Apex Legends Season 4 - What you need to know.

War, War never changes... unless you're playing Apex!

Change is coming to Worlds Edge in Season 4, find out whats in store below.


Map changes


The Planetary Harvester has touched down and brought with it the utter destruction of Worlds Edge - Season 3's new map. In some places City streets have been replaced with molten lava, collapsed structures and ruins - though Respawn have opted not to go for the instadeath angle with lava - instead opting for 25 damage per contact, hoping this will see it used in strategy rather than just an 'avoid at all costs' addition to the map.

Check out some examples of the changes below

You can even try your hand at finding the new weapon racks with 100% guaranteed weapon loot at locations like the new the survey camp (below). Ensuring you no longer deal with the early game I-need-a-gun rush, where the difference between life and the player lobby, is which crate you or the other guy opened - hint: you'll always pick the wrong one.


The New Legend


Season 3 gave us 'Crypto' - a Legend comparable to Sombra of Overwatch who was granted the use of a drone for his main ability and a definite John Woo inspiration, he was met with a varied mix of praise and hate over both his ability and utility on the battlefield.


Season 4 looks to be taking it up a notch with 'Revenant' - a Legendary Assassin with what looks like Enhanced melee prowess, and the Ultimate ability to take a shadow form similar to what we saw in the Apex Halloween event - possibly even sharing this ability with his team.


Needless to say - this is going to be one hotly contested legend in the character select menu with powers of invulnerability and many other assassin-esque traits.


But don't take my word for it, take a look at Revenant's character trailer below:


Battlepass


The Battlepass is back again for the cost of 950 Apex Coins (1000 Apex coins pack for $11.95 AUD). While Season 3's theme was undoubtedly Fire & Ice - Cyberpunk is the Theme of Season 4.

The Battlepass includes:

  • Legend Skins

  • Weapon Skins

  • Weapon Charms

  • Emotes

  • Loot Crates

  • Banner Poses

  • Apex Coins

  • And much more

If you've watched the trailer already, you had a brief glimpse of some of Season 4's new skins. Take a closer look below and commence praying for those Gold Crates.


Wraith — Perfect Soldier


Wattson — Cyberpunked


Lifeline — Health Drain


Crypto - [Unknown]


Caustic - Cyber Sludge [Free Gold Teir - No Pass needed]


There also appears to be a Pathfinder skin and many more not featured in the trailers.

New Weapon


The Sentinel Sniper Rifle

Respawn is also adding one new weapon to the game in Season 4. The Sentinel Sniper Rifle. It’s described as a highly accurate and powerful weapon with an added bonus - you can use a shield battery to charge it up for an extra powerful shot.


I'm sure this will quickly become the bane of many players.


Login Freebies

If all of the above still wasn't enough to get you interested in Season 4 - Respawn is giving away a free gift to all players who login between now and February 11th.


It includes:

  • Year 1 Origami Flyer charm

  • Year 1 Loyalty badge

  • 10k XP for your first match of the day (available each day)

The Loyalty badge comes in 3 different flavors depending on when you took your first leap from the drop ship, so feel free to flex on all your latecomer buddies.
