose that locat

Sometimes, it’s longevity – not damage output – that makes a Legend just as deadly as the champions that come before them. And with Revenant’s Death Totem , his squad immediately gets the upper hand by toying with life itself. When activated, Revenant and his teammates can transform into shadows for up to 30 seconds each. This essentially acts as a second l

Let’s face it, there are few weapons that the fan-favorite R-99 doesn’t pair decently with to some degree. Yet, the burst-firing Hemlok makes a particularly solid match with the close-range SMG, which unloads at close ra

Any loyal Gibraltar player knows that the guy has style. Even though he is covered in layers of bulky armor, he carries himself in a way that tells fans he knows how effortlessly cool he is. This has led to many fans theorizing that Gibraltar’s out-of-game style might be, making way for some hilarious resu

Pair with other grenades: Despite the damage Rolling Thunder offers, it’s not extremely effective due to its lag time. The six-second activation gives enemies room to hide. In turn, it’s ideal for players to throw in some explosives to finish off enemies hiding behind co

As a hero-based battle royale, Apex Legends has Legends that give players the opportunity to have an offensive, defensive, or supportive role in every match. Technically speaking, each Legend in the Respawn battle royale offers unique Tactical Skills that define their unique role throughout the squad. Of course, using these Tacticals efficiently can secure the advantage for the team. However, a Legend’s Ultimate Skills can also eliminate entire squads quickly if used prope

Players who use Loba or Revenant as their main already know the dark remarks Revenant can make about killing Loba’s parents. For something (he is a synthetic robot after all) that has no time for other legends joking about, he really finds sadistic pleasure in taunting Loba who already has a dark history with Reven

As the name implies, Ultimate Skills need time to recharge but almost always triggers an awesome effect. These come in the form of deadly ordinances, quick mobility perks, or other utility skills that can define a difference in the match. However, just which Apex Legends Updates Legends Ultimates serve as the game’s deadlie

However, as any gamer knows there are never any guarantees despite how things seem. Even if the gamer is playing as Gibraltar and using his defense abilities effectively, there is still every chance that other enemies can break the shields and take them d

[DK] Wait until you play her! Pathfinder is back, isn’t he? We took Low Profile off him, he’s fine. Give him a try. Yeah, Lifeline was just boring, right? Here’s a Legend, literally all of her power is in reviving teammates, and her Tactical and Ultimate may as well be fart buttons, right? Doesn’t do anything. That’s not good game design, that offends me on a spiritual level. So I was very adamant that we had to go in there and fix it. Honestly, play with the new Ultimate a little bit. It feels really good. Even if you drop late, everyone on your team is gonna have some pretty nice g

[Dave Osei] I can say from the design perspective, we wanted to try something different for map updates. We had a trend earlier of just destroying maps for a map update, a Harvester coming down on World’s Edge and creating a lava crack, just dropping Skull Town off the map in Kings Canyon. So for Olympus, we wanted to go outside our box and try something new, adding something to my map, rather than taking away from the map or destroying an area. So this Infestation gives us another tool in our toolbox of how to change how we do map updates in the fut

It’s a pretty great complement to the Spitfire, which has a more traditional nature of spraying bullets from mid and close range. Look at the Sentinel as the initiator, while the Spitfire can decidedly finish the job. Players can really cover all their bases with these two guns, and be a DPS monster to b

Whilst playing as Revenant, fans of the game can feel his irritation at other team members. Even though he does have quips of his own, his are cold and dismissive to other legends. The only time his quips sound slightly amused is if he is referring to death or killing enemies which are bone-chilling compared to the more playful legends. However, his sadistic personality is more noticeable when he is around L
