Plus a revamped Storm Point map and cross progression - finally!

First off, let’s talk about brand new Legend Conduit.

She went exploring on a highly-radiated battlefield and came across the battery.

In a recent online press briefing I got to learn more about the thought process behind Conduit’s design.

This is combined with vibrant colours to reflect her excitement at joining the famous Apex Games.

Next, let’s talk about Conduit’s abilities!

First up, we have her Passive which is called Savior’s Speed.

Finally, Conduit’s Ultimate ability is called Energy Barricade.

This season, you’re able to drop into Storm Point, Olympus and Broken Moon.

As mentioned, the new additions and changes don’t stop there.

In one final point about Storm Point, there is now more loot to be had!

Speaking of other Legends, let’s quickly touch on some changes happening to the rest of the team.

On reductions, the time extension for Revenant’s ultimate has been reduced from 30 seconds to just three.

It’s not all reductions though, as a few Legends are getting some buffs this season.

Vantage has an extra bullet in her ultimate which now takes the grand total up to six.

Next up, Cross Progression.

That’s right, after a long but patient wait, Apex Legends is finally implementing it soon.

Once we have more information on the process, we will let you know.

Bullet drop ballistics for the Charge Rifle have also been improved, to encourage you to take longer-range shots.

Arguably, the biggest news here is the Wingman now being included, removing it from ground loot.

If that wasn’t enough, the Boosted Loader will also be built-in.

Sadly, this does remove the Booster Loader from any and all ground loot throughout Ignite.

With the Wingman going in, the L-Star is coming out.

Crafting is also seeing a few changes for season 19.

Last but not least, the ranked updates and changes for Apex Legends Season 19.

Your data from Resurrection will be considered for your ranking alongside your provisional match scoring.

On to the final, and probably biggest, point about ranked - the introduction of Promotional Trials.

You start with a five match chance to prove your worth by completing the trials.

Once you’ve hit 10 matches and still fail, you’ll work your way to the trials again.

Diamond players should be wary as failing at this rank will have more severe punishments.

That’s everything we can tell you for now!

Here’s hoping you enjoy Apex Legends: Ignite when it releases on Tuesday, 31st October 2023.
