Another Firing Range update

The game’s Firing Range has seenseveral updatessince itsoriginal debutin late 2019.

That’s right–players will no longer have toactivate a complicated Easter eggto get the dummies to attack.

Evac Towers can be found on the ground, inside Supply Bins, and inside Care Packages.

An Evac Tower will make escaping enemies a cinch (as long as none of them shoot it down first).

When deployed, a rocket will shoot skyward, exploding into a yellow redeploy balloon.

Once the balloon’s anchor lands groundside, players can hop on the zipline and make a quick escape.

Additionally, they don’t last forever, taking damage over time before eventually disappearing altogether.

The Monument POI is stuffed to the gills with Apex Games history–and merch.

Additionally, the Harvester POI has been updated as well.

Though the lava fissures still exist, they appear considerably smaller from what we’ve seen in the trailer.

“The glass ceiling brings an interesting component to the vertically layered fights this space offers.

Season 17’s new Weapon Mastery system provides players with long-term challenges to show off their firearm skills.

Its a different pace to the familiar collapsed map center.”

But technically, the structure hasn’t disappeared–it’s just been moved.

As the gameplay trailer revealed, “World’s Edge is healing.”

Developers say a serious plot development is arriving in the latter half of Season 17.

Only time will tell whether the health of Bloodhound’s beloved homeworld really is on the upswing.

The latter is a risky move, but can be a life-saver when an instant escape route is needed.

Additionally, Vault Key drops from shooting down Cargo Bots have been increased.

Every 20 levels, players will be presented with a weapon-specific trial, which will reward them upon completion.

One of the biggest changes is the complete removal of the customary mid-season Ranked Mode split.

From now on, players' ranks will only be reset at the beginning of a new season.

There are several types of Bonuses, but perhaps the most interesting pop in are Skill Bonuses.

If this event functions like all previous non-holiday-themed Apex events, it will most likely last for two weeks.

Voting is open until Monday, May 8, at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET.
