Apex Legends is on the verge of having its 5th season. With a new legend, a new battle pass, new cosmetics, the game is building up for something bigger. We also learned this past week that Apex Legends would feature Kings Canyon Unearthed. They have changed several aspects, one of the popular places also gave way for incorporating new elements. Skull Town – a hallowed place for all Apex lovers, is no more. Instead, new drop locations will replace it. While it was hard to say goodbye, The Gaming Merchant [https://twitter.com/GamingMerchant_] made sure that it gets a proper send-off. He took to Twitter with his post organizing a grand celebration to bid farewell to Skull town. The entire lobby gathered around the desert to try their best and give a grand send-off before it goes back to dust. These moments define the entire essence of a game. It is heartbreaking and yet wonderful to see how the community comes together to stand as one. APEX LEGENDS BIDS FAREWELL TO SKULL TOWN The Gaming Merchant choreographed the entire phenomenon. There were several reasons why players loved Skull Town. Primarily the loot was bountiful, and the fire-fights gave a better experience. As compared to other spots, this one actually inspired the high-octane rush gameplay. However, this was also one of the reasons people hated Skull Town because no one wants to get in a fight right after dropping. There were several who were happy with the news that Skull Town is up for removal. While half the community organized a farewell, the other half breathed a sigh of peace. This diversity in opinion, is what makes gaming communities all accepting and beautiful. Read more – Apex Legends Gameplay Trailer Reveals Loba’s Abilities. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/apex-legends-gameplay-trailer-reveals-lobas-abilities-esports-news-2020/] TRAILER REVEAL AND NEW REPLACEMENT. Loba destroyed the hidden factory under Skull Town in her search for Revenant. This indicates how the storyline directly affects the gameplay. Nevertheless, the farewell had beautiful moments with people writing “RIP Skull Town.” with their electrified fences. The moment was truly genuine and heartfelt. Moving on to what comes next is what makes the past beautiful. The Kings Canyon Unearthed version will feature a total top-to-bottom restructuring for Skull Town. Perhaps they are going to make it more interesting than before. The only thing we know as of now is that Skull Town’s revamp will take a while to normalize. Nonetheless, Apex fans are patiently looking forward to a brighter tomorrow. 

Season 5 of Apex Legends is almost upon us. The Kings Canyon Unearthed will
feature some new elements, as of now a popular drop location is removed.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-522846" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210121204147/96ecc-15994082424546-800-3-1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="479" />
<h2>Apex Legends: First Release</h2>
Apex Legends was released on February 4, 2019, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It is one of the most prominent battle royales, featuring hero shooter mechanics, known for its high-octane and adrenaline-pumping gameplay.

After its release, the game gained immense popularity worldwide and positive critical reception. It was even considered a worthy competitor to the other popular battle royales at the time, like Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Although some might say Apex isn't as popular as it once was, there are still millions around the world who jump in daily.
<h2>What is Apex Legends?</h2>
It is a free-to-play battle royale game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. Contenders from all across the Frontier with diverse backgrounds team up on the battlefield for glory, fame, and fortune.
<dl>Apex Legends characters are known as Legends. Each legend having a different set of abilities makes it a very strategic battle royale. Players have to comprehend their legend's abilities and utilize their team's strengths on the battlefield to get the jump on opponents.</dl>
<dl>After releasing in 2019, the game revolutionized the perception of battle royales with its innovative combat. Players have access to Respawn Beacons to resurrect teammates. The in-game voice lines for every legend help players communicate quickly and make the gameplay feel unique.</dl>
<dl>Inventory management is also very efficient, and the Jumpmaster deployment feature allows a team to jump into the action together.</dl>
<dl></dl>
Furthermore, there are regular seasons in the game. Players get to experience a plethora of new content on a seasonal basis. A new season also brings a fresh Apex Legends Battle Pass, with progression features and rewards. Players can compete to unlock new Legends, weapons, cosmetic items, and more.
<dl></dl>
<h2>What is the point of Apex Legends?</h2>
Like other battle royales, the ultimate goal is to become the last man standing. In Apex, up to 20 three-man squads land on a map, search for and equip weapons and supplies to combat opponents.

The game progresses in Rounds, and the shrinking circular zone is called the Ring. The Ring deals more damage over time as it shrinks to smaller sizes. There are a total of 8 Rounds until the final shrinking zone encloses the whole Apex Legends map.

Players have to be on the move constantly for good positioning in the zone. Otherwise, they end up outside the play area, taking constant damage. Ultimately, the last team standing wins the match.

Being an online multiplayer battle royale, the game features different modes. Currently, there are a total of five available Apex Legends game modes: the regular "Play Apex" game mode, Duos, Ranked Leagues, the Firing Range, and Training. Apart from that, a variety of limited-time modes become available during particular events.
<h2>Legends, Weapons, Gear, Attachments</h2>
Each Legend in the game is different with unique abilities, backstory, and playstyle. They are further segregated into four classes: Offensive, Defensive, Support, and Recon. What makes the Apex Legends characters stand out from one another is their uncommon individual tactical, passive, and ultimate abilities.

Players can deal damage to enemies with weapons, including guns and throwables. Ammo and weapon attachments spawn on the ground, and different guns require different types of ammo and attachments.

Other than regular weapons, Legendary Weapons are fully-kitted weapons that spawn with all attachments equipped. Players can also find certain weapons in Care Packages. Such weapons are also known as supply drop weapons and are some of the strongest in the game.

Gear plays an essential part in the Apex Legends gameplay. Players can equip these items which take their own slots in the inventory. Helmets, Armor, Knockdown Sheilds, and Backpacks are the four types of gear in the game.

Moreover, gear has different levels and rarity. Level 1 is Common, Level 2 is Rare, Level 3 is Epic, Level 4 is Legendary, and finally, Level 5 is Heirloom.

Players can apply attachments to their weapons to improve the firing rate, magazine size, recoil, etc. The rarity levels for most weapon attachments vary from Common to Epic. However, some attachments have Legendary variants that come with specific buffs.

Additionally, attachments have different categories. These categories are Weapon attachments, Magazines, Optic attachments, and Hop-Up attachments.
<h2>What planet is Apex Legends on?</h2>
The game takes place in the same sci-fi universe as Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall and Titanfall 2.

A combination of star systems, the Outlands, on the extreme edge of The Frontier was captured by a conglomerate of several mercenary companies known as the Mercenary Syndicate, at the end of the Frontier War. The group of mercenaries settled as the ruling body of the region, thereby rekindling an age-old bloodsport and renaming it as the Apex Games.

Currently, there are two Apex Legends maps, both of them situated in the Outlands. While Kings Canyon is located on the planet Solace, World's Edge, introduced in Apex Legends Season 3, dwells on the planet Talos.
<h2>Is Apex Legends cross-platform?</h2>
At the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/apex-legends-cross-play-imminent-with-possibility-of-other-features-in-the-future-esports-news/">EA Play Live</a> showcase in June 2020, Respawn Entertainment announced that Apex Legends will be coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam in Fall 2020. Consequently, Respawn will also enable Apex Legends to cross-play with the Switch/Steam launch.
