Apex Legends News

Respawn has revealed its newest character coming to Apex Legends, Catalyst, in a new animated short showing off her backstory.

Catalyst, also known as Tressa Smith, is an "experienced terraformer and defensive conjurer," who "uses her remarkable control of ferrofluid to manipulate the battlefield," as described on the game's official site. In the short, called Last Hope, it shows her and a friend trying to save one of Boreas' moons, Cleo, but they disagree with the methodology in doing so.

She seems to have a very witchy vibe, though with a sci-fi twist, some majorly strong vibes overall. Catalyst is also seen chatting with Rampart as the two talk over some crystals that the former is reading, really amping up the witchy feeling, as she explains her backstory.

Hey, Apex Legends fans - it's been a pretty exciting week for this battle royale shooter, hasn't it? We know it's one of the best battle royale games out there anyway right now, but everything is a little better when it's spooky season and the Fight or Fright event is in full swing now. We know you're itching to jump back into the fray and work on your Apex Legends rank - so, we'll keep this brief. Here's a quick run-through on some of the most interesting bits of Apex Legends news to come out of this past week.

We know we started last week's This Week in Apex Legends news with Apex Legends Fight or Fright event, but... We're doing it again. Apex Legends' Gun Run LTM has returned - and it's only going to be around for a few days. Introduced in Season 14's Beast of Prey Collection Event, this LTM has quickly become a firm favourite with fans and you'll be pleased to know you can play it right now until October 18. Then, it's going to swap out for Control - which is far from a bad thing.

But, if you're more interested in the meat and drink of this battle royale game - the battle royale modes - then you'll be intrigued to know that Horizon's pick rate is through the roof. At the moment, over a quarter of Apex Legends' top players are now using Horizon; and, she's quite popular with players in Platinum and above, too. Looking at Apex Legends Status, you'll be able to see that she's the most popular legend in Platinum, the most popular legend in Diamond, and boasts a whopping 27% pick rate in Master and Apex Predator. Not bad, eh laddie?

If there's one thing Apex Legends fans are good at, it's suggesting weird and wonderful buffs and changes for the game's characters - just take a look at these Apex Legends fans that think Fuse and Crypto deserve this unique buff. We know we have touched upon a fan-made Apex Legends Crypto rework before, but this time we're talking about everyone's favourite murder-robot Revenant. Redditor 'Kvetanista' thinks Revenant needs to embrace his darkness a little more and lean on Shadow Royale's shadows with his Death Totem ultimate ability - and, we're inclined to agree.

In their Reddit post, Kvetanista simply suggests that Revenant and anyone else using Revenant's Death Totem should actually be transformed into a "Shadow Royale type of shadow" - rather than just getting the benefits of Death Protection for a limited time.

This suggestion, as you might be able to imagine, has sparked something of a debate online - and we're not opposed to the idea of Respawn Entertainment shaking up Revenant's kit a little. Looking at the Apex Legends Season 14 pick rates, he could be in a healthier place.

Apex Legends' Golden Ticket is your key to a new Season 15 teaser

Here's when Apex Legends' Gun Run returns in Fight or Fright event

We know over a quarter of Apex Legends' top players are now using Horizon, which is a lot, but that doesn't mean it isn't one of the best battle royale games out there right now - because it really is. If you're wondering why are we saying that this time around, it's because of the rather unusual Apex Legends' Golden Ticket item players are starting to see pop up in their Replicator menu.

Respawn Entertainment hasn't confirmed anything just yet, but the Apex Legends' Golden Ticket special item appears to be something of a teaser for Season 15 and the content we're expecting to see added to this battle royale shooter. Oh, and it's a pretty great way to get your hands on a golden gun in-game - because the Replicator throws one of them out at you as well.

How do we know this is a teaser for Season 15, though? Well, because this seems to be all about the long-rumoured new moon map that Apex Legends fans are expecting to see introduced in the next major content update. The Golden Ticket special item itself actually has a description explaining that it is "a ticket to see the new home of the Apex Games". You can check this out in screenshots, courtesy of AlphaIntel, here.
