Someone or something has hacked into Olympus' Phase Runner, sending the floating city crashing downward and creating destabilizations across the city that modify the face up of the map: maybe forever. Players will experience a malfunctioning Olympus, with new terrain exposed and more than POIs than e'er. And that's not all!

• Expanded map; spreading squads out more then the map'due south center area (Labs/Estates) isn't the simply go-to combat zone each game and reducing the frequency of spontaneous 3rd-parties.

Players in the regular Play Apex queue volition driblet exclusively into Olympus for the starting time week of the season, after which nosotros'll add Storm Point and Kings Canyon into the rotation.

Storm Point updates

Wild animals update

It's now been a full season since we introduced PvE into Battle Royal and while we were happy with how wildlife launched, we've seen that Prowlers were a scrap too punishing and not quite rewarding enough.

Additionally, nosotros have seen some bad edge cases that create frustration for players that we're hoping to accost this flavour. Nosotros'll get more in depth on the exact details and our reasoning backside them in another blog, merely in curt:

• Prowler damage reduced from 30 to twenty and reduced knockback force.
• Increased Prowler Nest completion reward from 90 to 150 crafting materials (250 total for the large Prowler Nest in the center of the map).
• Note: Crafting rewards are divided eveningly to all squadmates nearby at time of immigration the nest. All players (regardless of squad) in the surface area become a share of the 250 crafting material advantage when the large Prowler Nest is cleared.
• Overhauled wildlife targeting rules to employ harm as the main factor which should assist wild fauna targeting feel more fair and less random.
• Introduced a targeting cap for Prowlers, and then just iii Prowlers will be able to target a role player at any fourth dimension.
• Prowler Den spawns are now disabled when at that place are two teams within of the same Nest (except for the massive Prowler Nest at the heart of the map).
• Prowlers are now neutral when outside the band unless engaged in combat.
• Prowler Dens are at present disabled outside the band if the Prowler Army camp is passive.
• Wandering Prowlers in the minor Wild animals Nests take been reduced from iii down to 2 and their wander radius is reduced past one-half until they are engaged in combat.
• Made some tweaks that should assistance squads articulate Prowler Nests quicker.
• Gave a slight increase to loftier tier consumable drops on all wildlife.

Drop Send pathing

While Storm Signal has a relatively salubrious spread of landing locations, we realized the typical drop ship logic ofttimes fabricated the high northeast corner of the map particularly tough to country in. Rotating the distribution and moving the centerpoint slightly northeast should brand Highpoint and Lightning Rod more accessible while nevertheless allowing players to state in the lower southwest portion if they want.

Each image beneath shows 400 driblet ship simulations, before and afterward the change:

Finally, a few miscellaneous changes:

• Improved wild animals gainsay versus vehicles. Targeting and harm now focuses on an occupied vehicle opposed to individual players in the vehicle
• Improved wild fauna interactions versus electrical abilities making stunning wildlife with Wattson's fences and Ash's tactical more reliable

Ranked update

In Apex Legends the principal goal is to be the last Fable standing, and racking up kills is the vehicle to get you lot in that location. Final flavor, we fabricated changes that opened up flexibility by compensating players with high kill counts that didn't necessarily identify kickoff.

We similar this flexibility, simply after observing the pacing of loftier-level ranked games, we saw players were focused on seeking out kills a piddling too much. Players that focus on fighting for higher placements and teamplay should be more faithfully awarded.

Change summary:

• Max Kill KP: 175 >>> 125
• Placement Points & Per Kill Bonus:

Points Awarded
Place	RP	Bonus RP per kill/assist
1	125	15
2	95	eleven
3	70	viii
4	55	five
5	45	5
half dozen	30	one
7	xx	ane
8	xx	1
9	10	1
ten	10	i
11	v	0
12	5	0
13	v	0
14+	0	0

Tier Delta	-3	-2	-one	0	1	ii	3
Kill/Assist RP	3	5	eight	10	12	fifteen	xx

This tuning is more than punishing to teams that undervalue placements. Nosotros're bumping up placement points for teams in the superlative five; easing back on the 'Kill KP Cap' and adjusting 'Per Kill Bonuses' to crave ~2-3 less Kills to hit the maximum.

