Crypto seeks to show the truth in Apex Legends Season 3: Meltdown

By

The third season of Apex Legends is set to launch on October 1, and headlining the battle royale shooter’s future is a mysterious new character named Crypto.

The Season 3 announcement trailer features the back story of Crypto, who is responsible for all the changes that happened to Apex Legends at the start of Season 2.

Crypto is out for revenge against The Syndicate, the group behind the Apex Games, after what happened to his (presumably) sister Mila. Crypto was framed for the murder of Mila after they discover an algorithm in the King’s Canyon database that predicts the next winner of the Apex Games, which may be used to make lots of money by betting on the matches.

The trailer ends with Crypto saying that it is time “to show them the truth” and “to play my game,” ominous warnings for what lies ahead for Apex Legends.

Crypto’s plan started to unfold in Season 2, with the destruction of the Repulsor Tower to open up King’s Canyon to massive beasts. It remains to be seen what the hacker has in store for Season 3, but several hints point to the possibility of the map again undergoing significant changes, this time with the addition of lava and ice.

In addition to Crypto, Season 3 will roll out a new Battle Pass that promises more than 100 new items to earn, and an updated Ranked League that will implement a soft reset on players’ current ranks, but in exchange for ranked cosmetic rewards. The Ranked League will also start counting assists in player’s scores, and will issue penalties against players who leave in the middle of a match.

Also coming to Apex Legends is the Charge Rifle, a weapon from the Titanfall universe that is mainly used to take down Titans. The powerful gun may not be the only connection to the Titanfall series in Season 3 though, as the mercenary Blisk is also said to be coming soon to Apex Legends. The pending addition of the Charge Rifle and the rumored arrival of Blisk raises hope that Titans will soon drop into the battle royale shooter.

Respawn will reveal more details about Season 3 of Apex Legends as the release date draws near. The developer is looking for a more successful rollout this time around, compared with the lackluster launch of Season 2.

The best settings for Apex Legends Mobile
One legend kicks another in the face.

Apex Legends Mobile is a fully-fledged and featured version of the hit battle royale game built for playing on the go. Aside from the game being of great quality, the developers also wanted to make sure that this version was just as accessible and customizable as the console and PC versions.

Apex Legends Mobile offers a suite of settings that make most mobile games' settings menus look like a joke. You have way more options here than just adjusting volume settings, and in fact, you can do a ton to make this version of the game just as comfortable and fun to play as it would be on a console or PC. But unless you're comfortable tweaking these settings and you know what you're doing under the hood, it can also be a challenge to get the game running the best that it can. If you're a little lost but want to get the most out of Apex Legends Mobile, here are the best settings to change.

The best legends in Apex Legends Mobile
A party of Legends prepares for battle.

Taking elements from hero shooters, Apex Legends introduced a cast of unique characters that filled different roles, with their own set of skills to make your knowledge of the roster and team compositions just as much a factor as your ability to pop heads. Apex Legends Mobile starts off with a smaller starting roster of Legends than the main title, but it's just as complex a battle royale.

However, just like in any shooter where each character has their own suite of abilities and situational strengths and weaknesses, nothing can be perfectly balanced. Some Legends, intentionally or not, are just plain better than others. Looking at every Legend in Apex Legends Mobile so far, assuming you're playing in a squad, we've come up with what are the top-tier Legends in the game.

The best weapons in Apex Legends Mobile
A party of Legends prepares for battle.

It may be the little brother to the console and PC versions, but Apex Legends Mobile is just as action packed and skill dependent as the best battle royale games out there. It retains all the core features that made the original so special in a genre that was getting flooded with copycats thanks to a smart blending of unique Legends, squad-focused matches, and the fast and fluid gameplay. While your chosen Legend is a key component to playing, the real battles almost always come down to who has the best gun and skill to use it.

Apex Legends Mobile doesn't hold back in terms of the weapons it offers. All of them will be familiar to fans who have poured hours into the original Apex Legends, but since this isn't just a straight up port of that game, not all guns will be as useful, or as bad, as they once were. Of course, balance changes will be a thing in Apex Legends Mobile, but for right now, these are the best weapons in the game you should seek out when looting.
