Apex Legends map loot tiers defined

Underneath the identify, there might be a sign of the loot tier for this location for this match.

I say “for that match” as a result of it seems that the loot tiers are considerably randomised. However, there’s quite a lot of rivalry relating to this level among the many Apex Legends playerbase, largely as a result of evidently every location has a possible loot tier which solely typically deviates to a distinct tier.

Apex Legends map areas – the place to land
Now let’s check out a number of the areas throughout King’s Canyon in Apex Legends, and examine them to 1 one other when it comes to place, dimension, loot high quality, and another components price contemplating. As time goes on we might flesh out this checklist to include each named location, however for now listed here are some glorious touchdown spots so that you can discover in your matches.
Note: The period of time you spend in a location relies upon largely on the place of the Ring, which is able to reveal itself to you inside the second minute of every match. For full particulars on the Ring and its behaviour over the course of a match, try our Apex Legends Ring information.
Artillery is a well-liked space on the far north of the map. Quite massive and stuffed with high-quality loot 9 occasions out of ten, it’s a harmful scorching drop stuffed with massive buildings that may take maybe a minute or extra to totally discover. Ziplines within the roofs of the most important buildings enable for fast journey out and in of hazard, and the tunnel to the west provides a loot-filled alternate pathway out of the world when you’re completed.
You’ve additionally received the area south of Artillery which, whereas it seems on the map like an enormous expanse of nothing particularly, accommodates quite a lot of provide crates – extra, in actual fact, than in Artillery itself! So if Artillery seems to be too scorching for you (or a workforce beats you to the bottom there) a superb choice is to land simply south, loot up, and take them on when you’re prepared. For extra data on totally different Supply Bin areas, try our Apex Legends loot information.
Relay’s downfall is that it’s within the very top-right nook of King’s Canyon, and also you’ll typically end up having to move central sooner to be able to keep away from being hit by the damage-dealing Ring that steadily encroaches throughout the map. However, for groups on the lookout for a barely quieter early-game, Relay comes filled with high-quality gear more often than not and also you’re unlikely to seek out too many different gamers – maybe one other workforce, not more than that.
Be conscious additionally which you could get onto the tiny island to the north and again by way of two ziplines. Don’t skip the home on that island, as a result of we’ve discovered it typically accommodates some nice stuff.
Our first mid-tier-loot-heavy location, Skull Town continues to be an amazing place for a workforce to land as a result of it’s large enough for a workforce to go away outfitted with first rate sufficient gear to defend themselves. It’s pretty central and straightforward to rotate to totally different close by areas comparable to Market, Thunderdome, Airbase and Water Treatment.
It’s additionally a superb various to Thunderdome, which, whereas it typically (supposedly) accommodates higher-tier loot, is so unfold out that it takes a very long time to loot and can typically end in a break up occasion. Skull Town has the advantage of being compact, and can assist to maintain your workforce collectively as a single unit. However, it’s nearly at all times the goal for no less than one or two different groups, so loot rapidly and put together for an early struggle for those who go there.
Another high-tier-weighted location, Repulsor is similar to Artillery (even going as far as to have the identical fashion of buildings) however really has extra buildings than Artillery, in addition to an underground tunnel system which accommodates flooring loot and provides a superb methodology of escaping or initiating throughout fights.
It’s additionally related to Hydro Dam to the north, which hardly ever accommodates good loot however continues to be typically used as a touchdown space for no less than one workforce, so hold a watch particularly in your northern aspect when you’re looting up in Repulsor. I want to move south first, to the small cluster of buildings under Repulsor, earlier than heading into the following Ring.
Slum Lakes is a heavy focus of tiny homes packed into the far north-west nook of the map. It nearly at all times accommodates mid-tier loot, however the advantage of Slum Lakes is which you could cross extraordinarily rapidly from one home to the following, and because of this you’re just about at all times protected and lined from all sides when you’re looting.
There’s additionally a line of buildings embedded into the cliffs to the north-east of Slum Lakes which you’ll be able to loot when you’re completed with Slum Lakes correct, and though it’s not precisely a central location there’s at all times a scorching air balloon on the east aspect of Slum Lakes that you should utilize to journey rapidly to the remainder of King’s Canyon.
As a basic rule, rivers in battle royale maps are a dying zone. Difficult terrain and surrounded by excessive floor from which enemies can snipe down at you with out warning, if you wish to land right here you’re going to need a simple approach out. This is what Bunker supplies – stuffed with high-tier loot, you’ll be able to cross proper beneath the huge cliff there and thru the underground advanced to the opposite aspect, the place you’ll be able to simply rotate over to Airbase, Runoff, or The Pit – all of which by the way, just about at all times have high-tier loot as properly.
I used to be really amazed wanting on the above loot map, as a result of each time I’ve landed at Market it’s at all times been mid-tier loot reasonably than low-tier. But regardless, whereas it doesn’t essentially have the most effective probability to seek out purple or gold gear, Market is an effective central location from which you’ll be able to rotate in any course when you’ve looted up. The large Market constructing alone typically has sufficient weapons to package out a workforce of three, and after which you could head over to the smaller buildings to the west after which the south.
Much like touchdown in Slum Lakes with its tiny compacted homes, touchdown within the Market constructing has the advantage of isolating you from the remainder of the map till you’re good and prepared. But be warned – there are solely a few doorways to this large constructing, so it’s typically higher to make use of the ziplines as much as the roof to be able to reposition your self if threatened by an enemy workforce.
Airbase is situated on the west coast of the King’s Canyon island, and is most of the time filled with high-quality loot. It exists in its personal little bubble separate from the map because of the large dam that cordones the world off from all over the place else.
There are a number of areas on the coast the place yow will discover clusters of loot crates, making for glorious areas to hit the bottom; and you should definitely verify the interiors of the ships docked right here, as a result of they typically include the most effective loot in your entire place.
That’s every part we’ve received for now on the packed and engaging Apex Legends map that’s King’s Canyon.