Dissever ane volition be played on Olympus, and we'll movement over to Kings Canyon for Dissever 2 in April.

Advice FILTER

During this flavour nosotros'll be releasing a new feature where players volition exist able to determine which players they desire to receive voice and text chat from called Communication Filter. Players can observe the feature in the Options Menu nether Gameplay and will have 3 options to cull from.

• Everyone = You see and hear all Text / vocalization conversation from all players.

• Crypto no longer immediately accesses Drone View after deploying his Drone in this style.
• Pressing and property the [Tactical] button will launch the Drone forward in the same way, but and so Crypto will immediately access Drone View.
• Reduced Drone health from 60 -> 50.
• The HUD marker for the Drone has been tweaked to increase visibility.
• The HUD marker for the Drone is now ever displayed on-screen while the Drone is deployed (instead of only when the Drone was off-screen.
• Dev Notation:
• Crypto has been off the grid in terms of selection rate. The goal of these changes was to make his kit more than accessible and engaging. With a new deployment option, we lowered drone health to foreclose reckless drone deploy.
• Crypto is still a methodical, computing legend, and manually piloting Hack should withal be the primary mode to admission macro-level recon. The drone view HUD updates should help hither likewise. Crypto's never been weak per se; we're cognizant of his strengths at high-level play and volition be keeping an eye on his usage and performance.

Remainder changes – Caustic

Nox Gas Traps are at present destroyable after detonation

Noon Legends Update ane.84 Patch Notes

A pretty sizeable update hither which will roll out on December 7.  Highlights include plenty of issues fixes for Wattson and new legend Ash, balance changes for Seer and Arc Stars, and customisable reticle colours are beingness added. Nice.

• Ash will no longer "drain" when shot and now displays sparks [like Pathfinder and Revenant].

BALANCE CHANGES

Seer

• Decreased Focus of Attention detonation delay from one.6s to 1.4s
• Dev Note: Seer was dialed back to a healthier spot with the balance hotfix shortly after his release. Nonetheless, later on iv months of evaluating his use in the live game, the detonation filibuster seems a piddling as well sluggish. Nosotros want to meliorate its feel while continuing to evaluate the reveal meta equally a whole.

Arc Star

• Base stick damage lowered from 30 -> 10
• Shield Harm Multiplier increased from x3 -> x4 (stick on shielded enemy volition at present max out at 40 instead of 90)
• Sticking an enemy at present applies a irksome debuff (reverting Legacy update change)
• Slow duration is now driven by distance to the center of Arc Star detonation
• Dev Notation: Arc stars excel in a lot of areas. They have high impairment potential coupled with a punishing tedious, and can be thrown more accurately than other ordnance types. Removing the stick slow created some degenerate play patterns and oftentimes made it hard to tell when you got stuck in the heat of battle. Nosotros're bringing that back with a tradeoff of lower damage potential and a proximity based slow falloff in not-stick cases. These changes make stick scenarios more consistent across shield types and brand arc stars less effective at surface area denial.

Splatter Rounds

• Removed increased magazine chapters
• Dev Notation: Large Maude has been an awesome drop location and a reliable source of early ability for teams that win the hotdrop. However, the paintball weapons are proving to exist a fiddling too stiff and so we're going to remove the increased mag size but continue the handling improvements.

Apex Legends Flavour xi Escape patch notes

Here they are, the full patch notes for Apex Legends' Season 11: Escape update, which goes live on November two. We've got a new legend, a new map, ranked changes, weapon and legend balancing, and problems fixes all crammed into 1 update.

Here are the full Apex Legends Flavour eleven patch notes.

