From Respawn:
Apex Legends charges into high-voltage combat in the Aftershock Event, starting March 31. Wildcard gets a power surge with the Vortex Shield and new Wild Cards, while Gibraltar, Wattson and Wraith Updates shock the meta. Plus, the new Elite Hemlok tears through enemy defenses.
Key Highlights include:
-
Wildcard is Now an Electromagnetic Battlefield:
-
Raise the Vortex Shield to catch and reflect incoming fire back at enemies. But watch your shield’s energy! Recharge it by picking up EVO.
-
Unleash the power of the EMP Blast to stun enemies and damage placeable objects. Recharge your EMP Battery by blocking and reflecting damage with the Vortex Shield or with new Wild Cards.
-
Gibraltar, Wattson and Wraith bring new power to the Split 2 meta:
-
Gibraltar’s Ultimate gets a larger radius and faster call time, an improved Tactical and new Upgrades: including Thunder Dome which electrifies Gibby’s dome and Triple Bombardment, which splits his Ultimate into 3 smaller charges. Plus, 2 new Passives to help him move faster and break doors and Hardlight Mesh.
-
Wattson’s improved Ultimate repairs and fortifies Hardlight Mesh, her Tactical now does increased damage and also fortifies nearby Hardlight Mesh.
-
Wraith’s Ultimate and Tactical both get a faster cooldown, plus new Upgrades for more Void-bending powers.
-
New Elite Hemlok in Split 2: It’s packing full-auto fire, a Silencer and a Breach Launcher with new Breach Shot mode. It’s a lot. In the best way.
