The new Apex Legends Chronicles event is here, it’s called The Hard Call and it revolves around Bangalore. The first part of the event asks you to complete a new challenge. Here’s how you can complete the Scout of Action challenge.
We all have our Mains, our favorite Legends, and who doesn’t love all the little story details we occasionally learn about them? Since Respawn knows we still crave more insight into the lore of these characters, they’ve introduced Apex Chronicles.
Now, if you’re wondering what Chronicles are exactly, here’s the developer’s description: “They’re small story events that flesh out the world of Apex through gameplay challenges and experiences.” It’s really just a series of challenges, but you get new cutscenes and such. Here’s how to complete the first part of the new Apex Chronicles focused on Bangalore.
How do you complete the Scout of Action Challenge?
- Enter the shooting range as Bangalore.
- Approach the gun in the middle of the shooting range (between the assault rifles and the armor).
- You will be prompted to start the “Scout of Action Challenge” by pressing X (PlayStation), A (Xbox) or E (PC).
- When you begin the challenge, you will be in a blue square, and in front of you are several rows of targets that alternate between blue and red.
- Only hit the blue targets, not the red ones.
- If you hit 35 blue targets in less than 1 minute, you have passed the challenge.
What are the rewards for the Scout of Action Challenge?
You advance to the second part of No Hard Call and also get the picture of Bangalore in tears that you can see above and the stat tracker that you can see below. To be honest it’s a pretty boring stat tracker, but Apex Chronicles events aren’t really about grinding or high-end cosmetics either. Instead, they offer players the chance to learn more about some of their favorite legendaries. We like this idea, even though the Bangalore event probably won’t be as popular since she’s not one of the top legends.
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.
