In the third – Season of Apex Legends, another map has been added, World’s Edge. Let’s take a look at the best landing locations and where you can find the most loot.
The design of the brand new map World’s Edge was quite unexpected for most: it is at least 50% bigger than King’s Canyon. The size difference between the two maps has both advantages and disadvantages. For example, you have to get used to the smaller number of jump stations and the speed of the storm compared to King’s Canyon.
Sniper’s Ridge
Since this place is not shown on the map, it is definitely one of the less popular ones. However, that’s what makes it a good landing point. Although there isn’t much loot to get here, this place offers especially good high tier loot for snipers. Also, you have the High Ground here and easy access to the drill site and the, filled with epic loot, sky hook.
The Dome
The dome is protected from multiple sides, and you only have to worry about squads coming out of the lava city. This makes it an ideal place to land. In addition, it offers plenty of loot with a total of 22 supply containers. Normally, there aren’t very many players here, as it’s quite close to the edge of the map and most players want to avoid the risk of getting caught in the storm too early. Fortunately, there is a jump station to the north of the dome that can speed up the escape from the storm.
The Refinery
The Thermal Station is one of the largest zones on the map. With 48 supply containers, it takes first place for the highest loot density. This makes it a magnet for a lot of squads and inevitably leads to early battles. Here you either die directly or start the game well equipped.
Comment
As mentioned at the beginning, the new map is significantly larger than King’s Canyon and offers much more open space. Thus, sniper rifles are the preferred weapon here. Among them, especially the Charge Rifle, which can hit targets from several hundred meters away without any problems. If you’re aiming at the bots that drop keys, make sure you use a weapon that will destroy them with one shot.
What is actually… “Apex Legends?
Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?
What is “Apex Legends” about?
Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.
- Genre: Battle Royale shooter
- Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.
At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.
To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.
Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight heroes, each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.
Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and call in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value weapons and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.
How can I play Apex Legends?
Platform: “Apex Legends” is available for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.
Price: The battle royale shooter is a “Free to Play” title and can basically be played for free on all platforms.
In-game purchases: “Apex Legends” allows the purchase of cosmetic items and new heroes either by means of in-game currency, which can be earned for free in every round, or with real money. The real-money currency “Apex Coins” can be purchased in five different amounts: The smallest possible amount is 1000 Apex Points for around 9.99 euros, while the largest pack with 10,000 Apex Points content costs 99.99 euros.
The developer emphasizes that it is not possible to buy game advantages with the help of real money: You can only use it to customize the appearance of the heroes, it says, or purchase new heroes.
Age rating: “Apex Legends” does not have a youth rating (USK 18).
Which technical terms should you know?
Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain locations on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.
Jumpmaster: At the beginning of the game, one of the maximum three players of a team always takes on the role of the jumpmaster. He decides when and where his team enters the game area.
Ping: Using the middle mouse button, players can alert their teammates to interesting locations in the game world or enemies. These pings are a valuable tool for communicating quickly and efficiently within the team.
