Apex Legends Season 8: All You Need To Know

Season 8 of Apex Legends has here, and it’s already proving popular among gamers!

Season 8 of Apex Legends is just around the corner as the Respawn team marks the game’s second anniversary.

Everything you need to know about the next season can be found here.
One question still lingers with the release of Apex Legends Season 8: How popular is Mayhem?
Yes, that’s the quick answer. Certainly.

On Steam, Apex Legends boasts a top concurrent player count of moreover 166,000, which isn’t far from the game’s all-time high.

Even though it’s only been a week, your rolling average of concurrent gamers has dropped by only about 20,000.

When it comes to Battle Royale, Fuse and the Mayhem he has brought have pulled the best out of Respawn Entertainment.

The 30-30 Repeater

Season 8 of Apex Legends will bring the 30-30 Repeater, a brand-new weapon.

There is a good chance that this lever-action rifle will become popular, but how long will it remain popular?

In your opinion, how does the new weapon fare?

Best Place To Drop?

Isn’t this the most important thing we could ask?

It’s time for a trip to Kings Canyon, but where should we stop?

Slum Lakes has been renamed Spotted Lakes, Skull Town has been demolished, and Crash Site has revealed hitherto unexplored regions of the map.

Since our initial visit to Kings Canyon, things have altered quite a bit.

Like any revised battle royale map, the fresh places will be more crowded, but will they be better?

Respawn Entertainment has stated that Explosive Holds may be found spread around Kings Canyon and contain lucrative loot and equipment when they’re unlocked.

To win Season 8 of Apex Legends, you need to find one of these.

Weapon Skins?

Season 8 of Apex Legends will feature a few new weapon skins, as shown in the Battle Pass teaser.

The “Bad to the Bone” and “Chain-Wrapped Flatline” weapon cosmetics from Lifeline are seen here:
Your thoughts on the new Flatline skin would be appreciated. In Season 8, will you return to Kings Canyon with it?

Kings Canyon Is Back

Incredibly, Kings Canyon has returned to the big screen. While the original Apex Legends map did show some signs of Fuse’s presence, it’s largely undamaged in its return.

More open passageways around the map’s perimeter and a few ECHO Instalments will be available for players to explore.

Why is Bunker your favorite area to jump in Kings Canyon?

Season 8 Start Time

Season 8 of Apex Legends will begin at 10 am PST/1 pm EST/6 pm GMT on February 2nd.

Pirate Fuse?

Apex Legends Season 8’s Battle Pass has given us our first glimpse at some of the most important cosmetics that will be available in this season’s game.

Fuse’s swashbuckling costume was one of the show’s highlights.

Check out Pirate Fuse below! He’s certainly cocky enough to match Mirage as Apex Legends Champion of the cockiest.

Patch Notes

The Apex Legends Season 8 patch notes are now official thanks to a new reveal from EA!

NEW LEGEND: FUSE

A former mercenary turned cage fighter, Fuse is always up for a fight. He can carry more grenades and throw them farther and quicker because of his penchant for explosives. He can use airburst explosives to detonate cluster bombs. “Wally” is Fuse’s weapon of choice when it’s time to unleash the full force of his pyrokinetic powers.

Active – Grenadier.

Each inventory slot should have one additional grenade. Aim your grenades at a greater distance, speed, and accuracy.

The Knuckle Cluster is tactical.

Launch a cluster bomb that continuously expels airburst explosives on impact.

Ultimate – The Motherlode

Launch a bombardment that encircles a target area in a wall of flames.

NEW WEAPON: 30-30 REPEATER

If you’re looking for a lever-action repeater that can take out a Mirage at 200 yards, go no further.

As a baseline for reliability, the 30-30 was the logical option for Apex Games.

NON-COMMITTED MARKER OF MESSAGE

The 30-30 Repeater’s methodical rhythm and analogue elegance can’t be duplicated by the Outlands’ modern weapons because it forces the operator to rechamber their bullets between shoots.

The 30-30 Repeater features a built-in charge that allows players to do more damage with each shot at the cost of a short build-up, further tempting those itching trigger fingers.

Even on the Mastiff, you won’t find resource management like the ’30-the the ’30s because it only reloads one round at a time.

This engagement range provides unique reloading options for separate rounds. Precision ranged pressure might be difficult for weapons with full reloads, but the Repeater has it down well.

KINGS CANYON MAP UPDATE

Kings Canyon undergoes another transformation in Season 8. The ship falling onto the map is the main new point of interest. The Slums have been taken over by Spotted Lakes, and new observation towers have been added for basic recon or a sniper’s nest. Visit our map blog to learn more about the latest updates.

LEGENDARY MAGAZINES

The Gold-tier publications are introduced in Season 8. Attaching it to a weapon triggers a short delay before reloading your stowed weapons. As with the Purple magazine, the Gold magazine holds the same amount of ammunition and may be used with a variety of weapons types, including light, heavy, sniper, and energy.

QUALITY OF LIFE UPDATES

The HUD now features a damage counter. We’re thrilled to be able to make it easier for folks to pursue their badges and challenges with this new functionality!

Pinging Ammo

Pinging weapons or ammo in your inventory displays your current ammo count along with “player wants ammo” in quick chat.

Color Blind update

Healing and reviving will now follow colorblind rules when colorblind settings are enabled

Lore Blurbs on Canon Skins

In addition to canon skins, we also have non-canon ones. We’ve added a brief description of the skin’s significance to the Legend’s backstory for skins that represent significant moments in the character’s life.

LEGEND META

Since she has so much utility in her kit, we know Wraith will be a popular choice. Despite numerous changes to her skills and animations, her win rate remains as high as it has been since day one. With Pathfinder’s hitbox tweaks in Season 7, we were able to limit his power without weakening his kit. Wraith, too, is a target.

Compared to her other little legends, Wraith now has a somewhat larger hitbox, but the changes remain true to her model. You can see in the before and after comparison that we’ve added some width to the torso and legs.

Despite these alterations, Wraith is still a diminutive foe. We’ll keep an eye on her usage and victory rates to determine if there are other methods to give power back in the future.

Rampart

We’ve found that Rampart’s performance metrics have remained at the bottom since her release. In a game as fast-paced as Apex, we thought that her barriers should have some reactionary power as well. Her kit is mostly focused on preemptive positioning. In the meantime, we’ll be keeping a close eye on it.

Horizon

The Gravity Lift’s effective cooldown time was raised from 21 to 25 seconds. The 15-second cooldown timer will now begin as soon as the Gravity Lift leaves the field of vision.

Weapons

Every season, we get new weaponry, and this year is no exception.

When it comes to new weapons in Apex Legends, the 30-30 Repeater is one that we can expect to see soon.

There have been rumors of further weaponry.

Quality of Life

In-game damage tracker added

Bug Fixes

Not all Heirlooms are listed in the Heirloom store.
Users were told they were purchasing Gibraltar’s Heirloom when purchasing Caustic’s Heirloom Legend skins for Mirage and Bangalore’s aim-down sights, resulting in a decrease inaccuracy
Mistakes connected to one-on-one games
In cross-play lobbies, players cannot hear each other.

No Fill Coming In Season 8

Team-based Apex Legends has remained at its core since its inception.

There was a brief appearance of a Solo mode in Apex Legends, but it has since been removed, leaving only team-based modes like Duos and Trios as viable options for newcomers.
