Season 5 has introduced a lot of beautiful new issues to Apex Legends: the new playable character Loba, large adjustments to the Kings Canyon map, and even a rework for everybody’s favorite holographic trickster. The newness doesn’t cease there although, as a result of final night time the game’s very first story quest went reside. These weekly quests are known as “Hunts”, they usually’re a part of The Broken Ghost, a sequence of separate PvE missions that may unlock all through this Season. If you’re into all of the lore stuff, you’re in luck, as a result of it follows the Legends as they assist Loba seek for artifacts that would put an finish to Revenant.
Before you do the primary mission you’ll be able to learn a dialog between Loba and the remainder of the squad about what they’re as much as. It appears she’s roped everybody into serving to her discover artifacts to destroy a Revenant in one other dimension. At least, I feel that is the case. It’s somewhat complicated proper now, however hopefully future chapters of this story will make every thing somewhat extra clear.
This first mission is fairly easy. You drop in on the Kings Canyon at night time map, head to level A to select up an artifact, then go to level B to get extracted. You gained’t be alone, in fact, as waves of Prowlers (the alien canines, not the SMGs) can be attacking you for just about the complete time. It appears like these missions are all going to observe an analogous kind of sample, however I’m to see in the event that they shake up that system one way or the other. Seeing one other PvE enemy just like the Stalkers within the trailer beneath might be fairly cool.
You can play the Hunts solo or with a squad, and finishing one will reward you with a weapon allure and the subsequent snippet of story. They may be replayed, too, in case you simply fancy messing round with some PvE fight for a bit, or in case you really feel such as you missed one thing the primary time spherical.
It’s price noting that to do these missions you’ll want to gather 5 treasure packs from provide crates in common battle royale matches – and that’s 5 each week to unlock every instalment, too. You can solely get one a day, however it’s not too troublesome to seek out them, they’re often within the first couple packing containers you open in a game. But in case you’re actually determined to play the missions and are lacking a pack, you’ll be able to pay 25 Apex Coins (about 20p in actual cash) to click on the little “catch up” button on the hunt menu and seize one. (Though you’ll be able to’t really purchase simply 25 cash, the minimal you need to get is like 1000. Hm.)
There’s loads extra data on all this quest stuff over on the Apex Legends website.
