I'm curious about what the Leviathans will add, will they wander around the map? Will they just move and stomp the ground at certain places? Also can the flyers that hang about be aggressive towards the players?

Edit:

Might as well make some predictions.

Hacker character (Obvious).
Stuns/Cancels opponents skills, like Overwatch Sombra. Can't quite see how they otherwise would use these skills in an environmental effect.
Is anarchist (keyboard button style on second time you see them), so totally gonna be into the "oh yeah chaos!" personality frame.
the flyers are already on the game right now, they fly and carry enemy death boxes, you can shoot them and they drop it for you to loot, you can also kill them

but not aggressive it seems, at least in the current build, maybe they will be

That's what I wondered, they are in the game but every time I've seen them they are just flying around with boxes. I wonder now with the whole "the wild invades" part, the leviathans being able to stomp on the map, if they would take another part in the whole thing.

I wonder if the flyers can give away positions for campers. Maybe divebomb them if they stay in one place too long.

I wish the game actually looked this animated and colourful. Would be far more appealing than the drab world they have now.

Couldn't have been more obsessed with this game the first month and fell off from lack of updates. Really hope this season brings me back

It does, but I don't feel it sticks out too much or is that appealing to a larger audience. They'd sell so many more skins with the trailer art style.

I agree the game would pop out more with a higher ratio of color and bring in more players too.

Like, the Cinematic Trailer is pure perfection on this regard. It looks like a totally different and much better looking game to me.

Apex Legends official YouTube channel just uploaded the Official Gameplay Trailer:



Man, that was hype! Watson's first execution made me go O____O.

Honestly excited for ranked; even with randoms, having people of similar skill levels should make for a more enjoyable experience overall -- assuming I can get out of Bronze league T____T.

Also, sky emotes are nice but they just dilute the pool of getting character skins even more.

Looks really cool!

Does anyone know, canonically, what happens in the arena? When someone dies do they actually die, or is there some arena magic that makes this the futuristic equivalent of paintball? (Im also assuming we're just supposed to ignore that there's more than one of every character)

Lead Product Manager, Lee Horn, weighted in on Reddit on how battle pass rewards have been improved with Season 2 Battle Charge Pass:

I will be updating the OP with all information regarding Season 2 as it becomes available.

Hey all,


Lead Product Manager Lee Horn (Leeeeeee-RSPN) here with an overview of the Season 2 Battle Pass Challenges system. We heard your feedback on the Season 1 Battle Pass, and for Season 2 we've created a fun new way to maximize your Battle Pass gains. Challenges will allow you to make significantly greater Battle Pass progress, meaning you'll unlock that sweet, sweet loot with less grind over less time by returning on a regular basis to complete challenges.

With the launch of Season 2, you'll be able to complete Daily and Weekly Challenges to level up your Battle Pass. As we've previously mentioned, we're endeavoring to balance gameplay purity with variety and fun, so this Season's challenges will not require a YouTube tutorial to figure out.

Six of your ten Weekly Challenges will grant an entire Battle Pass level as a reward. The remaining Daily & Weekly Challenges grant STARS which, combined with match XP, contribute to a repeatable Weekly Challenge that grants a full Battle Pass level with each completion. STARS are XP specific to Battle Pass, meaning STARS do not impact Account Level progression.



Daily Challenges


Each day, you will receive three new Daily Challenges chosen randomly from a pool of over two hundred. These challenges range from "Deal 200 Damage in Bunker" to "Play 1 game as Lifeline" and are intended to be achievable in a short play session. Complete your daily challenge and earn 3,000 STARS each.

Your challenge pool will reset every day, so be sure to check back regularly to maximize Battle Pass progress.

Weekly Challenges

Each week, you will receive a set of seven new Weekly Challenges. These challenges are intended to take several play sessions to complete and range from "Get 20 Kills as Gibraltar, Bangalore, or Mirage" to "Loot 100 Epic items." Four of the Weekly Challenges are worth 6,000 STARS each (24,000 STARS total) and three of the Weekly Challenges grant an entire Battle Pass level each upon completion.

Starting the season late? No problem – you'll get access to all previous Weekly Challenges at once. So, if you start in Week 3, you'll get access to Week 1, 2, and 3 challenges immediately (21 in total).

Weekly Resetting Challenges

Each week, you'll have an additional set of three special resetting Weekly Challenges. These are the same every week and refresh even if you haven't completed them. Keep a careful eye on these to make maximum Battle Pass progress.
  • Complete five Daily Challenges – Rewards one Battle Pass level
  • Complete 10 Daily Challenges – Rewards one Battle Pass level
For example, if a player completes 10 Daily Challenges in a week, they'll get the rewards for completing 10 Daily Challenges, the rewards for completing five Daily Challenges, and the rewards for completing each Daily Challenge.
  • Earn 9,000 STARS and/or match XP – Rewards one Battle Pass level
  • This quest may be repeated an unlimited number of times each week.
  • Each completion increases the STARS and/or match XP required for the next by 9,000, up to a maximum of 54,000. You need 9,000 for the first level, 18,000 for the second level, etc. This challenge resets to 9,000 each week.

We hope the Battle Pass progression structure for Season 2 feels way more rewarding! As always, we appreciate all the support and feedback from the community as we continue to iterate and improve Apex Legends.

Hmm. Reading that BP blurb from the "horse's mouth" is kinda off-putting.
The new content looks fun, and I enjoy the core gameplay with friends, but I have zero desire to put money into this game for any reason.

These "challenges" are just such bog standard stuff. He says there's "less grind", but things like "x20 kills" "x100 loots" sounds pretty grindy to me.
I feel like the line gets blurred between playing for fun and playing to fill a quota. Maybe the rewards for success are great if you like cosmetics, but at the end of the day all you're paying for is the "opportunity" to earn more superfluous stuff...

Am I crazy?

I've been playing Apex on PC since launch at least a few times a week if not more. I could care less how good/bad/shit/great the cosmetics are, I just really love the flow and combat in this game. Really can't wait to get in tonight with some friends.

Yea cosmetics are pointless to me. The new gun and attachments have actual use and are relevant to the meta of the game. As is the new character. New content is everything. But I'm kinda glad everyone freaks out of color swaps for the legends so they fund the game for us if you think about it!!!! XD
