Olympus Map Update

Someone or something has hacked into Olympus' Phase Runner, sending the floating city crashing down and creating destabilizations across the metropolis that change the confront of the map: mayhap forever. Players will experience a malfunctioning Olympus, with new terrain exposed and more than POIs than always. And that's non all!

• Expanded map; spreading squads out more and then the map'due south center area (Labs/Estates) isn't the just go-to gainsay zone each game and reducing the frequency of spontaneous third-parties.
• Better rotational options to aid players get effectually and out of dangerous chokepoints
• New interactive map toy and play spaces to help attract players into the new areas, creating fresh new experiences for Olympus

Check out the full blog from map designer, Alex Graner that goes into particular about what to expect from the Olympus Map Update.

Players in the regular Play Apex queue will drop exclusively into Olympus for the first week of the season, afterwards which we'll add together Tempest Point and Kings Canyon into the rotation.

Tempest Indicate updates

Wildlife update

It's now been a total flavor since nosotros introduced PvE into Battle Royal and while nosotros were happy with how wild animals launched, we've seen that Prowlers were a bit too punishing and non quite rewarding plenty.

Additionally, we have seen some bad edge cases that create frustration for players that we're hoping to accost this flavor. We'll go more in depth on the exact details and our reasoning backside them in some other blog, but in short:

• Prowler harm reduced from 30 to 20 and reduced knockback strength.
• Increased Prowler Nest completion reward from xc to 150 crafting materials (250 total for the large Prowler Nest in the center of the map).
• Annotation: Crafting rewards are divided eveningly to all squadmates nearby at time of clearing the nest. All players (regardless of squad) in the area get a share of the 250 crafting material reward when the big Prowler Nest is cleared.
• Overhauled wild fauna targeting rules to use harm as the primary factor which should assist wild fauna targeting experience more fair and less random.
• Introduced a targeting cap for Prowlers, so but 3 Prowlers will be able to target a player at whatsoever time.
• Prowler Den spawns are now disabled when in that location are 2 teams inside of the same Nest (except for the massive Prowler Nest at the center of the map).
• Prowlers are now neutral when outside the ring unless engaged in combat.
• Prowler Dens are now disabled outside the ring if the Prowler Army camp is passive.
• Wandering Prowlers in the small Wild fauna Nests have been reduced from three down to two and their wander radius is reduced by half until they are engaged in combat.
• Made some tweaks that should assist squads clear Prowler Nests quicker.
• Gave a slight increase to high tier consumable drops on all wildlife.

Drib Ship pathing

While Tempest Signal has a relatively salubrious spread of landing locations, we realized the typical driblet ship logic often made the high northeast corner of the map particularly tough to land in. Rotating the distribution and moving the centerpoint slightly northeast should brand Highpoint and Lightning Rod more than accessible while still allowing players to land in the lower southwest portion if they want.

Each image below shows 400 drib ship simulations, earlier and afterwards the change:

Finally, a few miscellaneous changes:

• Improved wild animals combat versus vehicles. Targeting and damage now focuses on an occupied vehicle opposed to individual players in the vehicle
• Improved wildlife interactions versus electrical abilities making stunning wildlife with Wattson'southward fences and Ash's tactical more reliable

Ranked update

In Apex Legends the primary goal is to exist the concluding Legend continuing, and racking up kills is the vehicle to go you there. Terminal flavour, we made changes that opened up flexibility by compensating players with high impale counts that didn't necessarily place showtime.

We similar this flexibility, only afterward observing the pacing of high-level ranked games, we saw players were focused on seeking out kills a petty too much. Players that focus on fighting for higher placements and teamplay should be more faithfully awarded.

Alter summary:

• Max Impale KP: 175 >>> 125
• Placement Points & Per Kill Bonus:

Points Awarded
Place	RP	Bonus RP per impale/assist
1	125	fifteen
2	95	11
iii	lxx	eight
4	55	5
v	45	v
6	30	one
7	twenty	i
8	20	ane
9	ten	1
10	10	1
xi	v	0
12	5	0
xiii	5	0
14+	0	0

Tier Delta	-3	-ii	-1	0	1	ii	three
Impale/Aid RP	3	5	8	10	12	15	20

This tuning is more than punishing to teams that undervalue placements. We're bumping upwards placement points for teams in the height v; easing back on the 'Impale KP Cap' and adjusting 'Per Kill Bonuses' to crave ~two-3 less Kills to hit the maximum.

Split one will be played on Olympus, and we'll movement over to Kings Canyon for Split 2 in April.

