Welcome to the Apex Legends thread, friend. Post your sick clips, big scoreboards, ridiculous glitches, questions, tips, tricks or just shoot the breeze with fellow legends. Stick around, it'll be fun.



What's this Apex thing all about then?
Simple. It's a first person shooter battle royale. 20 teams of 3 players (or 30 teams of 2) drop into one of three ever changing maps. You gather up weapons, shields and and heals then fight your way to be the last team standing all while dodging a decreasing zone of pain that will kill you if you spend too long it.

How much is is gonna cost me?
The game itself is free to play. Respawn make their money from micro transactions for characters and skins. Characters can be unlocked without paying, simply by playing and leveling up.

Where can I play this?
It is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series S & X and most recently, the Nintendo Switch.


Rather than clog up the first post with a ton of images, below, I'll be posting links to resources for learning about the characters, guns and maps.

There's no reason to not be playing. Unless you just don't like fun. Climb aboard and drop in!

Laugh as I get my best arc star stick and it gets immediately denied. Then marvel as we get ganked right after wiping the team we were fighting.

I need to get back into this. I am a filthy casual, but I really enjoy the game. The last time I played was when it switched to that fire and ice map with the train.

...What kind of changes am I going to be in for? Lol.

I'ts crazy how good IitzTimmy is at the game. Map knowledge, situational awareness, movement and aim are ridiculous.

Timmy is mad mate. He takes 1v3s like nothing! His movement is from another world

Nothing much really. Just some some characters buffs and nerfs. New weapon and character’s. You know what? Come lets play and I’ll explain more in detail ?

There's a new map, new weapons in the 30-30 repeater and the Volt. That's a heavy ammo rifle and energy SMG. Heat shields are in now which is a bubble shield that stops the ring sting. A new Aussie legend, Fuse. A new Scottish legend, Horizon. A new English/Indian legend, Rampart and Brazilian legend Loba. Evo armour is also in which bumps the level of your armour up by doing more damage. There's a three man vehicle on Olympus called Trident.

There's probably more I'm forgetting but yeah, quite a bit of new stuff added since World's Edge came in to the game. We're currently 36 days away from season 9 so expect another new legend and at least, some big map changes or hopefully a new map but that will probably come with S10.

Haven't heard much about Blisk. Is summoning a titan his ultimate? I hope they get the balance right.
Yeah. Stationary titan that defends the place and that’s it. It doesn’t move which is good. That’s of course according to the leaks

I’d pick Valk over Blisk

I'll wait and see how it functions before judging it. Need to know how much health they give it, if it's gonna be a 360 turret etc. I think I'm more excited to see what map changes they bring. I predict a thoroughly reworked World's Edge. But I wouldn't object to a brand new map either.

War Games is going to be FUN! Fuck that last event

  • Second Chance (Tuesday, 4/13 – Thursday, 4/15): Kicking off the event, this modifier grants each Legend one free respawn per match; once a Legend is killed, a Respawn Token is consumed to rise again from the player’s current location retaining all their weapons and gear. After a short duration, the player respawns high in the air to skydive back into the action.
  • Ultra Zones (Thursday, 4/15 – Monday, 4/19): Get ready for multiple Hot Zones within a single map, and for more epic loot and gold items. Each Hot Zone is enveloped in a Flash Point – the enormous, glowing bubbles that replenish HP and shields when you stand in them. In this mode, consumable items are still available as normal throughout the loot pool.
  • Auto Banners (Monday, 4/19 – Wednesday, 4/21): Adding a rather small but spicy change to squadmate respawning, this modifier lets players automatically retrieve their Squadmates Banner Cards! Players don’t need to loot their death box to retrieve their Banner Cards — they can just head straight to a respawn beacon. The loot pool has been altered to contain more Mobile Respawn Beacons too.
  • Killing Time (Wednesday, 4/21 – Friday, 4/23): This event speeds up the match as Legends fall; during a round, whenever a Legend dies, the round time is reduced. If any given round is a massacre, the ring will close quickly so players have to keep an eye on the round timer to survive this modifier.
  • Armor Regen (Friday, 4/23 – Tuesday, 4/27): Closing out the War Games, the Armor Regen will regenerate over time at a rate of 12 points per second in this final mode. Whenever players take damage, their armor will begin regenerating after an 8-second delay; this delay is doubled to 16 seconds if a player’s armor gets cracked.

They really need to sort the footsteps out. Been ganked too many times by teams that make no sound at all.
I’m done hoping for this to get fixed. I’ve been playing since day and it’s the same thing over and over again

Oh you got a full squad running towards you? Well, we can only make you hear one of them at best.

Gonna need to get me that badge. If Blisk is coming in season 9, when are we getting Ash. Seems like they've been mentioned from season 7 iirc.

Had a few games on PC yesterday and seem to have forgotten how to play KB/M. I have this annoying problem where my mouse movement is really juddery, so much that I had to use controller and played way better.

Good fun though, I’ve missed this game!

ultra zones are awesome if you deal chip damage from afar while rotating around active battlefields

arena mode coming soon should be rad, coinciding with titanfall content and probable revisions to olympus and edge

still think the lobby gets in the way, goal should be a persistent war somewhere between arena to royale with limited resets and reloads that take place in a staging area similar to destiny 2

pvpve structure that builds up the community into higher order structures
