What is it with Apex Legends and hiding secret laboratories beneath the arenas of common televised bloodsports? First we had the labs below Kings Canyon with that massive void portal to get out and in of it, and now we discover on the market’s an enormous facility chock-full of Revenant clones, too. It’s found by upcoming Legend Loba within the Season 5 launch trailer, and we even get a primary take a look at what a few of her skills could be earlier than the fifth season drops subsequent week. Fair warning: it seems to be like she may have the ability to straight up pull your gun out of your arms.
The first potential potential we see is Loba’s translocator. I say potential, however datamines suggested she’d have the ability to teleport, so it’s not an enormous shock. It looks as if her translocating machine may work much like Sombra’s in Overwatch, the place you throw it the place you wish to find yourself, then warp to it.
There’s just a little one thing within the trailer for Titanfall followers when the grasp thief makes use of her subsequent potential, as we watch her swipe a gun proper out of the mechanical arms of a Stalker. They’re robots created by Hammond Robotics (the identical guys who created Rev), and I’m questioning if possibly they’ll be a part of some form of PvE occasion – a bit like Bloodhound’s Town Takeover, maybe. I’m sorry, there’s a extra necessary level right here in that Loba may have the ability to steal weapons. Guns that different gamers are already utilizing. It sounds overpowered and I find it irresistible.
Other than that Loba appears to hold round a employees that might act as some form of melee potential, although it’s additionally attainable this can be a preview of her Heirloom – a particular beauty melee weapon that every Legend will get (they’ve the identical harm output as common melee, they simply look cooler with fancy animations).
None of those skills are confirmed but, in fact, however it appears fairly probably that that is the type of package we’ll should work with when Loba is playable subsequent week.
Aside from discovering out a bit extra about Loba, this trailer additionally confirms a little bit of lore I speculated about final week. I pointed out that parts of Revenant’s 300 year-old human body were probably still intact somewhere, as a result of Hammond Robotics wants it to ensure his robotic self doesn’t go insane. Or, extra insane, I assume. Here he’s, head in a closely guarded jar, nothing creepy about that.
In any case, it’s not lengthy now till we discover out what’s actually happening in that area, as a result of Apex Legends’ fifth season kicks off on Tuesday the 12th of May.