COMMUNICATION FILTER

During this flavour we'll be releasing a new characteristic where players will be able to determine which players they want to receive voice and text chat from called Communication Filter. Players can find the feature in the Options Menu under Gameplay and will have three options to cull from.

• Everyone = You come across and hear all Text / voice chat from all players.
• Friends Just = You just see and hear friends text / voice chat.
• Off = You do not see or hear whatsoever voice or text conversation.

Players can besides unmute anyone they choose, friend of friend or a good random squadmate.

• If thrown to a wall (or other geo), the Drone will hitting the wall and re-orient itself and so that information technology's facing abroad from the wall.
• Crypto no longer immediately accesses Drone View after deploying his Drone in this mode.
• Pressing and holding the [Tactical] button will launch the Drone frontward in the same mode, only so Crypto volition immediately access Drone View.
• Reduced Drone wellness from sixty -> 50.
• The HUD marker for the Drone has been tweaked to increase visibility.
• The HUD marking for the Drone is now always displayed on-screen while the Drone is deployed (instead of only when the Drone was off-screen.
• Dev Note:
• Crypto has been off the grid in terms of choice rate. The goal of these changes was to make his kit more accessible and engaging. With a new deployment option, we lowered drone health to forbid reckless drone deploy.
• Crypto is notwithstanding a methodical, calculating fable, and manually piloting Hack should yet be the principal mode to access macro-level recon. The drone view HUD updates should assist here likewise. Crypto's never been weak per se; we're cognizant of his strengths at high-level play and will be keeping an eye on his usage and performance.

Residuum changes – Caustic

Nox Gas Traps are now destroyable afterward detonation

• 150hp
• Detonated traps will expire at 11s (instead of 12.5s)

• 30-30 pellet damage reduced from 8 to seven
• Bow pellet damage reduced 12 to xi

BALANCE CHANGES – Triple Take

• Removing projectile growth from bullets
• Damage reduced from 23 to 21 per bullet

BALANCE CHANGES

Seer

• Decreased Focus of Attending detonation filibuster from 1.6s to 1.4s
• Dev Note: Seer was dialed back to a healthier spot with the balance hotfix presently after his release. However, afterwards four months of evaluating his use in the live game, the detonation delay seems a petty too sluggish. Nosotros desire to meliorate its feel while continuing to evaluate the reveal meta equally a whole.

Arc Star

• Base stick impairment lowered from 30 -> 10
• Shield Damage Multiplier increased from x3 -> x4 (stick on shielded enemy will at present max out at forty instead of 90)
• Sticking an enemy at present applies a slow debuff (reverting Legacy update alter)
• Dull duration is now driven past distance to the centre of Arc Star detonation
• Dev Note: Arc stars excel in a lot of areas. They have high damage potential coupled with a punishing deadening, and can exist thrown more accurately than other ordnance types. Removing the stick ho-hum created some degenerate play patterns and often fabricated it hard to tell when you got stuck in the oestrus of battle. We're bringing that back with a tradeoff of lower damage potential and a proximity based slow falloff in not-stick cases. These changes make stick scenarios more consistent across shield types and make arc stars less effective at area deprival.

Apex Legends Flavour xi Escape patch notes

Here they are, the full patch notes for Apex Legends' Season 11: Escape update, which goes live on Nov 2. We've got a new fable, a new map, ranked changes, weapon and fable balancing, and bug fixes all crammed into one update.

Here are the total Apex Legends Season 11 patch notes.

New Legend: Ash

A new Legend with a familiar confront, Ash has overseen the Arenas from the shadows and held a tight grip on Pathfinder's heart. A simulacrum made from the woman who once was Dr. Ashleigh Reid, Ash is determined to eliminate every trace of weakness that held her dorsum equally a human.. Detecting death wherever she goes, spearing enemies with electrical snares that lock them in place, vehement through space to take more lives– information technology would exist easy to retrieve that there was zero human left within that common cold steel.

But a trace of the human doctor remains, and she poses a greater threat to Ash than any Legend in the band.

Here are Ash'southward abilities:

Marked For Decease (Passive)
Ash'southward map shows the location of recent deathboxes. She gets a special prompt on a deathbox, utilize it to marker surviving attackers (one time per box).

Arc Snare (Tactical)
Throw a spinning snare that damages and tethers the get-go enemy that gets too close.

Phase Breach (Ultimate)
Tear open a ane-mode portal to a targeted location. This portal stays open for a short time, during which anyone can utilize information technology.