New Legend: Ash

A new Fable with a familiar face, Ash has overseen the Arenas from the shadows and held a tight grip on Pathfinder's heart. A simulacrum made from the woman who in one case was Dr. Ashleigh Reid, Ash is determined to eliminate every trace of weakness that held her back as a man.. Detecting death wherever she goes, spearing enemies with electrical snares that lock them in place, vehement through space to take more lives– information technology would exist easy to think that there was nothing homo left within that cold steel.

Only a trace of the human doctor remains, and she poses a greater threat to Ash than any Fable in the ring.

Here are Ash'southward abilities:

Marked For Decease (Passive)
Ash's map shows the location of contempo deathboxes. She gets a special prompt on a deathbox, use it to mark surviving attackers (once per box).

Arc Snare (Tactical)
Throw a spinning snare that damages and tethers the first enemy that gets too close.

Phase Alienation (Ultimate)
Tear open up a one-way portal to a targeted location. This portal stays open for a short time, during which anyone can apply it.

New map: Storm Point

This beautiful haven was once an energy colony for the IMC, and the ruins remain. Many take tried to make a home hither: all have failed. A survey of the surface area revealed the remains of three unique settlements congenital beyond the centuries, but no survivors.The colony lay abandoned, only visited by the occasional pirate or castaway. At present the Mercenary Syndicate has plans of their own for Storm Point.

Information technology looks so enticing, merely the pristine beaches and crystal waters are only the heart of the hurricane. All around, dangers swirl: wild prowlers, venomous spiders, and the gathering storms only add to the tension in the air. Now the Legends are hither to brand this identify their own.

So it looks like Storm Betoken is just going to get more than unsafe. Bank check out our web log with all the details hither.

Battle Royale map rotation

For the Escape update the map rotation will exist dorsum downward to 2 maps; Tempest Bespeak and Earth's Border. With Storm Point beingness a whole new map, nosotros want to make sure players take plenty of fourth dimension to master the new arena.

Arenas map rotation

With the introduction of Encore, the Arenas map rotation will now include only the custom made Arenas maps. Nosotros will not be using BR locations for Arenas in the Escape update.

New Weapon: C.A.R. SMG

When you lot're in a precarious place, you lot need a dangerous, flexible weapon: meet the C.A.R. SMG. The Gainsay Avant-garde Circular submachine gun is a fully automated weapon that takes adjustability to the next level by accepting either Lite or Heavy mags. The C.A.R. hits hard but handles light, this hybrid weapon's the best of both words for when you're ready to take a stand up and become the most dangerous thing on the island.

Ranked Updates

Hello, Legends! Permit'southward take a quick wait at how Ranked in Emergence shaped upwardly and review the changes coming in Escape. Ranked continues to attract a big portion of players (around 40% of all playtime!), but this doesn't mean nosotros can't look to make improvements.

Annotation: We fixed an issue where expired skydrive trails remained accessible for longer than they should have. These trails volition now expire on the intended seasonal cadence, as mentioned originally in the Ranked Series iii post (trails from Series 1 & two are yet grandfathered in).

Ranked Battle Royale

"Skill" in Noon can exist evaluated in all sorts of ways. Information technology's the amalgamation of gun skill, movement, positioning, sensation, legend mastery, and prevailing over everyone else as Champion that separates the lowly Statuary from Noon Predators.

With that in mind, we want to provide more than flexibility and dash to how players tin express skill when RP gains are at stake. Before Escape, measurements have been elementary and straightforward. Nosotros grant RP based on kill points and a placement multiplier. Now, we're easing back on some RP restrictions to offer other routes to max out kill-related RP in a match.

• Kill RP values now take differences betwixt killer/victim Ranked tiers into account.
• The impale RP cap (every bit we have traditionally thought virtually it upwards to this point) is effectively being raised from six to vii. Still, this impale-related RP cap tin can exist reached in different ways, depending on tier differences and placement. Placement is nevertheless paramount, and yous still must place first to have a chance at max total RP.

