Lessons learned from Apex Legends Season 4

Apex Legends Season 4: Assimilation brings a lot of interesting content, including new Revenant skills, changes to World’s Edge map, new Battle Pass and more. Here are the big takeaways from when Season 4 of Apex Legends came out.

Revenant is strong and will probably change the game’s meta

Surely everyone has experienced Revenant’s skills, and also knows that this is a very strong hero.

Death Totem, Revenant’s ultimate, allows him and his teammates to rush and attack enemies without paying too much. Note that the enemy can also use your Death Totem, so choose safe and undetectable locations to activate the ultimate. The tactical move, Silence, is something that will annoy the opponent when it completely disables the opponent’s set of moves. In addition to the passive, Stalker allows Revenant to move faster when crouching and climbing walls higher than other legends.

With his own set of moves suitable for active play, Revenant promises to bring big changes to the current meta of Apex Legends.

Big change in World’s Edge map

Before Season 4, Respawn said the map would get “major” changes, but no one expected them to change so big.

Map has many new interesting points, including Planet Harvester and Survey Camp. Meanwhile, Capitol City is divided into two, forming two areas named Fragment East and Fragment West.

The tactics in the game will most likely change

Like every other battle royale game, high-level gamers of Apex Legends often have strategies and plans: where to land, what loot to find, change locations, etc.

With the changes applied, specifically the map, the strategy in the game will change.

For example, the new Survey Camp is a small location with less loot than other attractions, but it has a new Weapon Racks – guaranteed to have guns as soon as the player lands.

So, gamers will now have to decide if they want to land in a hot spot to get good loot or go to the quiet Survey Camp area to get a good gun.

In addition, there is a large rift that divides Capitol City into two regions. The only way you can get through this crack is by using the available zip-line and broken bridge or Ultimate from Octane or Pathfinder.

Remember that if you accidentally stumble here, it will not cause your character to die, because Respawn has added a new mechanism called Updraft – bringing anyone who falls back to safety. To balance, falling players will lose 25 health and be brought up quite slowly – so there is a high risk that you could become a target for the opponent.

Such changes will affect location swaps and how players prepare for engagements: jumping into the rift can be seen as an urgent tactic for survival.

Sentinel sniper rifle

Like what happened from Season 1 to 3, Season 4 of Apex Legends will have a new weapon – a sniper rifle called Sentinel.

Although the Sentinel’s damage is quite high, but as a bolt-action sniper gun, the discharge rate is very slow. What makes this sniper gun special is the mechanism of replacing normal ammunition with armor-breaking ammunition, but to use armor-breaking ammunition requires the player to sacrifice 1 Shield Battery in exchange for 1 magazine. breaking borders. The amount of damage dealt will be more when shooting at an armored opponent and return to base damage when shooting at an unarmored target. As far as we know, the Sentinel is only suitable for playing from a distance or used as an armor-breaking gun for high-level gamers.

Apex Legends Season 4 is out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
