During EA Play 2019, new details were revealed for Apex Legends, including a new mode, a new gun, a new legend, and Battle Pass season 2 updates.

Apex Legends is one of the best Battle Royale games on the market. When it first released, it took the gaming scene by storm with its surprise release. What makes Apex Legends stand out from the rest of the games in the genre is how it was able to add its own flair and style to the gameplay. For one, the implementation of different classes to choose from was great.

When it comes to the gameplay, you have to be very strategic with your team about what to do next because of the different classes as well. The ability to revive your teammates is also great since it gives you more incentive to stay in the game once you die. However, it’s safe to say the game has grown stale due to the lack of content and updates.

Thankfully, new content is coming, which current players will be pleased with. It’ll also bring back old players as well. First off, Battle Pass season 2, which is known as Battle Charge, is coming July 7. This’ll come with new cosmetics skins to choose from for both your legends and the weapons. A new weapon, the L-Star, was also revealed. Check it out below (along with the whole live stream):

The L-Star is a full-auto weapon and it’s very overpowered, apparently, since you mostly get it in airdrops.. It’s able to shoot through unopened doors, which is interesting since it hasn’t been seen in the game yet. So, it seems if you get this gun, your chances of winning grow exponentially.

A new ranked mode is also confirmed. There will be six divisions to go through, with Bronze being the lowest, and Apex Predator being the highest.

The biggest announcement, by far, was Wattson, the new playable legend. An animated short was released along with it.

From some gameplay footage, it seems she’s able to place some sort of defense barriers or fences, which seems it will prevent the enemy from walking through unharmed. However, it doesn’t damage your teammates, which is cool. It also pings your teammates of an enemies location if they do walk through. The downside is part of the fence disappears once your teammates goes through. It’ll have to be used strategically.

Her ultimate is able to stop bombardments and other explosives from enemies. It also gives your teammates a shield. Her passive, if you have ultimate accelerants in your inventory, will give you a 100 percent charge for your ultimate, which sounds a bit overpowered.

As for the map, Kings Canyon, some changes will be coming to it over the next month. If there was ever a time to keep playing or return to Apex Legends, it’s now.
