For those that didn’t watch the whole video, here are the cliff notes:
New Legend: Forge
He is an MMA ‘Hyper Fighting Federation’ Champion.
He is sponsored by ‘Hammond Robotics’ (the company responsible for Titans, Spectres and Marvin robots among other things)
And his ‘has a strong left hook
New Gun: ‘The Sentinel’ (Sniper rifle)
It has a ‘charge mechanic’
interestingly they say it is the ‘first gun to have it’ so i assume it will work differently from the Charge Rifle of Precision Choke equipped Tripple take
Ranked Mode: Apex Predator rank has been renamed to ‘Master’ rank
The top 500 players per region will be given ‘Apex Predator’ Rank when ranks reset
If you are kicked out of the top 500 before the end of a rank reset, you do not keep it, so you must maintain your top 500 spot
Season 4: Will be comprised of two ‘splits’ (Split 1 – Feb 3 to Mar 23) (Split 2 – Mar 24 to May 5th)
Split 1 will take place with Worlds Edge being the map in rotation
Split 2 will take place with Kings Canyon being the map in rotation
Ranks will reset between splits
End of Season ranked rewards will give you a reward for the highest rank you achieved from both splits.
I hate him I wish it was someone else
@steak.toaster No, just a map switch. Two ranked “seasons”, but the rewards will be based off both splits.
@Pugnut21 ohhh ok. Thanks.
Jesus Christ you described the entire video
Thx for the help
[*When the whole apex community thinks revenant is gonna be the next legend*]
Apex: ha what about this buff big guy named forge B)
We got bamboozled
He looks like a scottish brawler with a john cena belt and doomfist arm. And very T H I C C.
revenant: Am I a joke to you?
I think we might ger boath since in the game code forge has like 5 assets but revenant has like 500
Everyone: Revenant Is New Legend.
Apex: NewLegend Is Forge.
Everyone: (Confused Unga Bunga)
Man, can’t believe it’s already been a year. Time flies when you’re having fun.
Right
12:46 he seems really tense about not spoiling something.
Maybe new game mode?
@Mudd Blood Revenant
Literally entire community: Oh boi can’t wait for Revenent
Respawn: *You’ve been bamboozled! Look at you…*
us: they haven’t given any info yet, but this season is gonna be HUGE!
respawn: buff boy new snipe
the charge mechanic gonna be something like half charge gives hammer point effect and full charge for disruptor rounds effect,not sure but remeber me when it comes true?
“Called it !”
10:39 This is where the S4 details come in btw
Thanks
Revenant: Its Gotta Be Me
Loba: Its Obviously Me
Forge: *You Got Bamboozled Look At You*
He doesn’t have mirages abilities last time I checked
@Random r/woooosh
roseystorm r/wooooooosh
sarcasm????
?
Everyone: revenant is next
Forge: who?
lmao
your actually weird
I was ready for Revenant but… I guess this Is pretty nice for those aggro
*Character stares at another character*
The community: “Now this is a ship”
Steak Taco Beats nah
Palomeitor E i just wondered the same after watching this. Maybe was too flirty with Octane
Me: scrolling through trending sees apex legends
Me: That was unexpected
First thing
Who use trending?
16:51 Can’t tell what is the best part about this, a picture of kings canyon or the 2 most hated places in worlds edge getting destroyed
I fucking hate the map in general
Bogdan Shumenko same i miss kings canyon so much, i actually quit apex because of the new map ..
@Mudd Blood epicenter is the chillest place to drop I hate that it’s being destroyed
who knows maybe hammond will just fucking wipe them off the map
Worlds Edge is the reason why I stopped playing the game months ago. It sucks so fucking much.
i ship them
l
5:50 uh uh uh wattson has a crush on octane here !
If they had a child together, their kid would be legendary!
Weirdo
Sentinel: First Charge Sniper
Havoc with select fire: Am I a Joke to you?
Season 1 Peacekeeper: are you sure you are the first Charge Sniper?
The charge rifle is the og
Man, I remember when Destiny 1 was the real deal…
Titangamerhd og is a cringe word
Don’t forget the EVA with a precision choke back around valentine’s day, that could reach from one end of bridges to the other on kings canyon
Everyone: *crashes through the roof* “…Revenant is coming…”
People who knew it was forge: …who?
“We’ve never made a character based game before”
*Confusion in B.T.*
the reason why is because the game still suffers from many key issues namely:
horrible legend balance
poor weapon balance
tons of server issues
a great amount of bugs
and now people are angry again cuz they reverted the skill matchmaking due to popular opinion
and also it doesnt help that origin does nothing to enable personal customisation or good chat and voice comminucations along with that the devs only publish super high priced skins filled with constant lootboxes
personally the grand soiree was looking super good in my opinion, but they reverted the skill matchmaking which makes the game a complete nightmare when playing solo, and obviously peole aren’t happy when they get unfairly 3rd partied or chocked due to ring placement. its generally a lot of super punishing elements in the game that make people angry.
I don’t care about the leaks, and the new character looks cool, was hoping on another big boy to be honest.
But the fact that they’re adding a new another sniper is disappointing, to say the least. Keep in mind this is the last new gun we’re getting for 4+ months.
Personally I was hoping on some new Ordinance, and grenade launcher that uses your Ordinance and gives it more range / accuracy.
Vigilante thank you I was looking for the song as well
@Torak8988 yeah everything you just said has nothing to do with what was mentioned. We’re talking about the anger over the new additions, not the other obvious issues the game has.
@Oxygen I agree honestly. Even without leaks, another sniper is disappointing to be honest. Still, forge looks sick af and im hyped!
The hoes just be mad sometimes
Random, How can one be so dumb?
