I hope they put in some changes to KC before they add it to ranked. I'd probably like to see a mini-captiol with large multi-floor buildings and some underground tunnels.

Basically places that aren't an instant 3rd party-fest.

maxed out the soiree points, these havoc skins are pretty nice. kinda wish there was something a bit more for hitting 5500 instead of another variation of it though.

That feeling when you complete a match and finish off 4 battle pass challenges at the end of it

I'm missing out on so many of these limited times modes cause I can't play much these days :/ I was also hoping to get further than Platinum but I don't think I can reach Diamond in time.

Yes Kings Canyon needs changed I feel before ranked. You can fly almost anywhere on the map regardless of the flight path. It'll be so easy to get points in ranked. I was rolling through teams with crypto last night. One area I destroyed several other teams and information just kept coming from his drone. They had no time to find it and it's easy to hide in the canyon. And this is with it being dark and glowing orange! You can put the drone under buildings, near crevices, behind little rock formations. I've been good at him and hiding it on World's Edge but this is way easier. I can't imagine how many assists you can get with him in the new season. Just one emp and you may hit 6 enemies and destroy several traps on Kings Canyon easily. I could see that happening often as well.

I mean overall it's fun and I enjoy the map; however it needs maybe one city area. Possibly outside and attached to the slums area would be great and make it look intricate and a massive city. Also if they can add some more land space and changes to the environment it would work. Add an all out jungle area with a fair amount of forest and cover.

The movement around the map is so quick and all this is without balloons being available.

I actually think an objective mode would be way better for Apex. The train event at xmas was a good idea but I'd love to see a proper escort mode similar to Overwatch.

Capture the flag with the balloons and maybe rotating various capture/base points across the map could work as well. Make it where the flag doesn't immediately return upon touch so it can create some interesting battles at random points around the maps used. Warkawk was great for this on PS3.

Yeah done with the KC mode. Much prefer World's Edge. Yeah, Dome/Lava City is a dead area, but one balloon and you're in the hot spot of that choke point of Sorting/Fuel/Capitol. And judging by the construction signs a lot of the empty areas are planning on being removed.

And as I've said 100 times in this thread already, KC's interior building design is awful. Bunker is...interesting but other than that, the shacks and outskirt buildings seems so haphazardly put together.

All negativity aside, I'm REALLY excited/curious about tomorrow's game mode. I'm hoping the popular theory of it being an AI testing ground for the imminent PVE mode is true. (And hopefully that mode comes with season 4! It sounds insane!)

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the Apex Twitter just posted


There is a spoilery image in the replies and it's basically what I said on the other page
Have Forge do some sort of presser about joining the games since he's corporate sponsored(And we've seen the stage in game), pod in the sky drops down out pops Revenant and he gets taken out on TV.

I don't know if it's the weekend, king's canyon, or both but I sure am encountering a lot of selfish, non communicative, disconnects-the-second-they're-downed teammates today 😔

I think I'm done with this game. Not at fault with the game itself, but I'm just sick of the BR formula.

I'll likely still play a match here or there, but I'm done committing serious time to this.

I'd love if they brought out non-BR modes with these characters though.

The event mode is way more difficult than regular for me. I'd love to know what they did to SBMM in it. Maybe it's off and I just suck. A frightening thought.

Overall this was their best event so far. Huge variety of game modes, high-quality cosmetics, great pacing, nice free rewards.

Quick question. If I get Origin Premier and I get the Battle Pass through it, will the Battle Pass go away if my Premier sub ends? I would assume so but thought I'd double check.

Do you mean if you use the 1000 bonus coins to purchase the BP? If that's the case then no, the coins are "yours" and you keep anything you buy with them.

I'm on PS4 but I found the website that explains the Origin Premier here. The offer expired in June 2019 though...

Not quite, I'm referring to the offer that's exclusive to Origin Premier (only on PC).

Bring the heat with Premier


Join Premier and get the Battle Pass for Season 3 – Meltdown as part of your subscription. Plus, save 10% on all digital purchases–including Apex Coins–and get instant access to a huge collection of games.​
I assume they'll offer the battle pass for season 4 as well which is what I'm interested in. But if we can keep the Battle Pass even after a monthly sub runs out then it's a great deal.

This is gonna be so satisfying to see Forge get killed by Revenant, I truly hope it'll happen now.
For more context about why Bangalore, Pathfinder and Gibraltar mains are angry at Forge:






Bangalore's answer in particular, is pretty iconic!

Waiting five minutes for enough people to join my ranked game only for my team mates to quit out really takes it out of you.

I'm purposely tanking in Silver/gold next season and I'm not even ashamed of it.

I don't understand why they can't just leave King's Canyon up and let people choose between the two maps. At the very least make it a rotating mode in the game where it stays up for 2 weeks and goes away. There should always be an "arcade" playlist in Apex and this could be one way to do it. Overwatch had it too.

We have to wait until March to play King's Canyon again after this event is over. Fucking blows, man.

If there's one thing the ranked system gets sort of right, it's that tanking doesn't really work. Like in silver you'd have to throw 10 matches for every good game.

Apex's lack of additional game modes still baffles my mind, it's the only BR that does this. They don't even need to add permanent ones, but even just a LTM that changes the mode every week and let it pull from all the previously used ones. For the main mode though, I think they need to take the PUBG approach and just put them both in and it's just randomly selected.

We don't know that, though. The only thing they said is that ranked split 2 will be on KC. That doesn't mean KC won't be available in regular mode at the start of S4.

Curious about Dummies big day.

They've not said much yet, other than it being Dummies with AI in matches...

Does it drop soon?

So it's a mode where every player is a dummy.

Your normal ability is to spawn a random loot item, you can use it every 35 seconds.

Your ultimate is a random effect out of at least the following
  • Instant heal to teammates in a certain radius around you. Not sure if it heals enemies too.
  • Loot Pinata, loot is spawned in front of you as if a cargo bot was destroyed
  • Emergency Dance Party where you spawn a bunch of decoys that do a dance.

The dance party is very likely going to be Mirage's ult in season 4.
The mode description is "This game isn't gonna test itself" so I suspect that as well. The instant area heal could be a replacement for Lifeline's ultimate because it would make more sense with Lifeline's other abilities.

No idea if the loot pinata could be a new ability. Probably just a better version of the dummy's random loot spawner.

Actually a pretty decent way to test if abilities work properly or need adjustments on a broader scale.

I'll have to check it out soon.

This mode can get a bit crazy, especially if down to last few squads.

A few times I've been near death and a random ult healed me! Sometimes not even my squad, the enemies.

Not knowing what ult will pop makes the game more random - I like it as an LTM.