To aggrandize on the starting time point, tier differences between the killer and victim will be taken into business relationship when calculating baseline impale betoken value. For example, if a Plat player kills a Diamond player, that kill counts as 12 instead of ten RP.

Tier Departure	Kill Points Awarded
-3	3
-2	5
-1	8
0	10
1	12
2	fifteen
iii	xx

Some points of clarification:

• Victims exercise not lose more or less points when killed (in terms of entry cost). Only the killer receives the modifier.
• Apex Predator and Master are treated as the same tier.
• An encounter rate with someone of a 3+ tier deviation is ultra-rare (less than 0.i%). Ranked matchmaking is staying the same, then in general, you'll run across identical tiers. In cases where you squad upwardly with a different rank friend or merge into a different tier lobby, your KP will be adjusted appropriately.

Subsequently tier differences are taken into account for impale points, a flat per kill bonus is added based on placement.

Final Placement	Per Kill Bonus
i	15
two	10
3	x
4	5
5	five
half-dozen	two
vii	2
8	2
9	2
10	2
11+	0

The maximum impale signal RP is 175. Whatever impale-related RP that exceeds that after placement and tier modifiers are added doesn't affect total RP. The final step is to add a flat placement bonus. Enough with the math, let's explain these changes with an instance:

As a Platinum actor, you party upwardly with your Diamond friend and matchmake into a antechamber with similarly skilled players. You snag 2nd identify, with half-dozen kills (and/or assists) against Diamond players, and 3 on Plat players.

Each kill on those Diamond players is worth 12 points instead of the typical x, because they are one rank tier higher than y'all. That leaves the states with (12 × half dozen) + (x × 3) = 102 RP.

At present let's accept placement into business relationship. In second, the per kill bonus is 10, so our 9 kills (including assists) × 10 = 90 RP.

102 RP + ninety RP is greater than the 175 impale-based RP cap. We overachieved our way past the cap, and therefore rounded downward to 175 before applying the flat 60 RP placement bonus for second place. The total nosotros would receive for this match is 235 RP!

We're curious to see how these changes affect the ranked grind. Spring into Tempest Point this first split and let us know how they feel. Stay tuned; this is only the start of what nosotros take in store for Ranked improvements.

Ranked Arenas – Escape

Nosotros learned a lot from the offset flavor of Ranked arenas and are eager to bring you some improvements:

Arenas Ranked at present has 2 splits, similar to Ranked Boxing Royale
Along with each new flavor and split, there is a soft MMR reset and new placement matches. New seasons require the usual 10 placement matches while a new split up only requires 5 placement matches.
Improvements have been made to matchmaking for finding similarly skilled teammates.
Reduced the AP amount gained or lost from MMR differences between teams.

Dev note: The terminal calculated AP amount for a friction match is a gene of your current AP and MMR. It's also influenced past the MMR differences between teams. In practice, this difference was factoring in more than we wanted. I.e. Losing a lucifer you were slightly favored to win was giving a bigger AP loss than desired.

Residue CHANGES: Wattson

Move aside Ash, this is Wattson'southward season. We're ecstatic to finally share some long-anticipated Wattson improvements! Her win charge per unit and run into win rate have ever been above average. This could exist for a multitude of reasons; her defensive playstyle correlates to higher average placements, Wattson mains are diehard loyalists, and her hitbox has been the smallest in the game always since Lifeline's adjustment.

Regardless, much of the loftier-level data that nosotros've shared doesn't match perception. Play a few games as Wattson and y'all'll often find yourself wanting more than out of her kit. The goal of these changes is to redistribute her invisible power into the parts of her kit that shape the battlefield in a unique fashion. We wanted to see what changes could spark more consistency and efficacy in her kit, and ideally ground some of the difficulties surrounding the fashion her abilities piece of work.

We want to enable more agile gameplay from Wattson players by smoothing out the rough edges in placing fences. Responsiveness tweaks, longer range, and faster cooldowns means that Wattson can much more apace and reliably set up a defensive position, or even use her fences and pylon in the midst of open combat in a pinch.

