Apex Legends Dev Tracker

And it will be the first map in ranked rotation! Olympus for the second ranked split, of course.

We have specific jetpack control schemes with a view to supporting controller. The default scheme, "hold", keeps the jetpack on as long as you hold down the jump key. That's great for keyboard and mouse, but not great for controller. For controller we recommend the "toggle" scheme where you can let go of jump once the jetpack's on, leaving your hands free to do other things. If you want to turn the jetpack off, you just press jump one more time.

And like the poster below me says, no shooting your guns during jetpack. You CAN shoot your tactical however.

Double jump is the input you use to activate it, but then it absolutely feels like a jetpack. If you keep it on for the full duration you get about 8 seconds of flight time.

She goes about 120% of the height of an average jump tower (fun fact: they all have different heights).

I rarely make predictions (because games are wild and unpredictable), but my only concern is she might come in TOO strong. I'm definitely not worried about her releasing under powered. The levers are there to make her balanced, but I definitely tuned her on the strong side.

I think they're really different. Fuse's tac has a meaningful duration during which it denies an area, while Valk's tac lands once and is done. Valk is better for flushing people out of cover, Fuse is better for denying them a door or other chokepoint.

They don't. Arena and BR stats will be separate. There are Arena only stats (and badges) that you can flex on your banner.

The trailers might be sliiiiightly overstating how effective that is. If you try this stunt in real life, you're probably gonna get killed on the way up. If you get hit by any damage in the first 2s (the boot up phase of your ult), it cancels out and sets it to 75% CD as well. It's more of an aggressive tool than a defensive one. But with some luck and maybe good cover you could theoretically use it to get your squad to safety. It's theoretically possible.

Mirage is super strong. Seriously, no joking; one of the strongest legends in the game at low levels and doesn't even fall off a lot as you get up there. I'd say you can play Mirage well into master lobbies.

We got stuff coming for Rampart down the line, but nothing to talk about yet.

Maybe they're friendly bullets ;P

There's a small one. We are under no illusion that it'll fix his weak state sufficiently, but it's all we had time for this season. Work continues!

There's a rare "tango delta" when she lands from ult (10% chance or so) and the ult spin up lines are SO GOOD.

One creates loot, the other lets you pick up loot from a distance.

It has an arcstar-like stun (less intensity, less duration) on it, so I think it's quite useful.

An individual rocket does 25; additional rockets past the first barely increase damage. You could theoretically do more damage with a Valk tac if you hit like 3 or 4 rockets on them, but they'd have to help you by moving along with the impacts. Apex is a gun game first and foremost. You're not killing anyone with Missile Swarm.

Wait for the patch notes ;)

Correct. No shooting while using jetpack; you can disengage and if you were high enough in the air, your gun can come out while you're dropping down, but you get the full in-air accuracy debuff; aka maybe you'll hit a stray bullet if you're spraying at the enemy, but don't count on it.

Yup! Teammates have to walk up to her and press use to hook into the ultimate (good luck herding cats ;P) and once you hit the Apex of the jump it transitions to a plane skydive with Valk as the jump master, meaning you can hold use to unhook and make your own way down.

We're not just fixing it (bug fixing that is; there's still the occasional bug with it, but anecdotally from my testing it went from maybe 3-4 out of every 10 attempts failing currently to maybe 1 in a 100) but we're also buffing it: full movement speed while it's in the air, no slow down when you arrive. Honestly patch notes can't do it justice; you gotta feel it. I'm a Loba main on live and playtests are night and day.

Pro-tip: there are no reputable leakers. They're all inconsiderate assholes who spoil the hard works of game dev teams for a little bit of clout.
