Legacy Gameplay Trailer

3 minutes to go guys, time to put your pop corn in microwave and let it POP !

Trailer is so long, I run out of pop corn before it ends.

@DYSPROssium 

Waiting for your screen shot analysis.....EXCITING !

I will, but first a new thread with the arena instruction page that just went live: https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/introducing-arenas?isLocalized=true

@asukojoOkay now THIS was a teaser!

Well done Respawn!

Things I saw which I liked:
Victory poses
Arena (basically counterstrike Apex)
Valkyrie
Olympus re-claimed by nature
Compact bow

Things I fear
Valkyrie in the air. From what I saw that WILL without a doubt be OP XD.

Has anybody played Paladins: Guardians of the galaxy? (I think thats what the subtext was). When Valkyrie went into the air I had massive Ruckus moments again XD. 

and did Fat Guy’s L-star shoot in burst or was he just feathering...

@DoYaSeeMe, where are you 😈

@DYSPROssium The Arena page is well written. No questions I might have except it said “for every kill you get 75 points”, what about assists? 

@DoYaSeeMeNo Anime hitbox cause she doesn’t look like one ☹️ The community will be torn! BOOO!!!

She could’ve been like one of the Strike Witches characters... I’m not even asking that they made her like Claire Harvey from Hundred but noooo... they had to make her like this ☹️

But yea, I love a good bow and am eager to try this one out.

As i'm reading/hearing things around, it looks like Hammerpoint will be removed [double tap is back? (sigh)], just like low profile for Wraith/Wattson. Lifeline's care package will get you batts and a weapon; Bow is actually really strong; PK back on the ground (Prowler still in CP); Mozambique has 6 bullets. That's it for now. Not sure if it's only Arena related or not.

I noticed the ships surrounding Olympus last night. Now I know why.

I ever recommend similiar idea for intro animation and champion animation, glad they implemented.

I think this is something you have to buy/craft as legendary or if they're nice, it's from Battle Pass, but I'm willing to craft it since looks so cool.

@hayhor Yeah, but then we will have 3 shotguns on the ground? Isn't that a bit too much?

Oh btw apparently we will have white shields from the drop (finally!).

Valk yellow skin confirm this sequence (right to left) :

@Cro_Pittt where did you hear Wraith's low profile coming back pl?

The trailor is fantastic. Most exciting one yet imo. Love all the trees 😃 I hope they are climable. I am imagining myself up in one talking potshots with the new bow.

Can't wait to explore, and yt is beside himself with excitement about the arena. 

I'm a tad bit upset that they resorted to throwing octane skin on wraith instead of just designing new skins. Recycling skins once again. They raised the mask to be on the head. Just seems a lot of effort was not put into skins from design teams. 

The arena mode looks cool though ill say. But valk just does not belong in apex legends. Its taking the game entirely different direction than the apex we once knew. I don't mind changes but the last 2 seasons are just jumping leap years ahead of how apex operated and was designed. Olympis being a new world not falling in the line of other maps in the game. Now a legend who can fly who can shoot a barrage of guided mistles at you. Just will never be the same apex again. My idea may change upon playing it. But just looking at valk it's going to be nothing but complaints on how overpowered she is and will be. I just feel they are moving way to fast from the orig apex we all know. 

So will we hear any more complaints about 3rd partying after a 2 team only mode is introduced?

Probably.

I’m personally not interested as I play this game for the Battle Royale but I think it was good adding 3v3

Here is my breakdown of things I noticed - pretty exciting stuff!

We have never seen Arenas before, so I will be noting stuff based on what I see. Maybe it may be the case that some hop-ups are not available in the Arena mode but tare available in the Battle Royal. I don't know.

First of all, the volt seems to make a slightly different sound. Maybe a new hop-up? Kinda reminds me of the disruptor rounds but colours do not match.

There are new emotes! Later on, they are more clearly for the winning screen, but the animations here of Gibby and Wattson are also new. (Crypto is just a finisher)

The G7 scout also makes a completely different sound.

