What's new in Apex Legends: Meltdown Season 3?
The most important thing is the emergence of a new Crypto legend, which, thanks to dataminers, is not news to us.
While Krypto's three abilities have not been officially confirmed, Respawn offered a clue with this in-game description: "The cool, calm, collected hero deploys specialized surveillance drones to stay in the fight and out of the spotlight."
It seems understandable, in our own words we get the master of drones, who will be able to scout the situation at a distance. It's not bad enough to watch the enemy without fear of sleeping!
New weapons: Charge rifle
Season 3 will also expand on the arsenal of existing weapons, with the all-new Charge Rifle, which looks like an energy weapon that will fire an energy beam instead of shots.
"Blast your way through the arena with this devastating targeted energy weapon," reads the official description.
New Battle Pass
Meltdown will add a brand new Battle Pass for players to level up and earn new rewards. There will be "over 100 exclusive items" on offer, including legendary skins, packs, and new content types that will debut in Season 3.
New Ranking System: Ranked Series 2
Respawn decided to make some major changes to ranked play for Season 3, reworking some aspects from Season XNUMX, including things like scoring, RP entry costs, multipliers, rewards, and more.
