Apex Legends season 18, Resurrection: All the details on Revenant Reborn

Apex Legends’ Resurrection’s newest season will remake and reintroduce the beloved character Revenant. Every player can unlock him and earn him at no cost if they successfully complete the challenges set before the end of the season.

Resurrection is launching on Nintendo Switch beginning August 8, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Xbox One. The Broken Moon map will be added to the Mixtape. Charge Rifle is a new weapon that has changed from being a long range beam weapon into a more conventional sniper weapon.

Here’s everything coming to Apex Legends Season 18 starts:

Who is Apex Legends’ New Character for Season 18?

Revenant, who joined the game in May 2020, is getting a makeover as “Revenant Reborn”, starting with a new skin and a new set of abilities.

“Revenant launched in season 4 but his play style hasn’t been keeping up with the gameplay,” character designer Evan Funnell said. “A lot of his patterns have become problematic over time.” To solve that, Respawn is giving him a brand-new look and all new abilities to emphasize the “monstrous assassin fantasy” he represents.

The Passive: “Assassin’s Instinct.” Not only are enemies with low health highlighted for Revenant players, they can mark them for teammates. There is no limit to the number of enemies Revenant can now track with Assassin’s Instinct. The passive gives the player a faster crouching and wall-climbing.
Tactical: “Shadow Pounce.” Because Revenant’s new Assassin’s Instinct passive somewhat mimics his old Silence tactical, Respawn is exchanging Silence for a powerful new traversal ability, which players can tap for a short range dash or charge up for a huge leap to get the drop on enemies.
Ultimate: “Forged Shadows.” Revenant Reborn can now summon a “shroud of shadows” to confuse enemies and absorb damage. Forged Shadows will last for 25 seconds, but it doesn’t protect him from area-of-effect damage, like Caustic’s Gas Trap ability or Fuse’s Motherlode ultimate.

What is Apex Legends’ new map for season 18?

Apex Legends doesn’t always get a new map with each new season, so in August, players will get Broken Moon on the Mixtape playlist of game modes, which offers a more traditional approach to multiplayer first-person shooters.

Broken Moon is one of the game’s newer maps, launching with Season 15 in November 2022. Mixtape, which launched in early February, allows players to enjoy a constant rotation of special game modes like Control, Team Deathmatch or Gun Run.

What new weapons are available in Apex legends Season 18?

The Charge Rifle was overdue for an overhaul, said Respawn’s lead weapons designer Eric Canavese, and players will get it in season 18. That means an end to the Charge Rifle’s hitscan abilities; it is now a projectile-based weapon whose rounds are affected by bullet drop. “It’s still our most effective long-range sniper,” Canavese said, “but it takes a lot more skill than the hitscan version.”

What’s in Apex Legends season 18’s battle pass?

Apex Legends’ Resurrection battle pass offers the usual array of cosmetics, customizations and other goodies. This includes legendary skins such as Mad Maggie’s and Pathfinder’s, reactive skins of the EVA-8 and epic skins including Caustic, Valkyrie, and Octane.

Season 18 will kick off with a double XP “Death Dynasty Collection Event” in battle royale, that runs Aug. 8 to Aug. 15 before coming to Mixtape’s modes from Aug. 15 to Aug. 22. This offers its limited-time set of cosmetics in addition to earning Revenant Reborn free.
