We have gotten a lot of changes this season of Apex Legends. A lot of good, like the revamped Storm Point, new legend, and a really fun care package weapon in the wingman.

We’ve also gotten a lot of other changes that people may have stronger opinions on, such as R301 in the crafter, respawning with a weapon and full armor, and no longer being able to put heat shields on tridents (such a fun, if niche thing to do).

So all in all, how are we feeling so far this season? Good, bad, iffy?

    Wait, we respawn now with a weapon and armor? Interesting. Is it the same weapon you were using before dying or random one?

    With this new legend, lifeline just keeps getting left behind. Poor lifeline.

      It’s the same weapon, and some armor. It’s actually lead to quite a bit of amusing cheese, where you can duplicate evos using this one simple trick!

      Lifeline’s still pretty good if you play aggressively with a team though- she’s great for kind of immediately picking everyone back up for any incoming third parties. I suspect she’ll see more usage again if the new legend isn’t too overpowering a support.

        I haven’t had a chance to play it yet but I really like the sound of still having your weapon (even if it is naked) and armour even when you’re down. Feels like it would make respawning in the final rings a lot more viable.

        Welp I see this being abused real quick and everybody having purps or red armor by the middle of the season.

      Yeah. It’s sad to say but I’ve kind of given up on playing the game on Linux at this point. “Fortunately”, I have to use Windows for WFH so it’s not a huge deal if I want to get some Apex in.
