Hey everyone! I’m Mark Yampolsky and I’m a Systems Designer on Apex Legends. In Apex Legends Season 6: Boosted, we’re adding a new way for players to build out the loot in their inventory - Crafting.

In any Battle Royale, as players travel around the map and pick up loot, the vast majority of it gets concentrated in player inventories. That means, as an aggressive player, the best way to get the loot you want is to win fights against other squads and loot their deathboxes. For players who may play a bit more defensively, or might have just had bad luck with the loot on the groun...

Hello once again from your Apex Legends™ Ranked designers. We’re back to talk about Ranked Leagues Season 6 for Apex Legends. As usual, we’ll take a look at our goals, talk about some results, and detail how Ranked Leagues will work when Season 6 - Boosted launches.

  • “Series” terminology retired, Ranked Leagues will use “Season” going forward.
  • Mid-season Splits with resets continue to give good incentives for sustained play.

When we first started planning Ranked, we were planning for Ranked to eventually run on a different cadence...

Hi! I’m Jason McCord, Design Director on Apex Legends. Apex Legends is entering its sixth season, and with that, some brand new updates to World’s Edge!

Partly, a map update is developed to inject some “newness” into the game for the launch of a season - new layouts to learn, new rotations to utilize, and new strategies to master. It also gives the designers an opportunity to improve the overall flow and experience of playing the map, while addressing any pain points we’ve heard from the community.

With that in mind, our first step is identifying what we want to t...

Buddy check!

Everyone should always know where their swimming buddy is, and with Pathfinder’s newest getup, your squadmates will never be in doubt. While Pathfinder is not a legally-certified lifeguard and probably isn’t the strongest swimmer, he’s great at pulling any wayward Legend buddies back to safety. Plus his purely decorative flotation devices will stand out in any environment! So get ready to give your Legend pals high fives at the next buddy check -- you’ve all done a super job so far! It’s safe to say this summer you’ll be swimming with confidence -- and your foes will be ...

Hey all! I’m Davis Standley, one of the level designers on Apex Legends. Kings Canyon is undergoing some pretty big changes for Season 5 - Fortune’s Favor, and I wanted to break down some of the decisions that shaped the map update into what it is.

Kings Canyon is a map with lots of history, and we wanted to make a bold change to how it would play in Season 5. In the end, we made way more than one. In Season 5, Kings Canyon is a new beast, forever changed by the actions of Loba and the Syndicate.

Fortune’s Favor

Season 5 of Apex Legends is a big one! It’s a season about adventure, digging up the past, and change - and the translocating thief Loba is an agent of that change. It’s her misadventures under Kings Canyon that caused the destruction of Skull Town, her vendetta that brings her to the games now, and her relentless drive that will push all the Legends into a new endeavor: our first Sea...

  • Splits are working well. Staying with ~6 weeks of ranked play before a reset
  • Tier and Apex Predator separation worked as intended.
  • reset gave a good incentive to keep playing.
  • Switching maps mid season helped keep things interesting. Will persist.

Hi everyone,

I’m Jason McCord, Design Director on Apex Legends.

 

Throughout the last year we’ve heard many fun ideas from our fans about different ways to play Apex Legends. One of my favorites has been suggested countless times, and even more so when we introduced the Evo Shields in The System Override Event.

 

I’m excited to announce that starting Tuesday, April 28 we’re introducing a new limited-time mode called Battle Armor. The Battle Armor event takes place on World’s Edge and will evolve over 14 days in the lead up to Season 5, with a new tw...

Starting on April 7th, Duos will be added to the game alongside Trios, as well a permanent map rotation that gives players the ability to play Duos or Trios on Kings Canyon and Worlds Edge.

Since the launch of Apex Legends, we’ve introduced Duos a few times as a limited-time mode, and overall it’s had a positive effect on the game’s health in regards to queue times and gameplay systems in addition to reinforcing teamplay (something that is paramount to every design decision we make for Apex Legends). So with the 4.2 update we are excited to be adding it a...
