The newest change to Respawn’s Apex Legends will see players level up their Legend in the middle of battle royale matches.
Season 20, aka Breakout, introduces “Legends Upgrade” progression. Using experience gained from kills or class-specific duties, players upgrade a Legend to suit their individual playstyle.
It’s a big shakeup to the shooter, and similar to the original plan for Overwatch 2. Blizzard scrapped that game’s Talent system for its Heroes due to the overwhelming scope, which makes Respawn’s follow-through notable.
