Apex Legends is back at it again with some juicy updates for Season 24, and I couldn’t be more excited. After a whirlwind six years of epic battles and unforgettable moments, we’re gearing up for Takedown, launching on February 11.
In a recent developer update video, Evan Nikilich, the design director, spilled the beans about returning fan-favorite modes like Three Strikes and Solos. Who doesn’t love a good surprise? Plus, they’re throwing in some quality-of-life tweaks everyone’s been asking for.
“We are thrilled to announce we are partnering with our community in a new way,” Nikilich said. This means your beloved creators will help curate challenges and rewards! Imagine getting exclusive Legendary weapon skins picked by your favorite streamers. That sounds like a blast!
The big news? A shiny new weapons system called Arsenals. Forget rummaging through loot boxes like you’re on an Easter egg hunt; now you can find Arsenal stations across the map offering every weapon of a single ammo type. Talk about cutting out the chaos! “Arsenals take the guessing game out of looting,” said Nikilich. Finally!
A little birdie told me that Steve Ferreira, the game director, is also tackling matchmaking and anti-cheat systems in this update. Players have been vocal about their concerns, so it’s refreshing to hear they’re listening closely to feedback.
“With this milestone, we want to assure our players that we are listening,” Ferreira mentioned. It feels nice to know they care! This year promises actions based on what matters most, like ensuring fair matchmaking and keeping cheaters at bay while rolling out fresh content.
