Apex Legends is currently creating some hype. Yes, – Season 5 is coming! A series of teasers is now increasing the anticipation, just like the leaked Mirage rework. And now Loba is supposed to go live as well….
Loba, the mysterious thief we’ve been expecting for a few months now, will probably make her debut on World’s Edge tomorrow, April 28. At least, that’s what the latest leaks confirm. The rumor mill was already bubbling in February, and the first images and animations were spooked:
According to data miner ILootGames, Loba is part of the planned teasers for Apex Legends – Season 5 and should reach us this week. To what extent Loba will interact with players, whether there will be an in-game event or more, we don’t know yet.
In-game teaser of Loba
However, we can assume that Respawn Entertainment will do with Loba similar to what they did with Crypto, which they announced with a series of in-game teasers. However, Loba is said to be a bit more sparse and each player is supposed to see these hints only a few times. There are streams that have supposedly recorded a wolf in the game running in the distance. Since Loba translates to “wolf,” this could be one of the sparser teasers for it. But where exactly the wolf or other clues about Loba can be found is still uncertain. Some leaks point to Wraith’s Town Takeover location labs.
Loba’s abilities
Loba has already been seen in some clips from Apex Legends, when she was still a little girl who had to witness the death of her parents. Now she’s apparently grown up and craves revenge… The following abilities are supposed to help her in this:
- Burglar’s Best Friend: Throw a disc at a location and teleport to the spot.
- Supply for Demand: Select a type of loot and then be able to see it through walls
- Black Market Boutique: Through a device, Loba can steal loot from enemies
- Eye of Quality: Loba can look through nearby walls to find loot
If these aren’t the skills of a gifted thief…. We are already curious what we will find out about Loba tomorrow or if Respawn Entertainment wants to keep us in suspense even longer.
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.
