The best offense is a good defense. Here's how to master Conduit in Apex Legends.
By Claire Lewis on
The launch of Apex Legends Season 19: Ignite brought with it the introduction of Conduit, the 25th legend to join the massive roster of playable characters in Respawn's hit battle royale. Conduit's launch trailer showed off some of her abilities, including her shield-regenerating tactical ability. In the trailer, this shield-regen skill allowed Conduit and her team to run through Bangalore's Rolling Thunder ultimate ability and come out on the other side entirely unscathed.
Legend abilities always look larger than life in Apex's pre-season trailers, but once you're actually playing the game, it's easy to feel slightly overwhelmed--even frustrated--especially when you're unfamiliar with the best way to utilize a new legend's skills. But whether you're struggling to master Conduit's abilities or simply want to refine your skills on the battlefield, we've got you covered. Keep scrolling for a breakdown of everything there is to know about Conduit, including how best to use her abilities to carry your team to the win.
Conduit's kit is, naturally, based on Titanfall 2's Monarch Titan. The Monarch is known for her Upgrade Core, which allows her to boost her combat abilities during a battle, depending on the choices made by her Pilot. Monarch can also siphon power from enemy Titans and use this power to recharge her shields, or those of other friendly Titans. Monarch is the only Titan in Titanfall 2's multiplayer mode that can gain shields without needing a battery, and Monarch's influence on Conduit's battlefield skills is obvious when looking at her abilities, which are listed below.

Conduit gets a speed boost when running towards squadmates who are outside the range of her tactical ability.
Conduit blasts a squadmate with energy, temporarily topping off both her ally's shields and her own.
Conduit deploys an array of shield-jammers which damage shields and slow enemies who are hit with it (or walk over it).
As a Support-class legend, Conduit has access to two additional abilities. Access Extended Supply Bins does exactly what it sounds like, granting Conduit access to the secret compartment hidden in special blue Supply Bins scattered across the map. These compartments will always contain large healing items (Med Kits, Shield Batteries, Phoenix Kits) and at least one Survival Item (Heat Shield, Mobile Respawn Beacon, Evac Tower) for Conduit and her squadmates to loot as needed.

Respawn says it has «resolved» the issues that scuppered its recent rollout of cross-progression on Apex Legends.
Apex Legends’ Three Strikes mode totally changes the standard match format. Alongside the event is a selection of cosmetics designed with Post Malone and inspired by his tour outfits, which players can unlock during the time-limited event if they play enough.
Cross progression is one of the best features in Apex Legends, allowing players to carry their progress to any platform they want to play. However, it doesn’t always work as intended, leaving players without a way to link their devices.
Women make up just between 24% and 30% of the video game industry’s workforce, depending on the research source. However, year after year, from players to developers, female representation has been growing throughout games at all levels of experience.

The upcoming season's patch notes contain some of the biggest meta changes the game has seen in years.
Blockbuster battle royale Apex Legends is finally getting cross-progression, merging together the stats, cosmetics, bought Apex Coins and more for players that have been going across multiple platforms. All of this is coming with Apex Legends Season 19: Ignite.
Getting an email asking if I want a copy of “the Apex Legends cookbook” was one of the most WTF moments of my year thus far, but once I knew it existed, I had to have it. Before I left for GamesBeat Next, I was perusing and casually testing some of the recipes in the book, and let me tell you: The Apex Legends cookbook is a goldmine of comedy, if not of particularly inventive recipes. Some of the food feels artificially tied to specific characters — Octane has a couple of recipes in the book (both good, too), and I’ll remind you the character is canonically a thrill-seeking drug addict. I want nothing to do with whatever he puts in his body.
Free-to-play battle royale shooter Apex Legends is finally introducing cross-progression as part of its 19th season, and ahead of its arrival next Tuesday, 31st October, developer Respawn Entertainment has detailed how the whole thing'll work.
