With the launch of – Season 5, Respawn Entertainment added many new features to Apex Legends. One of them was the bunkers with loot and secrets. Now a second one of them finally opens its doors….
In Apex Legends – Season 5: Fortune’s Favor, the focus is mainly on one thing: Loot, Loot, Loot. Spiced with a touch of mystery and story. Besides the newly introduced PvE mode, normal games also get their share of it: through the bunkers. The first one was already revealed with the first trailer for – Season 5 – Loba could enter here with her tactical and especially thieving skills. Fortunately, the other Legends can also enter the bunker. Inside the bunker, players found a golden knockdown shield and a mobile respawn beacon.
The second bunker in Apex
The second bunker opened today is located near the river, southwest of The Cage. So what is inside it? First, we need to open it – fortunately, this is quite easy: just press the button next to the hatch. Then, when you drop down, you can loot everything you find. As for equipment, there’s a golden Prowler and a mobile respawn beacon to dust off. The interesting part, however, is the lore: for instance, players will also find a recording left by Crypto’s sister. Of course, to listen to the recording, you have to play with Crypto, as the message can only be activated with the drone. Not much is known about the hacker, as his backstory mostly remains a mystery. However, why he participated in Apex Legends games and many other questions might be answered soon.
Today, the official Twitter account of Apex Legends made a post regarding the log. With this, the developers basically confirmed that the voice in the recording is that of Crypto’s sister. So what’s next for the game?
Chances are we’ll find out more by the end of the month. Two more bunkers are scheduled to open later this month – and we’re pretty sure they’ll also contain a golden version of an item, as well as a mobile respawn beacon. To that end, we also expect to see more hints about past and future lore. Whether there will be details about the next – Season , – Season 6, remains to be seen.
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.
