Arenas Mode
Everything New in Apex Legends Season 9
Arenas is a permanent new 3v3 mode coming in Season 9 that exists outside of the regular battle royale matches that Apex Legends is known for. It’s one squad versus another in round-based combat, so no third-party mayhem at all here.
Before every round, players can use Crafting Materials to purchase attachments, weapons, abilities, healing items, and upgrades to use. Materials are earned by performing well during each round, but you’ll start off with a set amount.
Gear is also reset after each round, so you’ll need to choose your purchases wisely. These Arenas matches are getting their own mini versions of existing maps along with two new ones that are made specifically for the mode.
To win in Arenas, a squad needs to win at least three rounds, and gain a two-point lead. So, winning three rounds in a row will result in a victory. For example, going 3-0, 3-1, 4-2, or 5-3 would result in wins. However, sudden death mode begins if a match gets to the ninth round with a score of 4-4.
