Old Men Fighting: New Character and Apex Legends Season

According to the developers of "battle royal" Apex Legends, from May 9 in the game will start the season "Arsenal", and also will appear a fighter with the call sign Ballistic. His motivations are outlined in a new video from the Outer Lands Stories series. He is a retired hero who has decided to remember his youth and take up arms in order to return to fighting for survival. However, the decision was difficult for him - he would never have taken up his old job if it were not for one thing.

Ballistics' brightest days were behind him. August Brinkman had once inherited his parents' fortune, but he used the money not for good causes, but to buy weapons and engage in risky activities. Wanting to tickle his nerves, he signed up for the Thunderdome tournament, the name of the forerunner of the Apex Games. The public remembered the young millionaire, who ruthlessly dealt with his opponents. However, during one of the competitions, an irreparable thing happened: Brinkman caused the death of his brother-in-law, Keith Sian. Since then, the hero's life has gone downhill, his wife left him with a child, and August abandoned the shootings and locked himself away in his estate.

The voluntary retirement lasted for years, until one day Ballistic found out that his grown son wanted to enter the arena. Augustus then appealed to the Syndicate to take his son's place-and the organizers of the Games agreed to such a replacement. In addition to the new hero in the Arsenal season, users will enjoy an improved shooting range, weapons skill tests, an updated Edge of Light, and a battle pass with rewards.
