Mirage could be the first Legend in Apex Legends to get a proper rework. New leaks suggest that changes planned by Respawn could mean a complete rework.
The legend with the holograms has struggled to find its place in the meta from the beginning. The fact that even the new legends Revenant and Wattson outclass him in almost every way doesn’t make it any easier for him. His large hitbox as well as his rather limited abilities make him an increasingly unpopular pick. Mirage’s win rate dropped to just 2.4% lately, which is pathetic indeed.
Apart from some minor bug fixes, Respawn hasn’t changed anything about Mirage for a long time, which drove the legend’s fans to fury. They demand that Mirage should be saved. One fan even submitted his own suggestions for improving the Legend.
Basically, he proposes a revision of all abilities so that the holograms, which are currently very easy to spot, look a bit more realistic. Of particular interest is the request that his Ulti be replaced with the “Emergency Dance Party” from the Dummies Big Day game mode during the Grand Soiree event. This would mean that the Ulti spawns five holograms, which then mimic the real character’s movements.
Now, data miner ILootGames has published a video talking about a possible planned rework of Mirage:
He says that buffs for Mirage are confirmed by Respawn and that he will most likely get the aforementioned “Emergency Dance Party” as an ability. However, he doesn’t know if this is meant to be a tactical ability or a replacement for his Ulti. ILootGames also reiterates that it won’t just be a buff, but a complete rework of the Legend.
Since major changes have always been accompanied by major updates in the past, we can probably hope that the rework will be introduced with – Season 5. Of course, the changes can change significantly until the release, but this is only a leak. Respawn has only confirmed that they will take care of Mirage.
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.