General

• Improved the reliability and responsiveness of placing Wattson's Tactical and Ultimate in-globe objects.
• Wattson can place her Tactical and Ultimate objects on valid surfaces above Wattson's centre level (to a reasonable extent).
• General hitbox size increase, to compensate for the removal of low profile in the Legacy update.

Tactical – Perimeter Defence

• Increased impairment on crossing a Debate by 33%. (fifteen to 20)
• Increased debuff duration on crossing a Fence by 100%. (1.5 to 3 seconds)
• Increased the time allowance to be hitting again by a subsequent Debate result by 100%. (0.five to 1 second).
• Decreased recharge fourth dimension by 50% (30 to fifteen seconds).
• Increased placement range past fifty%.
• Decreased the filibuster betwixt Fences shutting off and reactivating afterward an marry passes through them by 60%. (1.0 -> 0.4 seconds)
• Wattson now moves at Unarmed-speed while readying/placing Fence nodes.
• Fence nodes tin can at present exist placed every bit soon every bit the weapon is readied, instead of waiting for the animation to finish.

Ultimate – Interception Pylon

• The Pylon output has been significantly reworked.
• Reduced the number of active Pylons Wattson can place from three to one.
• The Pylon now lasts forever (instead of timing out later 90 seconds).
• The Pylon now has a pool of 250 Shields that can exist distributed to nearby players, instead of effectively infinite Shields.
• Increased the Pylon shield recharge rate past 150%, and smoothed regen rate. (ii/second -> v/second, or more accurately: 1/0.v seconds -> 1/0.2 seconds)
• When a Pylon is out of Shields, information technology no longer recharges players' Shields, only can still zap incoming ordnance.
• Taking damage while regenerating Shields via the Pylon delays continued regeneration by 1 second.
• The UI on the footing and HUD elements now displays the amount of Shields that remain in the Pylon.
• Pinging a friendly Pylon will now display the pct of Shields remaining in the Pylon.
• Pylon ordnance-zapping has been moderately reworked.
• Ordnance is at present zapped when the Pylon detects that it would hit whatever surface within range and line of sight of the Pylon, instead of being zapped every bit soon every bit information technology comes inside range.
• Equally a office of the changes, current issues where the Pylon doesn't reliably zap ordnance (specially apropos airstrike abilities, and ordnance that bounced off surfaces near the Pylon) should at present exist addressed.

BALANCE CHANGES: WEAPONS / GEAR

Supply Drop rotation

EVA-8

Peacekeeper

• Slightly increased pellet size
• Choke up time reduced from 1.5s to 1.25s
• Choked up shots remain tight for slightly longer when exiting ADS
• Dev Note: When the PK came out of the crate we gave it a large sweep of nerfs to make certain the floor PK wasn't the crate monster we had all grown to know. In this pass, we swung a little hard and then nosotros're giving it a QOL and usability pass this season.

Longbow

• Damage reduced from 60 to 55

• Significantly reduced projectile collision size
• Impairment reduced from 18 to 17

G7 Sentinel

• Dev Annotation: With the G7 Lookout entering the supply drop we're giving it a crash-land to damage and adding dorsum on the retired Double Tap to give information technology some extra spice.

• Early game crate weapon rate increased from 25% to 50%
• Mid game crate weapon rate increased from fifty% to 75%
• Tardily game crate weapon rate increased from 75% to 100%
• Dev Note: Pushing a supply drop in the end game and whiffing on a weapon feels pretty rough. We desire to improve the reliability of getting crate weapons out of supply drops throughout all phases of the game. Don't worry, we're adjusting Kraber spawn rates accordingly to keep them in line.

Hot Zone gold loot rates

• Increased amount of gold loot that spawns in hot zones
• Dev Notation: Hot Zones tin sometimes feel a bit lackluster and then nosotros're injecting more than high-tier loot into these dynamic zones to make them more than enticing drop spots.
