Accept chaos

“Life is just a game and luckily you’re playing it with me.”

Things are really heating up this season and the new Legend Alter is turning heads. Little is known about this new user of Void technology except that disaster seems to be following her. Was she the cause or simply in the wrong place at the wrong time? No one can say. But she seems genuinely happy to watch the disasters unfold and revels in what the chaos brings to those around her. While her ethics may be questionable, her abilities certainly are not:

Gift from the Rift – Can remotely interact with the deathbox to receive an item. It can’t be armor.

Blank paragraph – Create a portal passage through a surface.

Nexus is disabled – Create a rally point that all allies can remotely interact with to open a phase tunnel back to that location.

What brings the mysterious Alter to Apex Games? No one can really say. But one thing is for sure, when you’re with her, life is never boring.

Stand alone in Solos

Duos will debut when Solos Takeover makes its highly anticipated return at the start of the season. This fan favorite is back with enough new mechanics to keep things interesting. Every Legend is for themselves, which means no one will be following you – so you’ll need to rely on your Battle Sense to spot nearby enemies. Equipped weapons and accessories will keep you one step ahead of your opponents, while Second Chance’s auto-healing feature will help you stay in fighting shape long enough to come out on top. Join Solos Takeover starting May 7.

The moon shattered

The lunar nightmare becomes reality as Olympus appears to crash into Cleo’s Stasis Array Node, reshaping the battlefield with new POIs and a streamlined map (including new spins and rails). zip is suitably refurbished to spread the devastation). Debris from the crash as well as meteor strikes and what some call unidentified biological material have led to the closure and quarantine of the area formerly known as the Promenade. Instead, welcome to Quarantine.

If you’re looking for intense melee action and fast-paced looting, this is where you’ll find it.

Breaker Wharf has moved to the original location of the backup Atmostation, and that’s not the only change you have to look forward to. Debris rain changed the terrain as well as gameplay options – enhancing the potential for pandemics. Moving the Space Port will provide some choice looting opportunities, while Cliff Side offers an interesting layout for tense tug-of-war battles between the highlands and the lowlands. Solar Pod’s new Lunar buildings will keep things moving as well as provide new combat experiences.

Need a moment to catch your breath? The tunnel will give your team the breathing space you need to get back into the game. And the Test Lab is a great place for anyone looking for some high-risk, high-reward action. Finally, the new spins are all about the fun, giving you various opportunities to make life a little more difficult for opposing teams.

There’s even more to come in Apex Legends: Upheaval, including the chance to show off your style with customizable Apex Artifacts, leaving your unique mark of destruction. Then change up your style with the Upheaval Battle Pass, unlocking over 100 rewards including Exotic Fragments.
