The much-anticipated Season 17: Arsenal of Apex Legends has arrived! The latest update introduces Ballistic, a classy gunslinger with a beast within, significant changes to the World’s Edge map, and a total revamp of the Firing Range. This season promises an array of fresh content for both seasoned and new players, so let’s dive into the details. For a full list of updates, check out the official patch notes here.
Meet Ballistic, the latest addition to the Legends roster. This seasoned sharpshooter comes packed with unique abilities, like tracking bullets that disrupt enemies’ weapons, the power to carry a third weapon, and a buff to speed up teammates and provide unlimited ammo. The introduction of a new Legend this season brings much-awaited excitement for the Apex community.
The World’s Edge map has been given a serious facelift. Key highlights include a new museum called Monument Point of Interest, a cooling landscape, and tactical changes to hotspots like Harvester and Lava City. The shifting landscapes are sure to add a new layer of strategy to every match.
The Firing Range has also been overhauled. Now, players can fine-tune their combat skills with programmable test dummies, engage in duels with friends, and even practice their agility. This revamped training ground is a must-visit for players looking to up their game.
The Arsenal season also introduces a Weapon Mastery Progression System, rewarding players for mastering each weapon. Level up your weapons by completing challenges and earn a Legendary Weapon Apex Pack, among other prizes. This system encourages players to diversify their loadouts and master each weapon’s capabilities.
Lastly, the update brings an Evac Tower to the Survival Slot. This mobile Jump Tower can be a game-changer, enabling rapid map traversal for strategic moves or quick escapes. Just be wary of its temporary nature and the potential to alert nearby enemies.
As always, a new Battle Pass full of rewards awaits this season, along with exciting events and content releasing throughout.
