Olympus is going to get a major overhaul, but possibly the biggest and most exciting addition to the new season is the Arenas mode , which will see 3v3 PVP matches where players can hone their abilities and weapons without the threat of being third-partied. If you want to know more about the team’s decisions behind new content and map changes, or want to know why Lifeline’s abilities have been redesigned , then all of those answers and more are available be

[DK] I absolutely expect that there’ll be follow up balance changes, but we have simple ways to balance the cost of abilities, such as how many you get for free and how often you can use your ultimate, that are Arenas specific. We’ve had to make some small changes to some abilities to make them make sense in Arenas, like Valkyrie doesn’t go all the way up [when using her Ultimate], because the map isn’t big enough for that. But in terms of balance, we tried to achieve the same balance state between Arenas and Battle Royale. Again, we’ve got lots of plans of what to do if something is on fire, or if something else becomes a problem, but right now, I honestly don’t think anyone in the world knows what’s going to happen. We have our data collection set up and we’re ready to react to it. I hope we’ll be in a world where there’ll be a small spectrum of power that Legends can have between Battle Royale and Arenas. I’d never want to be in a world where someone says; ‘never pick Crypto in Arenas because he’s useless,’ or ‘you can only bring Rampart in Arenas because she doesn’t do anything in the Battle Royale,’ right? That I would step in and fix, but small things like, ‘Oh, this guy does a lot better in Arenas.’ And cool, that’s f

Information on demand is vital to any team on a map such as Olympus, and knowing the locations of nearby enemies is vital. Knowing enemy locations will aid players in avoiding potential ambushes or third parties. Seer’s passive has incredible potential for scouting out enemies, but players need to be cautious, as it is audible to enemy play

Valkyrie is the latest hero to join the Apex Legends roster and on first impressions, she seems way, way overpowered. However, after using her a couple of times in Arena, it becomes clear that she’s quite easy to deal with when you’re facing her down. Before I get into the nitty-gritty, here’s what she’s capable

Of course, given the loot-focused nature of Eye For Quality, it’s not necessarily the “best” Passive to master. For beginners, the Eye’s lack of combat potential won’t make it any more impactful to their performa

Bloodhound’s ability to see enemy tracks is a huge boost in Olympus too, as the wide-open spaces often force teams to come out of hiding and trek across open land. Bloodhound can see exactly where enemy teams left with their White Raven and can help the team decide to avoid or engage in situations. Bloodhound’s ultimate lets them move faster, see their enemies in red, and Naldobenny.Com use their tactical much more often over the duration – it’s handy, but the highlight is Bloodhound’s command of the information g

Apex Legends Season 9: Legacy and the brand new Legend Valkyrie are making their debut in the Apex Games on May 4, and we’ve sat down with the team at Respawn Entertainment to get some details on what we can expect to see from the new sea

[Ashley Reed] Well, that is something I think we want you to explore in the story, so I don’t want to give any spoilers on that. Hey, it’s so much better if you experience it in the game – way better. But yeah, we’re definitely folding some existing characters, characters with connections to the legacy of Respawn the legacy of Titanfall into Apex, and we always love exploring, like: ‘okay, if we introduce this element, what does that do? How does that affect characters who are connected to it? How do they feel about it? How do they confront that?’ That’s our bread and butter. That’s the stuff we really like digging into and really like exploring, so we hope the fans feel similarly when they get to experience Arenas themsel

The downside to all of this is that the Bocek Bow fires fairly slowly, comparable to the Sentinel sniper rifle – which is exactly why both of those weapons are now able to use the Deadeye’s Tempo hop-up. Interestingly, the Bocek Bow is the first weapon in the game that can equip two hop-ups at the same time, making it potentially very powerful in a variety of situations. Here’s what you need to know about both of those hop-

Olympus is a gigantic map with lots of dense areas of buildings spread out across the map. Between these dense areas are wide-open spaces, which makes use of the Olympus-only Trident vehicles a must for any player who wants to traverse the terrain quickly. Legends who can take advantage of the densely packed loot areas or who can effectively navigate the lush terrain thrive on Olympus, as well as champions who work effectively at middle-to-long distan
