There are many balance improvements coming to the map and weapons including a new map event. It’s bringing new skins for Caustic and Octane each along with new weapon skins for Spitfire and R-301. EA unveiled the tenth legend named Wattson and her abilities include creating electric fences around the perimeter. She can place the poles (a maximum of 12) of the fence and once they are placed, an electric barrier will activate. Her Ultimate ability is summoning an AOE drone that charges the player’s teammate’s shields and block enemy attacks including grenade’s and offensive legend abilities. Wattson’s passive ability allows her to get an ultimate charge to 100 percent using Ultimate Accelerants and repeatedly spam them.

A new weapon was unveiled called the L-Star which is a plasma energy machine gun. It will only be available in care packages and it’s powerful enough to knock down doors. Gamers who have played the Titanfall games will recognise this weapon and it has now made its way to Apex: Legends.[caption id="attachment_6779281" align="alignnone" width="1280"]
