King's Canyon is the oldest map in Apex Legends and has had quite the resurgence in popularity in the community after fans have mostly turned on Worlds Edge. While most of the map is contained (as the name might suggest) in various canyons, the areas themselves are complex and huge. Enemy squads can see combat from miles away and will ambush out of absolutely nowhere. The open layout of this map benefits legends who can keep the squad alive long enough to outlast their attack

Bloodhound is an all-around great legend who beats out Crypto on Olympus for its lack of verticality and more focus on flat-area fights. On a map like World's Edge having the height and sight advantage is a huge deal, but on Olympus being able to see what's ahead of the team is more important than what's below or above. Bloodhound's tactical Eye Of The Allfather reveals enemies and traps in front of Bloodhound for a very long distance and can be used while running or in com

With many defeats, there will come a time where victory graces every gamer. Arguably, no victories are more satisfying than when gamers pull off a bamboozle that leads to an enemy's demise. Nothing quite describes the unadulterated joy that comes with pulling it off and successful bamboozles are still a high point for players in the g

As the name implies, King's Canyon is home to a lot of canyons – and that means a lot of tall cliffs walling players into chokepoints. With Valkyrie's Ult, you can leap above most of these tall stone walls and navigate around the map much eas

Apex Legends Season 9: Legacy is just around the corner, and now we finally have full patch notes for the big update that will land on May 4 from EA and Respawn . This update is going to change a number of things about the game, introducing brand new modes, a new Legend, a new weapon, and dozens of balance changes across the cast and armo

Despite her appearance as a front-line fighter, Bangalore is actually a very evasive and even stealthy legend to play. King's Canyon is a map that favors squads who can make use of the high visibility, but Bangalore's tactical Smoke Launcher is a great way to trick enemies and block their line of sight. Bangalore's smoke can be used to dupe an enemy into thinking that an assault is coming from a different angle than actually intended, in addition to its defensive u

We’ve collated all the big changes and linked to extra information about each in this guide, and you can see the full list of changes for yourself on EA’s site . Just scroll down below for all of the important points, and get ready to jump into Arenas on May 4. Below is a breakdown for patch 1.

The Arenas mode has a closing ring, just like the Battle Royale mode, and controlling where the ring will close gives you a massive advantage. If you can lock down where the ring closes with area control Legends , like Rampart , Wattson , and Caustic , and you can get the upperhand pretty easily. But of course, that assumes you get into where the ring is closing fi

Apex Legends differs from other battle royales like Fortnite and Warzone for two primary reasons: its class-and-ability-based team compositions, and its inclusion of three maps (not one) that rotate in and out of play each season. While every legend is relatively balanced, with no one choice reigning supreme over the others, each map benefits particular legends more than others. The hard-to-climb areas of Olympus benefit Pathfinder more than the wide-open fields of World's Edge, for exam

The next new hop-up is Deadeye’s Tempo , which increase the fire rate dramatically. This is what makes the Bocek viable at close range. This hop-up will also work with the Sentinel sniper rifle, which currently has a notoriously slow fire r

White helmets and white knockdown shields are now totally removed from the loot pool, meaning you won’t find them on the floor. White body armor, meanwhile, is now far, far less common, but still available to find in case of emergencies. Weapons, grenades, heal items, and ammo will be more common inst

Lifeline is an all-around good champion for any squad thanks mostly to her passive ability which lets her use her drone to revive teammates while she continues a fight. King's Canyon is an open map where players have a broad view of the battlefield at most times. Her ultimate ability Care Package is easily visible to other players on this map for this reason, and should be used sparingly ; unless that is, someone wants the attent

Since her introduction Valkyrie has consistently been one of the highest-picked Legends in Apex Legends collectibles Legends . On the King's Canyon map her ultimate comes particularly in handy, and the verticality of some areas are trivialized by her passive abili

That isn’t quite the whole story when it comes to Realm Royale , but the now standalone battle royale used to just be a mode in Paladins: Battlegrounds . When it comes to establishing itself in the battle royale field, it’s quite similar to other games in the area as it drops 90 players into an area where they do battle while the boundaries of the map slowly shrink. One of the weird ways the game manages to stand out is by making "downed" players into chickens who can the
