Apex Legends Saviors update is out now, adding new defensive Legend Newcastle

Nothing says "family" more than banding together to slaughter a giant sea creature, then using its corpse as a venue for killing each other repeatedly in your bloodsport tournaments. Yes, Apex Legends' 13th season, Saviors, is now live, bringing with it changes to the Storm Point map, and the newest Legend, Newcastle.

Apex Legends Season 13 is just around the corner, and today is an important day - it's patch notes time, folks. While there's plenty to mull over, the headline changes include nerfs to all four of the game's LMGs, an interesting tweak to the battle royale's two Fortified legends (Gibraltar and Caustic), and a buff to the Apex Games' most forgettable competitor, Rampart.

So, let's start with those weapon changes shall we? Nine weapons are getting their base stats tweaked in Apex Legends Season 13, most of which are nerfs. The headline changes are the nerfs coming to all four of the battle royale's light machine guns (the Spitfire, L-STAR, Rampage, and Devotion) and to the game's god-like Kraber sniper rifle. The Kraber has had its headshot multiplier slashed, and when coupled with a headshot protection buff to blue and purple helmets, your one-shot Kraber kills are gonna get a whole lot harder.

Shotguns are also getting tinkered in Season 13, with the Peacekeeper and Mozambique getting small buffs, while the Mastiff (which is this season's crate weapon) also getting some balance changes. Find out exactly what's changing to your favourite weapons in the full Apex Legends patch notes.

Apex Legends' Season 13 map changes add loot hotspot to Storm Point

It's safe to say that Apex Legends fans have a lot to look forward to when it comes to the Season 13 update and all the new content being introduced to the battle royale - even without a new weapon. The Season 13 Storm Point map changes are one of the biggest talking points of this new update and the development team have revealed that the new Downed Beast POI is going to be a loot hotspot for players looking to get one-up on their opponents.

Discussing Storm Point's new Downed Beast POI and the map changes that brings, Apex Legends' lead level designer Jeff Shaw outlined the design goals for the addition and revealed that the new location is like a "big, stuffed loot piñata" where the "best loot is inside the belly of the beast".

You certainly don't get 'piñata vibes' from the Downed Beast at a glance, but this is going to be a popular drop spot for players after the Apex Legends Season 13 release date - like any new POI. However, with the prospects of the best loot on Storm Point being inside, it could remain a popular drop spot as the season progresses, into Season 14, and beyond.
