Here are six things you didn't know about Apex Legends' Control mode

Nine-versus-nine, unlimited respawn, objective-based Apex Legends? Sounds a hoot. The new Control limited-time mode that is coming on February 8 with the Apex Season 12 Defiance update has really intrigued players, and while a blog post outlined most of the details about it, there were still some questions left unanswered.


However, at a media event, the masterminds behind Control went in even deeper on this chaotic LTM to reveal even more interesting details. We won't bore you with all the stuff you've probably read in the blog post already, but here are all the new bits of info we got from game directors David Swieczko and Mark Yampolsky.


As this is a casual "playground" mode, the devs have taken an equally laid back approach to things like ammo and healing. In Control, your loadout weapons will have unlimited ammo, so you can keep blasting away to your heart's content. The only exception to the rule are the powerful crate weapons that can be obtained through Airdrop events that happen throughout the match.

Apex Legends Control - everything we know about the new LTM mode

Respawn Entertainment is always innovating when it comes to Apex Legends, and it looks like the game's latest limited-time mode (LTM) is going to continue the studio's tradition of adding new ways to play the battle royale-turned-arena shooter.


Apex Legends Control is an LTM that looks to pit legend against legend in a 9v9, respawn-friendly environment - an environment in which some of our favourite legends that are currently struggling in our Apex Legends tier list could find a new lease of life.


Apex Legends is a battle royale game at its core, and in almost every mode Respawn has introduced - persistent or limited-time - there is a fundamental rule that is followed: everyone has one life to make a difference.


However, Apex Legends Control is looking to shake things up in more ways than one, and it could be the start of a new era when it comes to Apex Legends LTMs. To ensure you're ready to lock and load when Control arrives, here's everything you need to know about the new mode ahead of Apex Legends Season 12: Defiance.

Apex Legends Maggie release date, abilities, leaks, and more

Ash might not have broken into the top three when it comes to Apex Legends' legend pick rates, but she's certainly made her mark on Apex Legends' meta. In fact, she's easily found a place at the top of our Apex Legends tier list - detailing the best legends to use in Season 11. Her offensive capabilities are unrivalled and she's certainly a popular choice among Apex Legends players looking for quick kills. With Season 12 almost upon us, however, it's time we look forward to Maggie and whether she'll have the same sort of meta-changing impact in Apex Legends Season 12: Defiance.


Maggie is going to be another familiar face for those of us who have been following Apex Legends' lore, but she's not the character we were expecting to see again quite so soon. First appearing as 'Mad Maggie' in Apex Legends' 'Good as Gold' Stories from the Outlands short, Maggie is a long-time friend of Fuze who took his decision to join the Apex Games badly. She's the reason he's only got one arm, too!


Respawn Entertainment is keeping a lot of the details about Maggie as a playable character a secret, but there are some leaks out there that help fill the gaps left by trailers and blog posts. Here's everything we know about Apex Legends Maggie, including her release date and rumoured abilities.
