NEW UPDATES COMING WITH APEX LEGENDS: REVELRY

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Dig deeper into new game updates coming in Apex Legends: Revelry including Remastered Legend Classes, Team Deathmatch, and more!

[h2]REMASTERED LEGEND CLASSES
[/h2]
In Revelry, Legends have been reorganized on the Legends Screen according to their Class. You’ll be able to see their associated Class perk on top of that Legend’s unique abilities. 

This reorganization will help players identify Legends that play or support the team in a similar manner, and help them understand the new roles easier. There will be 5 Classes:
  • Assault
  • Recon
  • Skirmisher
  • Controller
  • Support


[h2]CLASS PERKS
[/h2]
Every Legend Class also now has an associated gameplay perk that grants the Legends of that class access to new strategic options in the game.

At casual levels of play, these new gameplay benefits will be fun new bonuses to engage with and empower decision-making.

At higher levels of play, a squad make-up now determines what gameplay elements the team will have access to, and what they’re leaving behind.

[h2]TEAM DEATHMATCH, PERMANENT LIMITED-TIME MODE ROTATIONS
[/h2]
At the launch of Revelry, we’ll be debuting Team Deathmatch to the Apex Games –  a no holds barred brawl between two teams of six – which will be available for the first three weeks of the season. This has been our most requested mode, and we’re excited for players to check in out.



In Team Deathmatch players will be able to select their Legend and weapon loadouts, similar to Control, with respawns occurring automatically after death. The first team to score 30 kills wins the round, and the first team to win two rounds wins the match. Loadouts will shuffle in between rounds, and you can always swap between them and your selected legend while waiting to respawn after death. Make sure to keep an eye out for periodic airdrops throughout the map which come loaded with Care Package and gold-kitted weapons.

[h2]MIXTAPE PLAYLIST
[/h2]
Following the first three weeks of Team Deathmatch, we’re thrilled to introduce a brand new way to enjoy some of our more highly requested LTMs on a permanent rotation with our Mixtape Playlist. This new mode queue provides players with the opportunity to jump right into frenetic and engaging combat experiences between our quick respawn modes: Control, Team Deathmatch, and Gun Run. These modes give ample opportunity to experiment and practice with weapons and Legends outside of our core BR experience, with little downtime between fights and respawns.

[h2]NEW WEAPON: NEMESIS
[/h2]


It’s been a while since we unleashed a new weapon and the wait will be over when Revelry launches with a new energy weapon: The Nemesis, a new energy class assault rifle that fires four rounds per burst. With a ramping burst delay that decreases the time between bursts and simulates a fully automatic weapon, we’re hoping to see this potentially unseat favorite standbys like the R-301 and Flatline.

[h2]FIRING RANGE UPDATES
[/h2]


  • Added options to customize your firing range experience
  • Dummies can now strafe left and right! You control how fast they move, whether they should crouch, and their shield level.
  • Dynamic stats appear any time you deal damage, letting you track your performance.
  • Hit indicators help you keep track of spray patterns.
  • Unlimited ammo means no more trips back to the gun racks to reload.
  • This is the first of several rounds of updates to the firing range, so we will keep an eye on how the community uses the new tools.

[h2]ORIENTATION MATCHES
[/h2]
New to the Outlands? Try the new Orientation Match system, meant to create an easy introduction where new players can get their bearings and learn the core mechanics of Apex Legends. To participate in Orientation matches you have to be a brand new player or party up with a new player to take out some bots before joining the regular matchmaking queue.

Launch The Game Now

Apex Legends' new event stuffed with more free Apex Packs than usual

The next major Apex Legends title update is upon us and, with it, Respawn Entertainment is celebrating four years of this battle royale shooter with another Anniversary collection event. While this celebration is going to work in the same way as previous collection events, Respawn is being a lot more generous when it comes to Apex Packs in the reward tracker.


Starting on February 14, the Apex Legends Anniversary collection event sees a full set of recolours and community-created cosmetics available in the in-game store and select Event Apex Packs. There have been some minor cosmetic changes introduced to these skins - so, they're not completely recycled content - but it's still not quite as fresh as you'd like.


Still, completing the collection event will bag you 150 Heirloom Shards - and a set of slick legend skins. So, if you want to get a headstart on that, you'll be pleased to know that the Anniversary collection event reward tracker doesn't just contain five Apex Packs, it contains two Event Apex Packs - something we haven't seen available in a reward track for quite some time.

Apex Legends Season 16 release time nears as we gear up for Revelry

The Apex Legends Season 16 release time is finally upon us, and we can't wait to dig into everything developer Respawn has been cooking up for the new update - Revelry. As we celebrate the battle royale game's fourth birthday, the studio has been hard at work preparing all sorts of goodies to make up for the fact that there won't be a new legend this time around.


If you're wondering what Respawn's been cooking up, then let us clue you in on what you can expect to find in the Apex Legends patch notes. The Apex Legends tier list is going to be shaken up thanks to buffs to the likes of Lifeline and Mirage, and nerfs to Seer and Horizon. Meanwhile, the Apex Legends classes have been completely revamped. Oh, and there may not be a new legend, but there is a shiny new Nemesis AR to add to your locker.


So what is the exact time you can expect the content to drop? While Respawn has yet to confirm the time, it is most like that the Apex Legends Season 16 release time is 10:00 PT / 13:00 ET / 18:00 GMT on February 14. This is when updates have historically dropped, though of course there's always a chance it could differ by an hour or two should there be issues with the patch.

TSM's Apex Legends coach Raven wants to make esports history

Between collapsing on the floor embracing Phillip 'ImperialHal' Dosen and his emotional on-stage interview in front of the trophy he just lifted, there was no doubt that TSM's Apex Legends Global Series win in London meant a lot to the team's coach, 'Raven'.


TSM's players have been beyond complimentary of Raven's impact on the team, never more so than in a pre-ALGS Split 1 Playoffs interview with TheGamer. ImperialHal was equally full of praise for TSM's coach when I spoke with him after the team's victory.


Despite the backing of his team, Raven is a self-confessed "controversial" figure in the competitive Apex community. His alternative opinions on how the battle royale should be played at the highest level have meant that many have questioned his methods.