I'm not a player that knows every skin in the game, but this one seems new

I've tried to compare the jump-than-walk time of Loba here, but it is too difficult to tell wether the slow down animations are reduced or removed.

We can reasonably suspect that Ash will be the announcer. I'm just wondering if they will (eventually) let us choose factions that would display here. Just as in titanfall at the start of a match.

New Wraith skin, of course 😛

New rampart skin

Okey couple of things here. You can buy skills, consumables, weapons, and weapon upgrades here. The first screenshot is the one of the video, the second one from the website. The web one seems to be more up-to-date since the weapons have been sorted on price and the hologram looks better. Also, the video one contains an ultimate accelerant, which was removed in the web one. Instead, the golden backpack has been added. Please Lifelines, buy that. P2020 and Mozambique are free, so you'll always have two weapons in a fight no matter what you buy.

In the video one it seems like we have to buy the passive as well, but this is rectified in the blog post. Passives are free.

The amount of money you get depends on the number of kills you make (every kill is 25 credits), the number of crafting canisters you picked up, and the bonus from the round. There is no win bonus in here. They may have decided not to have a win bonus to reduce the chance of a lobside match (once you win, you have a higher chance to win again).

The two screenshots are from two different rounds and both show a different tier of armor (although in a illogical order). However, the blog does not describe the armor to be upgradable, so I think we will have non-evo armors here.

The prowler is a SMG, but is not in the SMG list. That makes me expect the prowler to remain a care package weapon. Furthermore, the peacekeeper is on the list. So the peacekeeper is now ground loot again! I've checked the other weapons but there is no one missing. So we do not know yet which one will replace the peacekeeper.

Currently, we have 6 weapon categories in the game, but we see a new one here: Marksman! That is for the Bocek bow. And if I may be so free to make a guess: I think the category will not just be the Bocek bow, but they will add the G7 scout (and/or the 30-30 repeater) in there as well.

They buffed the Mozambique from 4 to 6 shots!

But they removed the hammer point hop-up.

There seem to be no deadboxes in Arena mode. So what does this mean for shield swapping? Are we relying on batteries and finishers now? Interesting.

Durability legends may be very useful in the arena. They can bring in supplies that you otherwise would need to buy.

More end-of round emotes for the winning team:

Those are like Titan batteries in the walls. Also, even though the teams can go through the portals and start fighting, this seem to be a one-way go. No last member can be annoying and stay going back and forth. (The zone is still there as well). And, both teams are separated by a pit it seems here.

The party interact button on Mirage Voyage is removed.

The L-star is also making a completely different sound, and the bursts are coming out at a slower pace.

Don't be confused (like I was) by the front end of the alternator, that is how the barrel stabilizers look like from the side.

This may be Valkyries victory pose, but could also be part of a banner pose.

Last week we were questioning whether Valkyrie had some sort of a target lock system, but it seems that you can aim the rockets with markers. Just wondering why Gibby and Bangalore do not have this...

Valkyries ultimate seems to fuel up the jump packs from the teammates. They cannot move then however and it seems to be a redeploy functionality. Just as with the balloons but - by the look of it - with the height of the geisers.

We see a part of the inspect animation of the Bocek bow

So just something to think about. Will we get a hop-up in the game that would be specific to 1 single weapon? The last time that happened they removed it from the game and made it a toggle (for the triple take, that is). Maybe they will have it function differently for the L-star and the G7? Not sure here.

The text from the video is more important though: the bow will have 2 hop-up slots. So you can combine the shattercaps with the fast firing one.

This devotion skin is new. Seems to be an evolution one, so we can expect this skin to be the lvl 100 (or 110) BP skin!

This is, of course, a finisher of Valkyrie

This is going to look amazing with the glow in the dark skins.

Most of the map changes seems to be on the Bonsay plaza side of the of the map. More interestingly, is that a new ship is landed (complete right side), which replaces the weird area that was there before.

And that is it! Thoughts?
