Players who’ve been parachuting into free-to-play battle royale Apex Legends (Apelegs? Have we dedicated in some way on Apelegs but?) have found one thing cute – a small plushie model of Nessie, hanging out within the water close to Cascades.
Nessie could also be hiding extra secrets and techniques although, the devs have teased, resulting in a totally fledged manhunt for the elusive cryptids.
There are many of those toys, which additionally made an look within the Titanfall games, scattered via the coaching degree. However, it looks as if the primary individual to (publicly) discover a Nessy within the reside battleground, King’s Canyon, was YouTuber Somewhat Awesome Games, who exhibits off its location on this video (from which I additionally took the header picture for this publish):
Later, a Reddit consumer known as KFranssens10 asked “What does ‘A Nessy Appears’ mean in the kill feed??” Sure sufficient, gamers have been noticing the message in between the stream of who killed whom, apparently for the reason that game launched.
The perpetrator that causes the message seems to be capturing the toys. Who would do such a factor, I don’t know, however individuals have been spurred on in additional plushie violence by cryptic (no pun meant) posts by the builders. Community supervisor Jay Frechette wrote “Let’s just say someone is on to something…” and affiliate producer Josh Medina adopted up with: “How long till someone figures it out? Imma say I have faith in the community and say they get it in a week.”
So far, a spinoff subreddit known as “nessysecrets” has documented a second Nessy, which seems in Skulltown after the primary one is destroyed. Speculation based mostly on an alleged datamine has it that there will probably be ten in whole, which can should be picked off one after the other to ensure that…one thing to occur. What that one thing is is anybody’s guess.
It’s early days, however then once more, the game solely got here out per week in the past. If that is a part of a tease for brand spanking new content material, it’ll most likely repay when the primary season begins in March. How lengthy it’ll take for the Nessies to be bought as cute merchandise à la Overwatch’s pachimari is one other query.
