Apex Legends Season 13: Saviors offers a huge dose of balance changes, a new character named Newcastle, new events, tons of cosmetics, and more. It’s all shaping up to be a big time for fans of the popular battle royale, so we’ve compiled all the most important information about the upcoming season here so you can know exactly what’s what.
When does Season 13: Saviors start?
Apex Legends seasons are each three months long to allow for a total of four seasons per year, and Respawn has announced that fans will be able to dive into Season 13: Saviors on all platforms beginning May 10.. Of course, that date is except for an unexpected delay that could arise for various reasons. Season delays have happened in the past, so it’s not completely out of the question, but it’s still an unlikely scenario.
What’s new in season 13?
Season 13 is adding a new character to the ever-expanding roster, updating the ranked system, and changing some parts of its new Storm Point map. Here’s what you need to know about those changes.
Newcastle defensive legend
Known as the “Hero of Harris Valley,” Apex Legends’ newest character Newcastle is the legendary Bangalore’s beloved brother, adding new depth to the existing lore and no doubt setting the two brothers up for some awkward encounters as battle each other in the Apex Games.
Newcastle abilities will bring more protection abilities to the meta of the game allowing you to protect allies and defend positions. His passive allows him to drag downed allies to safety so they can take cover, while his tactical ability allows him to use a large shield to provide cover for teammates, and seems to work more similarly to the shield of Gibraltar in that he will not win. t allow the passage of bullets. Meanwhile, her ultimate deploys an even bigger shield with strategically designed gaps for allies to shoot through while remaining protected.
classified reloaded
Season 13 will also make some updates to Apex Legends’ ranked mode, which Respawn refers to as “ranked reloaded.”
A description of the changes suggests what to expect, saying, “Rise and fall through the ranks together in a reworked ranking system that rewards teamwork and skill.”
Fans speculate that this means there will be more serious consequences for losing in the mode, with repeated failures resulting in demotion to lower ranks.
Storm Point Map Changes
Apex Legends’ newest map, Storm Point, is also seeing some changes in Season 13. A giant sea monster has been killed and washed ashore on the western shore of the map, giving players the opportunity to explore around , and even inside, while searching for their loot. This point of interest is known as Beast Down and is designated a “high-tier loot” area, ensuring it will be a popular landing spot.
IMC armories have also spawned around the map, and are protected by Specter units. If you and your squad can defeat the Wraith, you will have the opportunity to upgrade your equipment. Since the loot that drops from these events is specific to your loadout, you can be sure you’re earning something useful every time.
What’s in Season 13: Saviors Battle Pass?
Season 13 will have a Battle Pass like all other seasons and it is expected to cost 950 Apex Coins. Respawn promises “legendary skins, more reactive and more”. We should know more about the pass closer to the pitch.
