Olympus Map Changes
Everything New in Apex Legends Season 9
In Apex Legends Season 9, Olympus is overgrown with some supersized plant life to shake things up a bit. This is the first time that Olympus has been altered since its addition in Season 7.
Another big change in the landscape comes in the form of a ship called The Icarus, which has docked at the floating city, bringing with it a chaotic infection. But with that infection comes new Points of Interest, keycards, and a locked loot area similar to the vault in World’s Edge.
The Icarus is one of those interesting new POI, situated between Bonsai Plaza, Solar Array, and Orbital Cannon. It’s cramped because of the plants, but it also contains the Icarus Bridge, which holds a bunch of rare loot. To open the locked door to the bridge, players need to find a Bridge Keycard near the bodies of dead scientists inside the ship itself.
Two redeploy balloons have also been removed, and a few others have been shortened to reduce the frequency of those troublesome third-party fights. Read up on the changes in detail in this blog post.
