Apex Legends Ignite Patch Notes
NEW UPDATES COMING WITH APEX LEGENDS: IGNITE
It’s your Time to Shine in Apex Legends: Ignite. With her shield-based abilities, let Conduit be your guiding light for regeneration and disruption. She’s the spark your squad needs to become Apex Champions on the faster and deadlier Storm Point. This tempest of a map has been overhauled with a reduced size and fresh Points of Interest like The Pylon, ZEUS Station, and Devastated Coast.
Last but certainly not least, the team is excited to share that Cross Progression will be rolling out starting this season. Link your platforms to an EA Account to show off your skills no matter where you squad up.
NEW LEGEND: CONDUIT
Conduit is like a firework–warm, bright, and short-lived. To rise quickly, Rowenna must don a combat rig made of an incomplete Monarch Titan that she knows is poisoning her. But it’s a price she’s willing to pay for her dream of being a Legend. At home, she’s the core of her large family. She smoothes over issues with her humor and sunny disposition all while hustling and sacrificing quietly–something that’s unchanged in the Games.
Despite the fact she’s exchanging her life and health to be Conduit, Rowenna is having fun because she knows the Apex Games. Expert, fan, supporter–she’s there and she has the replays saved and filed, and her teammates and rivals know she’s there to win!
STORM POINT MAP UPDATE
Storm Point is a map that is loved by our competitive community for its more predictable pacing and high loot quality. However, some of the elements of Storm Point that make it a great competitive map can also make it more difficult to quickly find action during casual play.
This brings us to the team's primary goal for this update, which is to improve the fun factor without sacrificing competitive integrity. To do this, we’ve taken the following actions:
Add attractive, central POIs for players searching for combat. Wattson’s Pylon and CETO Station provide central hot drops for players looking to fight early.
Reduce overall map size to improve mid-game pacing. Significant map size reductions to both the southern coastline and northern mountainous areas make these zones more attractive for early combat and reduce the overall distance between squads.
Reduce friction of central rotations. With CETO Station replacing Prowler Island and a reworked Prowler-less Forbidden Zone, rotations through the center of map have never been smoother.
NEW POI: WATTSON’S PYLON
At the end of Arsenal, a massive storm ravaged Storm Point, forcing it offline. This was bad news for the city of Suotamo, which is largely powered by energy infrastructure on or around the island. Wattson quickly volunteered to assist, having friends with close ties to Suotamo. Wattson has since led the charge to restore power with The Pylon, in collaboration with the Syndicate.
With The Pylon, the team’s goal was to create a dynamic hot drop where players can reliably find early combat. The team was particularly interested in tapping into the vertical, cat-and-mouse gameplay usually found on World’s Edge.
Some notable features of Wattson’s Pylon are the Charge Tower at the center of the POI and an integrated Gravity Cannon that will launch players to the reworked Forbidden Zone. Wattson’s room on the top floor is also home to some particularly interesting details…
We’re thrilled with how Wattson’s Pylon turned out, and hope you love it too!
IMC ARMORIES
Unfortunately, the IMC Spectres failed to defend Storm Point from the storm, leaving only ravaged husks of the armories behind. Expect some high tier loot to remain – but the Spectres will no longer defend the spoils.
REWORKED AREA: FORBIDDEN ZONE
The Forbidden Zone was hit hard by lightning during the storm, destroying parts of the perimeter fence and causing the Prowlers to flee! Our goal for this area was to reduce the friction of rotating through the zone by removing the Prowlers, but also providing structures to build better fronts and defensive options when squads are forced into combat.
REWORKED AREA: LIGHTNING ROD
One of the biggest opportunities we wanted to address with this update was to solve for the low number of players choosing to drop on the high side of the map. In addition to adding ZEUS Station, the team felt that it was important to reduce the overall size of this zone to help make these POIs feel better connected to one another and the rest of Storm Point.
And that’s just about everything! The team is looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the new Storm Point and playing with you all. See you in the ring!
CROSS PROGRESSION
With the launch of Season 19, we’re excited to roll out Cross Progression in a phased deployment across existing platforms in Apex Legends™. Keep an eye out for an in-game prompt to initiate the Cross Progression migration which will bring together your content and progression.
For more information and platform restrictions, please check out our Cross Progression blog here.
RANKED UPDATE
Promotional Trials are launching in Ignite. Prove your skill to earn your promotion up to the next Rank tier. Upon reaching the peak of a Rank Tier, one must complete a set of time limited skill challenges to earn their tier promotion. Promotional Trials ensures a minimum skill level for each Ranked tier.
Stay tuned for our Patch Notes blog for more details.
SKYDIVE HOLOSPRAYS
Holosprays are soaring to new heights this season. Equip them to your wheel to use them while in-flight! Once deployed, Holosprays will follow your flight path for a limited time or until a Skydive Emote or different Holospray is used. Let the good taunts roll on the ground and in the skies while you’re dropping - hot or not.
SEE YOU ON THE DROPSHIP
We can’t wait to see which part of this season lights you up the most. Will Conduit channel you to victory with her Titan-full abilities? Will Storm Point usurp your current favorite map? Or maybe you were just in it for the new taunts all along. Stay tuned for our Patch Notes blog this Monday, October 30, for even more details and updates coming in Ignite.
Apex Legends Game
Apex Legends is a free-to-play game where players fight to be the last team standing. Developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, it was released on various platforms starting in February 2019. Players choose from a variety of characters, each with unique abilities, before heading into battle. The game has two modes: "Battle Royale" where teams compete to survive, and "Arenas" which is a team-based deathmatch. It's set in the same universe as the Titanfall series, and surprised players with its sudden release in 2019. Apex Legends gained popularity quickly and is now one of the most-played video games worldwide.
Apex Legends Gameplay
Apex Legends is an online multiplayer game where teams of three players, known as "Legends," with unique abilities, battle it out in a battle royale format. Players scavenge for weapons and gear while trying to stay inside a safe zone that shrinks over time. The last surviving team wins. Additionally, there's a mode called "Arena" where squads compete in a 3v3 team deathmatch, aiming to be the first to score at least 3 points with a lead of 2. This mode has a shop for players to buy equipment and abilities using earned materials.
