Apex Legends Prime Time Patch Notes

As EA and Respawn release their latest addition to the Apex Legends franchise, they also released new patch notes which are applicable throughout all the games including their PC and Console Counterparts

So without further ado, here are the Prime Time Patch notes for Apex Legends in order to celebrate the release of Apex Legends Mobile :-

New Legend : Fade

With an amazing backstory revolving around his family who used to ‘recover’ special weapons and sell them to the highest bidders who later got killed after Fade took a contract with a mysterious client, Fade is the latest Legend being dropped into World’s Edge. Here are his abilities :

Passive : Slipstream

Fade gains a short movement speed boost at the end of his slide.

Tactical : Flashback

Fade’s suit rips him backwards through another dimension, phasing him to his previous location.

Phase Chamber

When activated, Fade throws and activator core from his suit. The resulting explosion makes everyone in it’s radius phase out and unable to deal or receive damage.

New GameMode : Advance Training Level

According to the blogpost by EA, This gamemode will help people in practising the more difficult maneuvers in the game hence making them better at it. After all, Practice makes perfect!

Weekly Challenges

The game will also introduce weekly challenges which will allow players to gain in game rewards so that they can hone their skills in the game. These challenges will rotate weekly.

New Arena Map : Overflow

A new arena map is also being brought into the fix in the form of Overflow which is said to have tight corners, lanes and amazing flanking opportunities. You would also be dead if you jump into the lava so be careful where you press your spacebar or you might get burnt!

New Feature : Team Fill

You’ve been there, you’ve had one of those teammates who simply quits in the middle of a game and you are left feeling frustrated. Well Ea is going to take care of that now by adding a new player in case one disconnects. This will however, only work in the Team Deathmatch mode.

Shop Updates

According to EA, you can complete challenges to unlock levels and rewards in the Apex Legends Mobile Battlepass. In Apex Legends: Mobile, items are tiered from D to S. Unlock the “Vermin Control” skin for Caustic and the “SOS Signal” for the Kraber just by starting the pass. Along the way, Gibraltar’s “Gentle Giant”, Mirage’s “Graffiti Artist”, “Ready for Impact” Pathfinder and the “Authorized Personnel Only” Havoc. You’ll also earn banner frames, holosprays, emotes, trackers, weapon charms and more.

The Battle Pass also gives players opportunities to unlock Fade. By reaching level 25 in the free Battle Pass or purchasing 10 levels of the premium and then attaining 15 more normal levels, he’ll join the Roster.