New map: Storm Bespeak

This beautiful oasis was in one case an energy colony for the IMC, and the ruins remain. Many accept tried to make a dwelling house here: all have failed. A survey of the area revealed the remains of three unique settlements built across the centuries, but no survivors.The colony lay abandoned, only visited by the occasional pirate or castaway. At present the Mercenary Syndicate has plans of their own for Tempest Betoken.

It looks then enticing, but the pristine beaches and crystal waters are merely the eye of the hurricane. All around, dangers swirl: wild prowlers, venomous spiders, and the gathering storms just add to the tension in the air. Now the Legends are here to brand this place their own.

So it looks like Storm Indicate is only going to get more dangerous. Bank check out our blog with all the details here.

Battle Royale map rotation

For the Escape update the map rotation will be back downward to 2 maps; Storm Point and Globe's Edge. With Tempest Betoken being a whole new map, we want to make sure players take plenty of time to primary the new arena.

Arenas map rotation

With the introduction of Encore, the Arenas map rotation will now include just the custom made Arenas maps. We will not be using BR locations for Arenas in the Escape update.

New Weapon: C.A.R. SMG

When you're in a precarious place, you need a unsafe, flexible weapon: see the C.A.R. SMG. The Combat Advanced Circular submachine gun is a fully automatic weapon that takes adaptability to the next level past accepting either Light or Heavy mags. The C.A.R. hits hard simply handles light, this hybrid weapon's the all-time of both words for when you're ready to take a stand and get the about dangerous thing on the island.

Ranked Updates

Hello, Legends! Let'due south have a quick wait at how Ranked in Emergence shaped upwards and review the changes coming in Escape. Ranked continues to attract a large portion of players (around forty% of all playtime!), only this doesn't hateful nosotros tin't look to make improvements.

Note: We stock-still an issue where expired skydrive trails remained attainable for longer than they should have. These trails will at present expire on the intended seasonal cadence, as mentioned originally in the Ranked Series 3 post (trails from Serial i & 2 are all the same grandfathered in).

Ranked Boxing Royale

"Skill" in Apex can be evaluated in all sorts of means. Information technology'southward the affiliation of gun skill, motility, positioning, awareness, fable mastery, and prevailing over anybody else as Champion that separates the lowly Statuary from Noon Predators.

With that in mind, nosotros want to provide more flexibility and nuance to how players can express skill when RP gains are at stake. Before Escape, measurements have been unproblematic and straightforward. We grant RP based on impale points and a placement multiplier. At present, we're easing back on some RP restrictions to offering other routes to max out kill-related RP in a friction match.

• Kill RP values at present take differences betwixt killer/victim Ranked tiers into business relationship.
• The kill RP cap (as nosotros have traditionally idea almost it upwards to this betoken) is effectively being raised from half-dozen to seven. Withal, this kill-related RP cap tin can be reached in unlike ways, depending on tier differences and placement. Placement is still paramount, and you notwithstanding must place first to accept a chance at max total RP.

To expand on the first point, tier differences between the killer and victim will be taken into account when calculating baseline kill indicate value. For example, if a Plat player kills a Diamond actor, that kill counts every bit 12 instead of 10 RP.

Tier Deviation	Kill Points Awarded
-3	3
-ii	v
-1	8
0	10
1	12
2	15
iii	20

Some points of description:

• Victims do not lose more or less points when killed (in terms of entry cost). Only the killer receives the modifier.
• Apex Predator and Master are treated as the same tier.
• An see charge per unit with someone of a 3+ tier difference is ultra-rare (less than 0.one%). Ranked matchmaking is staying the same, then in general, you lot'll come across identical tiers. In cases where yous squad up with a dissimilar rank friend or merge into a unlike tier lobby, your KP will be adjusted appropriately.

Later on tier differences are taken into account for impale points, a flat per kill bonus is added based on placement.

Final Placement	Per Kill Bonus
ane	15
2	10
three	10
4	v
5	five
six	2
7	2
8	two
ix	2
ten	two
11+	0

The maximum kill point RP is 175. Any kill-related RP that exceeds that after placement and tier modifiers are added doesn't affect total RP. The final step is to add a flat placement bonus. Enough with the math, permit'south explain these changes with an example:

As a Platinum thespian, you party upwardly with your Diamond friend and matchmake into a lobby with similarly skilled players. You snag second identify, with 6 kills (and/or assists) against Diamond players, and 3 on Plat players.

Each impale on those Diamond players is worth 12 points instead of the typical 10, considering they are one rank tier higher than y'all. That leaves us with (12 × half dozen) + (ten × 3) = 102 RP.

Now let'south take placement into account. In second, the per kill bonus is 10, so our 9 kills (including assists) × 10 = xc RP.

