Hey Legends, Check out a look at E-District, the 6th map to hit the Apex Games, arriving with Season 22: Shockwave! Any early standout areas you'll be trying to check out? Which Legends are you going to hit the map with? I haven't played as much Alter as I'd like just yet, but this could be a great environment to pull her abilities into play. Hit the link below for an in-depth look at what's ahead and let us know what you think! Welcome to E-District (ea.com)

The map is terrible. Cant find any guns building that have nothing just a closed up box. It has to be the worst map to date so far.

Thank you : ) I appreciate that!I enjoy your posts, you say it like it is, and respectfully also. I try to take a page from you play book from time to time.Cheers.

@EA_Mako Sounds cool! I was about to make a post of how they need to add more buildings, loot, filler content: so much in-between space Give me a Ferris Wheel, or just make the map about 25% smaller idk but good call so far. Thanks

@EA_Mako I love the artwork and the idea is great, I just hope the execution is much better than the last nighttime map we got for Halloween. If it's more like party crashers with bright areas it may not be so bad, but thus game has dark units that are difficult to see on dark backgrounds, and problems with units rendering when far away, so I hope they take this into account with this map. They did ok with party crashers this season, and if they do the same with this map it may be a hit.

Overall I like the map. My only complaint is there is a lot of NOTHING, especially loot wise. They need to add more loot areas

Welcome to E-District! Discuss the latest map!

@EA_Mako Nah, still haven't tried... what's the name. The Moon thing. Doesn't matter about POI's anyway. The playerbase will pick one POI, always go there, and never use the rest of the map. So design and POI's don't really matter.

I thought that I read somewhere that E has a lot of verticality to it, and if so then I say, "Finally!" It seems like Respawn has been vertically challenged since the King's nerf in season 14. That used to be a map where I never had to touch the ground if I didn't want to. If this new map is even close to that then I'll Valk up and have a very fun season indeed.

My only question is, how many NEW environmental sounds have been added with this new map to an already completely, fully stretched out and crumbling audio platform, that will be utterly useless to the game as a whole, that's only purpose in the end, will be to dilute enemy footsteps even more than they already are.

There's definitely a lot more verticality here, absolutely.

A lot more variety than I was expecting from "the city map" too. We'll see if there's a widely-accepted favorite POI eventually, but there are quite a few contenders.

Not to be cynical, but the favorite (meaning, for hot droppers) will be whichever is biggest and nearest the center of the map. Five squad minimum every single time. Which is great for me. Way less trouble out at the edges where the nerds hang out.

@CCbathwater It's one of the reasons we need straightshot drop system. You got to see all the pois.

This is for the entire community. I want to hear or see ya'll opinions about the map E-District. I will be asking about it again Mid-Season and towards the End Season.
My Opinion on E-District is that it's only good for Causal Play not Rank. The season just dropped but after playing a couple of games I already see the problems. Maps like E-District makes me want to ask for Kings Canyon back which by the way is the most underrated map for rank. Community complains about 3rd parties and probably other things too for Kings Canyon, but these large maps is not good for rank. E-District and Broken Moon are not good for Rank. Storm Point, Olympus, World's Edge are perfect for Rank. Somehow Kings Canyon the OG map, the very first map is a question mark for Causal Play and/or for Rank.
In short they need to separate Maps for Causal Play and Maps for Rank. Stop adding new maps for rank in general until the season spilt or wait for next season. I know they done this before I would at least ask the devs to take this as something to look back into for the future please.
What are your thoughts on the Map E-District?

Map is fine, the performance is however very sub-par and unstable. I get 144fps easily with any other map but with this one i get 90-110 average with very frequent freezes. I get it's more packed and has more detail in every corner but surely something can be done about this. (r5 5600h/3060 laptop 115w)
Also shield refill sounds are now broken, just fyi.
