Apex Legends is dropping Season 19 Ignite October 31st and players will be getting a new Legend Conduit, new map changes, cross progression, and more quality of life changes. There have been a handful of Legend and Weapon adjustments too to keep things fresh. Here’s everything you need to know about Apex Legends Ignite.

Conduit is the 25th Legend coming to Apex. She’s the first Filipino Legend who was a huge fan of the Apex Games before she decided to step into the arena. Conduit is a support Legend with a focus on healing shields.

Here’s how her kit works:

If Conduit’s abilities and backstory look a little familiar, it’s because she built her kit from salvaging a modified Monarch Titan’s battery. The battery is extremely radioactive and Conduit suffers from radiation damage, but she was able to build her Apex Games suit around energy healing with the help of this Titan battery.

Conduit provides a very good option for teams to utilize to maximize survivability. A support with movement tech will be extremely helpful in tough skirmishes or if a Conduit player has to escape a fight to heal, then come back to rescue her teammates. The temporary shield ability being hit at the right time means the difference between winning and losing a fight.

The planet Gaia was hit by a major storm that damaged the infrastructure of Stormpoint. Major work was done by many forces to bring the Apex map to working order. Stormpoint now has several POIs that have been destroyed and rebuilt to provide energy to the planet.

The Syndicate is here and Wattson is helping to try and restore power to the city. ECHO, the clean up crew, also here to try and help the environment recover. Since there are so many hands trying to fix up Stormpoint, there are Six new POIs added to the map.

Some of these new POIs are replacing previous locations. Devastated Coast now lives where Fish Farm was and Wattson’s Pylon replaces the space between Storm Catcher and Launch Pad. In addition, there are no more Prowlers scattered throughout the map and Jurassic was completely replaced.

The overall map size has been reduced, with Lightning Rod brought in and having less playable surface and the coastline being taken in as well. Overall there are 16 POIs so the map is still large enough to hold all players and provide enough loot.

Ranked rewards, the Skydive Trails will be gone and will be replaced with banner frames that will never expire. Promotion Trials give you five trial attempts to try and complete winning a match or placing in the top 10 3 times and get 3 kills or assists three times to rank up.

When you reach the top of a rank tier, you’ll be presented with the Promotion Trials and you’ll have the chance to earn your new rank if you complete the trials.
