Apex Outside: New Episode – Battle Night!

Another episode of Stories From the Outlands was released yesterday and is titled Fight Night. The plot revolves around Pathfinder and sheds some light on the friendly robot’s backstory.

The story of another character in Legends has been released with a new episode of Stories from the Outlands. This time it’s about Pathfinder, the protagonist of the upcoming Collection Fight Night – and fittingly, the episode bears the same name. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out before you read on – otherwise spoilers may ensue!

The story takes place at an unknown time, but definitely in the past. Victor Maldera is a retired police officer who now works as a security guard. Not too long ago, he was searching for Nox aka Caustic, but he was presumed dead. However, all that changes when he meets Pathfinder, the mafia and some old memories.

Is Victor Maldera becoming a legend in Apex?
The former cop in the episode was hell-bent on catching Nox. Since this is a flashback, there is a small chance that we will see more of Maldera. Whether he will be a legend remains to be seen, but so far there are no hints.

Who is Amelie P.?
In one of Pathfinder’s memories, we see a woman named Amelie P. and she is presumably the creator of the robot. But who is she? If you just look at her name, it bears a strong resemblance to another legend in Apex – Wattson.

Wattson’s full name is Natalie “Wattson” Paquette, which is Natalie P. Coincidence? We think not, and that would mean the woman from the episode was most likely Wattson’s mother. What happened to her is unknown, but maybe we’ll find out in the future.

Fight Night
Unfortunately, the cinematic trailer titled Fight Night didn’t really reveal much about the Collection event of the same name. This will reportedly take place in early January, right after the Holo Day Bash ends. We’ve already told you everything you need to know about it here.

What is actually… “?

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 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 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.
