Apex Legends is changing in earnest and for the long haul
To celebrate the fifth anniversary of the release of their "battle royale" Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment employees presented a new season called Breakout. This is the twentieth addition for the game, and the developers call it the largest in its history. In it users will get acquainted with the Thunderdome location, collectible event and radical gameplay changes - heroes, for example, now pump directly during the match and can't get hull shields as loot. We tell you more about these and other changes.
What to expect from Breakout season in Apex Legends?
To fuel the interest of the participants of each fight, the developers offer a progression system, which operates during the match, and at the start of the next round simply restarts. It is tied to EVO points - you will be able to get them for any activity, whether it's damaging the enemy, reviving or interacting with an object in the environment. Also on the maps randomly appear stashes with pumping points and special mechanisms - collectors. Having found such an object, you will be able to immediately improve your hero.
After the release of the update, that is, from February 8, "battle royale" will stop offering shields as loot. Instead, each legend will have a personal armor, the level of which depends on the level achieved by the character. And the trophies from the fallen enemies will allow to restore the beaten defense. Users will also see their ratings reset to zero - they will have to start climbing to glory all over again. But the calculation of results will be more transparent, in addition to the excitement will contribute to more attractive bonuses for prizes.
In the virtual universe there will be an arena floating in the sky - "Thunderdome". The map turned out to be as compact as possible, but extremely diverse. There are height differences, shelters, and interactive objects, activation of which will give you a tactical advantage. The season will offer rewards to those who will play six selected legends, and will also open access to the "Fifth Anniversary" event, where gamers will receive prizes created by the community, not the developers.
