A Season for the fearless, see what Apex Legends Season 29 has in store with our preview…

Apex Legends: Overclocked Preview – The Best Competitive Experience to Date!

Entering the fray as part of Apex Legends: Overclocked is the new Legend Axle. A hypermobile Legend, her kit brings visceral, high-skill movement that forces one to always be on the move.

Axle’s Drift Passive provides increased slide control for enhanced movement precision, while her Nitro Gate Tactical provides high-speed slides to close the gap. 

She also packs an Ultimate Kickstart enemy-seeking drone, which can be used to set up devastating pushes, stall chasing enemies, or even buy time.

Both Conduit and Vantage will see updates as part of Apex Legends: Overclocked.

In the case of Conduit, Radiant Transfer can now be found in her base kit and Savior’s Speed now grants a bonus movement when sprinting toward Skirmishers. Conduit will also get two new Level 3 Upgrades that amp up offensive power in the form of both Instant Barrier and Enduring Barrier.

Meanwhile, Vantage’s Sniper’s Mark Ultimate now features faster draw and aim responsiveness, along with greater flexibility through both a 4x zoom and 2x canted sight.

Vantage’s EchoRelocation Tactical also makes her immune to hard landings when exiting her Tactical, and her new HerdTracker Upgrade now has pinging one enemy tracking the entire squad. 

Apex: Legends: Overclocked also brings Deathbox Respawns to fray, allowing one to directly revive squadmates at their Deathbox with a seven-second cast.

Finally, the dual weapon Twin Razors Mythic Universal Melee features lethal rotating laser blades. Note that they will be available as a possible drop in Overclocked Seasonal Packs, and will be available all season long. 

Respawn Entertainment Senior Design Director Evan Nikolich said the following:

“Our path forward centers on our mission of being the game where competitive players come to play. 

Listening to the community’s feedback is critical to informing meaningful change: the new Legends we introduce, impactful Legend overhauls and keeping things fresh with meta changes. 

Our Community-Focused development process is at its best when our updates give players the ability to experiment, try new Legends and strategies and show off their own personal style on their path to victory. “

Evan Nikolich added:

“Beyond continuing to improve and evolve the BR experience, giving players more ways to compete and experiment has always been at the heart of Apex Legends. 

We’re heading into our most ambitious year ever between Wildcard events and collaborations that will continue to add to the variety, mastery and fun of the competition.”

Apex Legends is now available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via both the EA app and Steam.
