We were joined in this interview by Robert West , senior game designer, Daniel Klein , lead game designer, Ashley Reed , senior writer, and Dave Osei , lead level designer. These four individuals may know more about Apex Legends than anyone else on the planet, so they were the perfect people to interrogate for more details on Season 9: Leg

Sadly, he was turned into a robot by Hammond Robotics - a company that is involved in the origin stories of many legends. Revenant spent a very long time believing he was still human and was oblivious to what had happened to him. The meme by justfor._.apex on Instagram is an amusing albeit sad reminder of t

Crypto and Valkyrie are also great choices, of course. Valkyrie can buy her Skyward Dive ultimate and reposition the whole team at the start of the game, while also painting enemies on the HUD . Crypto, meanwhile, has his drone , which is the best tool in the game for marking enemy positions, and can help you formulate plans dynamica

While similar to the previous entry, this loadout can be useful for more aggressive players that have a keen eye. The R-301 is famously accurate at longer distances, but also has a superb rate of fire that holds up in close-quarters combat. And although light ammo is generally weaker, it’s also very easy to come

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

Now that Apex legends News is on Season 8, gamers have started to get bored with Revenant. This is down to his novelty value wearing off when more legends were introduced to the game. As with many games, the developers are constantly learning what fans like and want then evolving the game in a way to satisfy t

[DK] Yes, of course. I mean, that's a thing we have to keep in mind. But we are taking some steps to make sure our loot pool doesn't get too bloated. For instance, there was a limited-time mode earlier this year called Locked And Loaded where all white loot was removed from the ground, but it had some long term balancing problems that we're not okay with. But we are taking steps toward that state. In Legacy you will see everybody starts with a starter kit, so a white armour, white knockdown shield, white helmet, two cells, two syringes. It's really good, by the way, it just feels like you can land and you don't immediately lose if the enemy finds a purple armour and you find nothing. This will allow us to remove white helmets etc. from the loot pool. We have further work going into future seasons where we're hopeful that, if we can pull it off, we can remove even more. And obviously we are always rotating hop-ups out of the game as we put new ones

[DK] I hope not. There are small differences right now, Lifeline's Ultimate and Valkyrie's Ultimate are different, but that's just to accommodate the needs of the mode, rather than balance. I hope we never have to be in a position where we have to change an ability between Arenas and Battle Royale for balance. That would be really awkward. One of the goals of Arenas is that you can use it as practice, right? You go in, you get lots of practice with your abilities, weapons and so on. And if we then say 'hey, you're practising one balanced state, but then you go into Battle Royale and that's different,' then, we've failed on that g

Legends like Bloodhound become more important in these smaller maps too, as Bloodhound’s Scan ability will be able to cover a huge amount of space, and locate hiding opponents. His abilities combine well with Bangalore’s, but there’s no need to have more than one Recon Legend in any given t

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

As mentioned, you cannot fire while ascending using the VTOL Jets , and you will ascend fairly slowly - this is nothing like Horizon’s speedy gravity lift from previous seasons. This does mean that Valkyrie is a fairly obvious target, and even when she starts descending you can get some good hits in. If you’re a good shot with a sniper, Valkyrie can be taken down with ease, and that’s what you need to be aware of as a Valkyrie player. Staying in the air for too long can be a really bad decision. Be aware of the limits of your jet, and also aware of how far you need to fall before you can get behind cover and heal again. The jets are also fairly loud, so nearby players should instantly have a good idea of where a Valkyrie player
