It’s Wednesday – and that means a new quest in Apex Legends PvE mode. This time players can return to Skulltown and see it for the last time.

The Broken Ghost quest series, which was introduced with – Season 5 of Apex Legends, is still running. Every week, players get a new quest and have to dig up another Artifact. This time it’s Return to Skulltown.

Skulltown was removed in – Season 5 – it’s now a gaping hole in the sea, having apparently sunk. However, thanks to the current quest, fans can relive their old favorite place. The hunt drops you on one side of Skulltown and you have to make your way to the destination. The initial gear here is pretty solid, as players start with upgraded versions of the R-301 and RE-45. It’s a good idea to check out the nearby buildings, as golden equipment can be found in the first building. Prowlers along the way won’t be much of a challenge if you can halfway aim, but even if you get surrounded, there’s plenty of high ground to retreat to. Pathfinder is an excellent choice here, as its tactical skills will easily get you out of trouble.

The quest’s sought-after drill is also located high up, on top of a building. Once you get there, you do the usual: activate the drill and survive for a minute to get the Artifact. Loot boxes around the Harvester contain golden weapons like the Mastiff, which makes it easy to deal with the hordes of shadow lurkers. After the quest, you get “The Shattered Spirit” .

The Broken Ghost Quest will reach its long-awaited finale in two weeks, but players may already know the big twist in the story… Apex Legends leaker Shrugtal revealed an interesting piece of information found during the last hunt:

Even though the name might be hard to make out, it’s definitely there and spells “Ash”. Ash was one of the antagonists in the single-player campaign of Titanfall 2. For those who didn’t know, Apex Legends is historically seen as a continuation of Titanfall. Respawn Entertainment developed both titles, and it’s been clear for some time that both games take place in the same universe. The developers have also previously left clues leading to Ash – like the name Vinson Dynamics in one of the earlier hunts. There are still two hunts left until the conclusion of Broken Ghost – maybe there will be a surprise after all?

What is actually… “Apex Legends?

Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?

What is “Apex Legends” about?

Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.

• Genre: Battle Royale shooter
• Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.

At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.

To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.

Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight heroes, each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.

Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and call in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value weapons and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.

How can I play Apex Legends?

Platform: “Apex Legends” is available for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.

Price: The battle royale shooter is a “Free to Play” title and can basically be played for free on all platforms.

In-game purchases: “Apex Legends” allows the purchase of cosmetic items and new heroes either by means of in-game currency, which can be earned for free in every round, or with real money. The real-money currency “Apex Coins” can be purchased in five different amounts: The smallest possible amount is 1000 Apex Points for around 9.99 euros, while the largest pack with 10,000 Apex Points content costs 99.99 euros.

The developer emphasizes that it is not possible to buy game advantages with the help of real money: You can only use it to customize the appearance of the heroes, it says, or purchase new heroes.

Age rating: “Apex Legends” does not have a youth rating (USK 18).

Which technical terms should you know?

Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain locations on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.

Jumpmaster: At the beginning of the game, one of the maximum three players of a team always takes on the role of the jumpmaster. He decides when and where his team enters the game area.

Ping: Using the middle mouse button, players can alert their teammates to interesting locations in the game world or enemies. These pings are a valuable tool for communicating quickly and efficiently within the team.