102 RP + 90 RP is greater than the 175 impale-based RP cap. We overachieved our way past the cap, and therefore rounded down to 175 before applying the flat threescore RP placement bonus for second place. The full we would receive for this match is 235 RP!

We're curious to run into how these changes affect the ranked grind. Spring into Storm Indicate this first split and permit united states of america know how they feel. Stay tuned; this is but the start of what nosotros take in store for Ranked improvements.

Ranked Arenas – Escape

We learned a lot from the start season of Ranked arenas and are eager to bring you lot some improvements:

Arenas Ranked at present has 2 splits, similar to Ranked Battle Royale
Forth with each new season and split, in that location is a soft MMR reset and new placement matches. New seasons require the usual 10 placement matches while a new split just requires 5 placement matches.
Improvements take been made to matchmaking for finding similarly skilled teammates.
Reduced the AP corporeality gained or lost from MMR differences between teams.

Dev note: The last calculated AP amount for a lucifer is a factor of your current AP and MMR. It's also influenced past the MMR differences between teams. In practice, this difference was factoring in more than than we wanted. I.e. Losing a friction match y'all were slightly favored to win was giving a bigger AP loss than desired.

Residue CHANGES: Wattson

Move bated Ash, this is Wattson's season. Nosotros're ecstatic to finally share some long-anticipated Wattson improvements! Her win rate and see win charge per unit take e'er been above average. This could be for a multitude of reasons; her defensive playstyle correlates to higher average placements, Wattson mains are diehard loyalists, and her hitbox has been the smallest in the game ever since Lifeline's aligning.

Regardless, much of the high-level data that we've shared doesn't match perception. Play a few games equally Wattson and you'll often find yourself wanting more out of her kit. The goal of these changes is to redistribute her invisible power into the parts of her kit that shape the battlefield in a unique way. We wanted to meet what changes could spark more consistency and efficacy in her kit, and ideally ground some of the difficulties surrounding the way her abilities work.

Nosotros want to enable more than active gameplay from Wattson players by smoothing out the rough edges in placing fences. Responsiveness tweaks, longer range, and faster cooldowns means that Wattson can much more apace and reliably set up a defensive position, or even use her fences and pylon in the midst of open combat in a compression.

General

• Improved the reliability and responsiveness of placing Wattson's Tactical and Ultimate in-world objects.
• Wattson tin can place her Tactical and Ultimate objects on valid surfaces to a higher place Wattson'south eye level (to a reasonable extent).

• Decreased recharge time past 50% (30 to fifteen seconds).
• Increased placement range by 50%.
• Decreased the delay between Fences shutting off and reactivating after an ally passes through them by sixty%. (1.0 -> 0.4 seconds)
• Wattson now moves at Unarmed-speed while readying/placing Fence nodes.
• Fence nodes can now be placed every bit soon every bit the weapon is readied, instead of waiting for the animation to end.

Ultimate – Interception Pylon

• The Pylon output has been significantly reworked.
• Reduced the number of agile Pylons Wattson can identify from 3 to one.
• The Pylon now lasts forever (instead of timing out after 90 seconds).
• The Pylon now has a pool of 250 Shields that can exist distributed to nearby players, instead of effectively space Shields.
• Increased the Pylon shield recharge charge per unit by 150%, and smoothed regen rate. (2/second -> v/second, or more accurately: ane/0.5 seconds -> 1/0.2 seconds)
• When a Pylon is out of Shields, it no longer recharges players' Shields, just can still zap incoming ordnance.
• Taking damage while regenerating Shields via the Pylon delays connected regeneration by ane second.
• The UI on the footing and HUD elements at present displays the corporeality of Shields that remain in the Pylon.
• Pinging a friendly Pylon will at present display the percentage of Shields remaining in the Pylon.
• Pylon ordnance-zapping has been moderately reworked.
• Ordnance is now zapped when the Pylon detects that it would hit whatsoever surface within range and line of sight of the Pylon, instead of being zapped as soon as information technology comes inside range.
• Every bit a part of the changes, current issues where the Pylon doesn't reliably zap ordnance (particularly concerning airstrike abilities, and ordnance that bounced off surfaces near the Pylon) should now be addressed.

• Mid game crate weapon rate increased from 50% to 75%
• Late game crate weapon rate increased from 75% to 100%
• Dev Notation: Pushing a supply driblet in the terminate game and whiffing on a weapon feels pretty rough.

Don't worry, nosotros're adjusting Kraber spawn rates accordingly to proceed them in line.
