In the last few seasons, the developers of Apex Legends Opened up the game with a massive new map and adding a temporary game mode that swaps battle royale action for a more traditional team deathmatch. On 10 May, they are introducing another new legend to the arena with Newcastle making changes that can help players focus on teamwork.
season 13 Apex Legends holds the title Protector, which matches Newcastle’s kit of abilities which is all about keeping his teammates alive longer to help them win battles. While several leaks over the past few months have spoiled some of the surprises, seeing them in action is a whole different thing. He has a passive ability that’s unlike any character we’ve seen before, with the ability to not only shield downed comrades while reviving them, but he can also drag them to safety. If Newcastle is carrying a higher level knockdown shield, the shield’s power level is increased, which adds another tweak to an often overlooked item.

His tactical ability that players can use from time to time between cooldowns is a hovering energy shield. We didn’t get any play time to try it out, but from what the developers said during the briefing, it looks like it’ll be easy to control during battle, allowing players to move on enemies or wield shields to protect them. Allows to rotate and move. while retreating. In a game where the “third party” can change things a lot by having a controllable shield to cover the extra angles whenever shots are fired.
In the end, his ultimate ability sees Newcastle jumping long distances, slamming his shield to the ground, and quickly building a “castle wall” for defense. This was highlighted in the trailer for the new season where he was introduced, but a key element of playing Newcastle is that you’ll be able to cover even greater distances by targeting your teammates before activating it, which Will take them higher and further for them.

While other legends have abilities that can help their teammates, this one actually uses them to make them better, so maybe the next random one you’re in with all three is actually working together. Will consider As always, while the game itself is free to play, unlocking new characters requires 12,000 Legend Tokens that players can earn by playing the game or with 750 Apex Coins. Coins you can also earn in-game in a variety of ways, but most can be obtained by purchasing them, with prices starting at $9.99 for 1,000 coins.

Team play is a theme for the new season, as it largely applies changes to the Storm point map and a new approach to scoring and progression for anyone looking to dive into the ranking gameplay. The Storm Points map seemed to solve the problem of frequent third parties, but it has been criticized by some players and streamers as some said they could move around the map for the entire match and not see. can anyone. For the new season, “a detailed global tuning pass was key to improving overall minute-to-minute gameplay”, based on telemetry and player data gathered since adding it.
There’s a new spot on the map, as the giant sea creature killed in the Season 13 trailer is now part of the action in the form of a “Down Beast” POI, which should give players all the more reason to visit an unknown corner of the map. The other big change players will see will come from the four IMC Armories that have risen from the underground. with callback Titan fall In the game, they are an opportunity for the squad to enter and fight waves of Specter robots for 60 seconds. The more robots you lay down, the more gear you get as a reward, before you can move yourself across the map from the arsenal. The doors lock when the players are inside, so you don’t have to worry about getting interrupted by other squads before it’s over.
In the end, all the rest is coming in the midst of change. Apex Legends In the new season, Respawn has announced a top-down change in the way players score scores in ranking mode.
As we noted when it was introduced in 2019, Ranked Mode invites you to accumulate points based on how many other players you kill or where your team ends up in each round. In general, the longer you stay, the more points you’ll get, and the more players you kill, the more points you’ll get. If your teammate gets a kill, it doesn’t affect your score until you are able to get credit for the assist. As you move up to a higher rank, you can get more points, but starting each game costs you points, so unless you perform well, you won’t go up. For experienced players the key is to keep the game fresh and give them a target to move forward.

In the current season, the developers changed the scoring to reward players for overtaking their most opponents, but this caused some problems as players could level up by hiding until the end of the match with only a few teams left. simultaneously, Apex Legends Players ranked higher, starting to lose more points than they could potentially return a season, had little incentive to maintain the same level of effort or work with their teammates.
Under the new system, striving to rise through the ranks to become the top hunter will have more to do with your team’s performance than ever before. Respawn breaks down the changes here, but just for scoring, the number of points you get for a kill will now change depending on how you finish. If you kill several opponents but still end up early, that is, in the eyes of the developers, a disadvantage, and you will lose points instead of gaining them. On the other hand, if you stick to the last two or three teams but don’t manage to kill anyone, the points you get won’t be nearly enough to help you make real progress.
Plus, players will now get points whenever someone on the team is killed. Whether you’re doing nothing across the map or being a team player like me who shoots bravely so your teammates have a chance to attack from the flank, you’ll be rewarded. Players can also drop out of the level they are in if they lose enough points. With all the changes combined, it seems like the highest levels available will be harder to achieve, but in a way that rewards those who play the game more appropriately.
Otherwise, the response Has been confirmed He Apex Legends Mobile It will launch on Android and iOS later this month, but there aren’t many other details available about it yet. We also haven’t heard about any improvements or changes coming to the 4K console versions of the game starting in late March. Apex Legends: Saviors Season 10 will be available at its launch on May 13 for Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
