Apex: Skull City, Psamathe and “thicc” Loba

The – Season 5 launch trailer hit like a bomb – and they hit hard in the trailer, too. The video, which also reveals a lot about the next – Season , has over 4 million views…

If that wasn’t a success… The for – Season 5 already has almost 4.3 million views, and the trend is rising. Obviously, the anticipation for the next – Season is unbroken – and the video gives some deep insights into the new Legend Loba and the expected map changes.

Bombing Skull Town
– Season 5: Favor of Fate sets its sights on one of the most popular drop locations and combat areas. In Loba’s sights to be exact: The beginning of the trailers shows Loba getting her revenge and bombing Skull Town in the process. It seems that there is a Revenant factory underneath Skull Town – and Loba wants to destroy it. How this will play out in Apex Legends remains to be seen, but fans should enjoy Skull Town as it is now as much as possible until May 12.

Will we get to Psamathe in – Season 5?
If you stop the trailer where Loba’s shots shatter the glass, you’ll see text that reveals a transfer in progress. Where will the evil head (literally) of evil be taken? The guess is Psamathe – the home planet of Lifeline and Octane. Some players believe that this could give you another map in – Season 5. But it could also just show how far evil is rooted in the universe of Apex Legends, how many hiding places it has. We probably won’t know until May 12.

“Thicc” Loba in Apex Legends – Season 5
So there she is, the game’s “curvy” new legend. And yes, apparently her design has caused a stir among some players. They call her “thicc” or “thick” Loba, a slang for curvy. Yes, Loba definitely seems to have grown up…. Still, no need to call her the next Kim Kardashian. Anyone who fights like that and can teleport anywhere just needs to eat and is athletic. Please no bodyshaming!

We’re looking forward to everything that’s coming up on May 12. Not even one more week and Apex Legends – Season 5 will be here.

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 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.
