Apex Legends Season 8 – Mayhem Launch Trailer | NxGaming
n the new season, we should see the following updates:
New Legend - Fuse
Map Changes - Kings Canyon
New Weapon - 30-30 Repeater
New Battle Pass
Bug Fixes
Quality of life improvements
James McCord, Apex Legends' Design Director, has confirmed that a damage tracker will be implemented into the game - allowing you to see how much damage you dished out in around.
Bloodhound should also receive a new Skydive emote.
There are a number of Champion changes we're expecting including:
Wattson (Buff)
Wraith (Nerf)
Horizon (Nerf)
Rampart (Buff)
This is due to their pick/win rate and there general kits being far better than others.
New Legend Fuse
Fuse is the next legend to fight it out in the Apex games.
He's an Australian, which many suspected due to a leaked wallaby gun charm.
He fixated heavily on a golden grenade he found when adventuring with a friend.
Since then the two of them have been stealing it off each other, no matter the situation.
They both grew older together always sticking close by one another.
Eventually, Fuse became the bone cage champion!
Till one day Fuse decided he was leaving Salvo, the planet they both resided on.
His companion didn't take that well and took the pinout of the grenade, a back and forth occurred between the two.
Due to the explosion that ensued, Fuse ended up losing his arm!
impact files were added including:
bounce_mortar_rin_missle.txt
exp_mortar_ring_missle.txt
Not to mention there are Special Effects for his Abilities/Ult:
SFX_Ability_Fuse_Ult_FlameStart
SFX_Ability_Fuse_Ult_FlameBurn
SFX_Ability_Fuse_Ult_SmallMissile_Incoming
SFX_Ability_Fuse_Ult_SmallMissile_Expolo
His tactical grenade and spray have also been added to the files:
mdl/weapons_r5/misc_fuse_tactical_grenade/ptpov_fuse_tactical_grenade_held.rmdl
spray_lgnd_v20_fuse_01
His expected abilities are:
Explosions
Firebomb
Metal Bomb
Previous concepts detailed his abilities as follows:
Stockpile (Passive) - Ordinances can be carried in stacks of three in your inventory
Remote Detonator (Tactical) - Allows him to remotely detonate any and all ordinances, or explosives, in his inventory
Thermite Drone (Ultimate) - Deploy an explosive drone that would “patrol proximity and seek out any enemies that enter it, exploding into thermite.
30-30 Repeater
The 30-30 Repeater has been confirmed to be the next gun to come to Apex Legends.
Originally the weapon was spotted in a dev stream.
It seems to be a heavy ammo gun.
How Much Will the Season 8 Battle Pass Cost?
So far, every Battle Pass has cost 950 Apex Coins, so we assume that the Season 6 Battle Pass will cost the same, which would mean purchasing 1,000 coins from the store.
The Season 8 launch trailer gives us a first look at Fuse's abilities in action – and RIP Kings Canyon 💀
