Limited-Time Event Coming Next Week Plus First Season 2 Battle Pass Details

The Legendary Hunt is almost here, plus first details on improvements coming to the Season 2 Battle Pass.

www.ea.com

My highlights:

Starting next Tuesday, we’ll be kicking off a new event called The Legendary Hunt. This limited-time event will last two weeks, and with it brings all this to Kings Canyon:

• Apex Elite Queue
  • Test yourself against the best with the Apex Elite queue. Make it to the Top 5 in any match to earn your way into a select queue full of other Top 5 winners.
  • Here’s the catch: in order to continue playing in the queue you will have to keep placing in the Top 5.
• Legendary Hunt Challenge Rewards
  • Complete a set of limited-time challenges and earn new Rare, Epic, and Legendary skins.
• Double XP Weekend
  • From Friday, June 7 at 10 a.m. PST through Monday, June 10 at 10 a.m. PST, earn double XP on base progression and Battle Pass progression.
• Battle Pass Bonus XP
  • Finish Top 5 in any match and earn an entire Battle Pass level (once per day).
• Legendary Hunt Store Skins
  • Every three to four days during the event, we’ll have new Legendary Hunt themed skins rotating through the in-game store for direct purchase.
• Two Additional Legendary Skins for all Battle Pass Owners
  • Players who have the Wild Frontier Battle Pass will automatically get the Legendary Honored Prey R-301 skin.
  • Players who reach Battle Pass level 15 before the end of the event will get the Wraith Night Terror Legendary skin.

SeasonPass 2:

TL;DR on Just Some of the Coming Improvements

• Level up via Daily and Weekly Challenges.
• Time to Battle Pass level 100 should be significantly reduced.
• Three additional Legendary skins added to the rewards track.
• Three entirely new content categories replace badge and stat tracker rewards.
• You’ll earn enough Crafting Metal rewards from the full reward track to craft a Legendary item, or whatever your heart desires.

This is what I've been waiting for.

Nice, I'll be there.

Very good news. I hope that if we don't get a new map that King's Canyon will be modified a bit. Also I need more than one legend per season, they already have a bunch made they should put out 2 per season. I'm guessing Watson will be in season 2 but I want somebody else too.

I hope that ... that King's Canyon will be modified a bit.

I think it will. There have been some leaks here and there.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Nice. I can see them dropping 3 new legends at E3, where they can demonstrate each characters' playstyle

I havent played apex in forever, I really do hope they can fix the net code and start putting out lots more content to make it interesting. I'll wait and see for season 2 impressions but hopefully be moved to purchase. I skipped season 1 totally after seeing all that was on offer.

APEX who?

They completely blew it with the game. These kind of games need to be constantly evolving or just changing.

 

[Mista]

Good stuff right there. The game needs challenges to keep the players coming back
