The Battle Royale shooter Apex Legends might get its fourth Town Takeover event this month. After the legends Octane, Wraith and Mirage, it could be the turn of tracker Bloodhound in – Season 4.
Apparently, players of Apex Legends will soon get to experience the fourth Town Takeover event. There are at least some hints in the game files of the override update.
What are the Town Takeover events in Apex Legends?
With these special events, the developers usually redesign rather unpopular areas of the map in the style of individual legends. This is supposed to provide a breath of fresh air in the hard-hitting shooter routine and attract players to areas that are usually dead in the water.
The first was Octane’s Gauntlet – a race track peppered with jump pads and a ring of fire in the middle, which entices players with purple or gold equipment. By the end of 2019, the legends Wraith and Mirage were also honored with their own events, before it became quiet around the Town Takeovers.
Will the fourth Town Takeover revolve around Bloodhound?
As dataminers have now discovered, the next event of this kind might not be far away. Hints about Bloodhound’s Town Takeover have been in the game’s code for quite some time, but since the launch of the system override event, more details can be found in the game files.
According to dataminer Shrugtal, the first in-game teasers should point to the event as early as the end of March.
This also allows for first speculations as to when the new Town Takeover event might start. So far, developer Respawn Entertainment started dropping the first hints about a week before the events start. This means that Bloodhound’s hour could strike around April 7.
Where could the event take place?
The game starts – Season 4: Assimilation Split 2 today, so until the end of the – Season , the battles in Apex Legends will take place on the popular King’s Canyon map. Does this indicate that Bloodhounds Town Takeover could also be played on the original map?
Probably not, because while King’s Canyon is returning for the Ranked Series, the second map, World’s Edge, is also expected to remain available. Also, it’s unlikely that the Town Takeover event will be made available only to competitive players.
If it does, it could conceivably be placed in the marshes or swamps to the east of the map, as both areas fit the Bloodhound tracker lore perfectly.
On World’s Edge, on the other hand, the areas west of the Skyhook, as well as around The Dome, have remained mostly unused so far and would therefore perfectly fit the look of the hunter.
Either way, the announcement of Bloodhound’s Town Takeover is just a formality and should be coming soon. Until then, we can find out about the best weapons in – Season 4 so that everything goes smoothly at the event.
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.
