Game modes

Trios
The basic format, this game mode has 20 teams of 3 fight until the end, games conclude when only a single team is left alive. This mode awards standard XP and can complete missions and challenges, treasure packs are also found frequently in this mode. Maps rotate in this mode.

Duos
A second format, the only difference is that the teams are of two, 60 starting players which makes 30 teams. Maps rotate in this mode.



Ranked Leagues
Unlike the other two simple modes, ranked leagues have three restraining factors and obviously, as the title suggests a ranking structure, these details are:
 Ranked brackets.
 Entry cost and RP gains.
 Fixed map.

The ranked matchmaking brackets are as follows:
 Bronze 4 <-> Gold 1
 Gold 4 <-> Platinum 1
 Platinum 4 <-> Diamond 4
 Diamond 3 <-> Apex predator

In addition to this, the ranked leagues have thresholds which you can rank up into. To do so you will need to earn RP, which is based on this formula.
(Placement + (Kill Points * Kill Value Multiplier))- Entry Cost
Below lists the placement and kill multiplier, these are are:

 1st: 100|2.5
 2nd: 60|2
 3rd/4th: 40|2 (3rd)|1.5 (4th)
 5th/6th: 30|1.5 (5th)|1.2(6th)
 7th/8th: 20|1.2
 9th/10th: 10|1.2
 11th+: 0|1
Kills are worth 10 rp up to a maximum of 5, assists also provide rp and the cap is shared.
The maximum RP gain from a match is 225.

Entry cost is:
 Bronze: 0
 Silver: 12
 Gold: 24
 Platinum: 36
 Diamond: 48
 Master/Predator: 60

The RP cost to enter tiers is also listed below:
Bronze 4: 0
Bronze 3: 300
Bronze 2: 600
Bronze 1: 900
Silver 4: 1,200
Silver 3: 1,600
Silver 2: 2,000
Silver 1: 2,400
Gold 4: 2,800
Gold 3: 3,300
Gold 2: 3,800
Gold 1: 4,300

Diamond 2: 8,600
Diamond 1: 9,300
Master: 10,000
Apex Predator*: Varies (minimum 10,001, expected 15,000~)

Note: to receive apex predator rewards, simply finish one game inside of the rank without falling out of it. It is based on the top 500 players which means the goal moves.

The rewards from ranked are:
All ranks – Badge
Gold+ – Dive Trail
Master or predator – Dive Trail

Legends Overview

Legends are playable characters found in apex legends, each one has a unique set of abilities which in term provide weaknesses and strengths, legends aim to fulfil some form of role and are designated the type of:
 Recon
 Defensive
 Support
 Offensive

Since a team contains three legends (two in duos) it is impossible to get one of each type of legend into a team.

Each legend typically will have a TYPE, TACTICAL, PASSIVE and ULTIMATE. The type property is the only one which is shared across legends, hitbox size is non-uniform and will be considered in each legend’s breakdown. Legend rating is based on professional use rates and consultation with tier one players. [E<->A + S].

For type and hitbox properties, these are…
 Fortified type: 15% reduced damage and no slows
 Neutral type: Standard slows and damage taken
 Low Profile type: 5% increased damage but minimalised hitbox
 Giant hitbox: Only for Gibraltar currently who has an incredibly large hitbox
 Large, medium and small hitboxes: assessed per legend.
Additionally legends may have the recon property, this allows them to interact with survey beacons.

Introduction to Weapons

Weapons are an essential part of apex legends, oddly enough punching everything that you see is less than ideal and the wide range of guns on offer will help take you to victory! They are not all made equally however, some are more useful than others.

All weapon stats at a glance are available below

Weapons are listed below by ammo type in the order they appear in the firing range. This list will include Sheila since it functions as a gun. Heirlooms do not affect melee damage so they are not included.

Weapons also have types of optic frame:
 Short (1x and 2x)

 Level 4 weapons come with the highest possible level attachments in all slots.



Jump towers
 A long zipline that upon reaching the top, puts you into jump-jet mode just like when you leave the dropship!

The Ring

“Death outside the ring is slow and painful, perhaps you should stay there”
- Caustic

Tridents

[WIP]



Tridents are fast moving, indestructible vehicles that can be found in set points on the map.
Tridents have unlimited fuel and a strong boost is activated with L-mouse by default.

When a trident falls off the map, all its passengers get a jump tower effect, this can intentionally be used as a one way method of moving past areas where tridents normally cannot travel through in set locations, or as a way to spare legends lives who accidently collide their cars together, which sends them flying.

Cars act as solid terrain, most placeables can be put on them, gibraltars dome of protection sticks to the car too, which can help with trident rotations.

Ramparts minigun can be placed upon it, along with nox gas traps, interception pylons and perimeter security nodes.

Tridents can be launched by octanes bounce pads and will fly very far.

Mixed reports about amped cover placement (will be clarified later).
Also mixed reports about wraiths portals.

When a trident is shot at, all legends in the car take 15% of the damage that would be dealt. for a total of 45% if three legends are on the trident.
