Respawn Entertainment has announced that Apex Legends has been patched to bring the Escape update online. Players will have a new Legend to try out and tons of new content to explore including a new map.
Ash is a new Legend that will arrive with the Escape patch and players will be sent deep into the Oceans of Gaia to try their hands on the new Storm Point map. The update is rounded out by a new weapon, quality of life improvements, and much more.
- New Map Storm Point: Storm Point looks enticing, but the pristine beaches and crystal waters are just the eye of the hurricane. Teeming with wild Prowlers and a new kind of enemy swarm, venomous spiders, the gathering storms only add to the tension in the air. Legends have arrived and will find new ways to travel across the map’s diverse POIs which include island clusters, jungle compounds, and a base embedded within a giant mountain marking the highest location in any Apex Legends map to date.
- New Legend Ash: A simulacrum made from the woman who once was Dr. Ashleigh Reid, Ash detects death wherever she goes, spearing enemies with electric snares that lock them in place, tearing through space to take more lives. It would be easy to think that there was nothing human left within that cold steel.
- CAR SMG: A flexible weapon, the C.A.R. SMG is capable of firing both Light and Heavy ammo. The Combat Advanced Round submachine gun is fully automatic and delivers a fair amount of recoil – as some players might remember from the gun’s storied past.
