This is how you complete the third part of Bangalore’s new Apex Legends Chronicle event: You’ll shoot down a lot of targets enveloped in their smoke grenades.
We all have our Mains and our favorite Legends, right? So the little backstories we sometimes get about them are really special. Respawn knows that we’re always happy to get a glimpse into the lives of our characters, so they’ve introduced Apex Chronicles.
If you’re wondering what exactly these Chronicles are, I’ll let the developers speak for me: “They’re little story events that tell you more about the world of Apex in the form of gameplay challenges and player experiences.” So it’s basically a sequence of challenges, but peppered with new cutscenes and the like. We’re going to show you how to complete the third part of Bangalore’s Apex Chronicles.
How do you complete the Smoke Show Challenge?
- Go with Bangalore to the Firing Range.
- Approach the pistol between the Energy Weapons and the Special Weapons (it is closer to the targets than any other equipment).
- A hint will prompt you to start the Smoke Show Challenge. Do this by pressing X (PlayStation), A (Xbox) or E (PC).
- Once the challenge starts, you’ll find yourself in a blue square and in front of you is an area shrouded in smoke. Only one enemy is visible to you in the center.
- Shoot the first target and the challenge will begin. All you have to do now is shoot the enemies you see darting through the smoke.
- If you cause more than 1250 damage in one minute, you have completed the challenge.
You can find out if you actually won by looking at the scoreboard in your HUD and seeing the total damage. Here is a short video tutorial for the challenge:
What do you get for completing the Smoke Show Challenge?
You unlock the mission “The Finale” when you complete this Apex Chronicle, as well as the artwork from the cover and the stat tracker you can see below. It’s not exactly an exciting stat tracker, sure, but Apex Chronicles isn’t about unlocking the very coolest cosmetics. Instead, players get a chance to learn more about their favorite Legends. That’s a great idea, too, except that this Chronicles event probably isn’t that popular, since Bangalore isn’t a Fan Favorite either.
However, the mission “The Finale” is the main reward. You’ve got something to look forward to there. We’ll just say this much here: if you’re into Apex Lore, you’ll be thrilled with how much effort went into this mission.
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.
