What’s New in Apex Legends Season 8
King’s Canyon is back with even more changes in Apex Legends Season 8. The dev team altered existing areas while expanding the map with a whole new area. Here are some of the key points that the team focused on this time around:
- More attractive drop points in the Northwestern part of the map.
- Improved rotations of our northern locations to Runoff, Artillery, Containment and the Pit.
- The easing of 3rd partying by:
- Adding an entirely new section of map that never existed before, thus giving more options for the initial drop
- Thinning out densely-packed smaller POIs to give more breathing room and reduce combat choke points
- A new map mechanic that can create on-the-fly high ground to gain a power position
- New armories scattered across the map to help you gear up quickly, requiring a bit of forethought when looting
Observation Towers and Explosive Holds are the two main new features being added to King’s Canyon. The towers can be raised to gain vantage points on the fly, while the holds contain extra loot if you’re willing to part with a grenade to open them up.
