The first teasers for Apex Legends 5

The second half of the Ranked – Season in is slowly coming to an end and we are eagerly awaiting the 5th – Season . Respawn has already left some hints for this…

With The Old Ways behind us, we have a few weeks until the next big thing in Apex Legends. Fans and data miners have already noticed some of the first hints left by the developers. Over the last year, has become more and more known for keeping things hidden. Past and Present.

The – Season 5 Teaser
If you’ve spent more time at World’s Edge than in Kings Canyon, you may have stumbled across something interesting: In The Dome, you can find a device that resembles a phone and contains some interesting information. The clue was discovered by /u/HIRUZENandENMA and published by the well-known data miner iLootGames.

Unless you press pause at the right moment, it’s hard to tell what exactly the device is showing. Shrugtal provided a screenshot with the details:

We see the familiar name “Singh Labs” added as part of the Voidwalker event. Labs has expanded the backstory and portals of Wraith. If Singh Labs is the entry point, could this possibly lead to a new map, an anomaly, or just the next clue? Shrugtal seems to think that there will be a total of three devices in each game.

Once these are collected, an event will be triggered on the map. The most obvious conclusion from this teaser is that players will be able to go deeper into the underground facility. What’s really interesting is that the Singh Labs are located in Kings Canyon, while the clue itself is found at World’s Edge. It wouldn’t be too far-fetched if the two maps could somehow be combined through the portals in the facility. Or you could get to a completely new map.

At this point, this is all speculation, but considering that Ranked – Season ends on May 5, we should be getting more updates from Respawn in the coming weeks. Previously, iLootGames hinted that the next Legend we’ll get will be Loba.

At this rate, we could expect another hint from Respawn soon, which might even include a lead to Loba. The last time we saw her was in the trailer of Revenant, when she was still a little girl. Now that is no longer the case.

– Season 5 will probably arrive in early May and knowing the developers, they will probably announce another dev stream just before the launch.

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.
