Maggie's Fireball is going to be INSANE. Throw it into a room full of enemies, now they're burning AND stunned?! Finally Maggie's ult will be good for something. And the thermite doesn't just damage enemies, it damages their equipment too. A building locked down by Caustic and Watson? Chuck the ball in there, and destroy all their traps.
@@Kfettiiino they won't but the original comment mentions watson specifically so in the situation they describe of caustic and Watson holding down a building the ball will be destroyed by wattson ult
I’ll be honest, I feel a lot better about this update after hearing you explain how it all works. The shield thing had me very worried but it actually makes sense and most of the ability upgrades aren’t too crazy
Some are crazy tho... Maggie literally exterminate a small room with her ult and caustic covers a whole end circle with his ult. Also if u checked ramparts perk with the faster reloading behind amped walls. You can basically non-stop shooting
I’m really excited for this update since it shakes up strategies from previous metas. It makes you think more strategically on how to approach enemies as they could have upgrades based on their armors. It also encourages getting into fights and being a team player with using your passive.
I don't think this is going to do anything to the game, players left for other games and Apex was like "oh no better change everything to get the players back!" now people who planned on returning like me will decide nevermind
@@pinktr_eeyou’re an outlier buddy. i’m and old player myself and haven’t plaid in a year. these changes are definitely gonna make ppl return. you just want the same game😭 but somehow want it to get better
I like the shield update. Simplifies things while keeping much of what was good about it like rewarding armor swapping. I’m a little unsure about the crafter changes, but everything else in this season looks absolutely awesome.
At just personally don’t handle change well, I hate learning new things when I’m so comfortable with how things were. But after Kandy explained all of it I am more excited than I was before lol. I just feel like there’s gonna be wayyy too many things for my brain to worry about and think about.
Honestly this update is probably what makes me come back to the game after a year hiatus. I played it on and off before and not really playing seriously but the more games I played the more I just got stomped more and more by sweaty players and kinda just gave up, but this update with all the changes add a nice bit of flavor into the combat and overall gameplay flow which I really like.
Thanks Kandy for making some of the best apex content I hope you and boom continue to bring us amazing videos. When I feel alone and depressed your videos cheer me up you're bubbly personalities are awesome
8:33 if you can drop your core to your teammates, maybe a decent idea sometimes to give it to teammates that are a lower level. Like before a fight you know of, but have time, drop your red to your teammates with say blue, and then use a battery on yourself before pushing the fight. Depending on how long the timer is before the bonus armor disappears, could be good. Also means batteries are a good bit stronger and more valuable (assuming that I'm right abt how it works dropping shields for teammates)
I like the new shield update. You can swap and not worry about someone coming up on your armor and it possibly being grabbed by an enemy while swapping in a fight. The seeing grenades is trash lol
So as a crypto main that 50% extra EMP range is both good and bad, extra range obviously but that means you have to drive the drone further if you want to emp right in front of you and not be hit. But calling out squads in the area isn’t useful since you already do that with the banners. Will be interesting to experiment with
I agree 100%. I run the Eva with Maggie so getting a knock and the instant reload is MAGICAL. Gonna be dangerous. That increased drill size is sweet as well. Honestly the whole setup for her is gonna be dangerous. Finally some love for Maggie mains.
Haven't played since the girl with the bat launched, and I'm looking forward to playing Apex again with this update as revenent the most. His playstyle suits me the most, and I absolutely love the idea of jumping around and killing everyone all the time and never slowing down. Sounds like heaven honestly
haven’t plaid apex in like a year and this is really interesting. i think it makes players have to actually think rather than just spamming shield swaps
I like the amount of changes they made but idk about the perk thing for when you level up your shield, I feel like that adds a lot more unnecessary things you have to account for in fights now
I think Pathfinder should be able to pop cells or batteries on a zipline. Damage reduction is cool, but, I think that wouldn’t make Pathfinder better. He'd be the only one using the “popping shields on a zip” perk and should be exclusive to Pathfinder. I mean, since Pathfinder literally uses ziplines the most and is a robot.
I think the DR buff is actually aimed at competitive play. It sounds like he temporarily charges the ziplines on initial placement, giving both him AND teammates DR for safer rotation
Im wondering how vantage's passive would work with this shield change. Would it tell you the enemy has red shields even though they really have blue or would it be red and you just assume it's not temporary?
Also does hitting an enemy with wrecking ball with thermite upgrade automatically start burning them? Or do they have to walk into the fire after the explosion?
Catalysts perks arent really upgrades, the ult meant to be 73 meters with the upgrade instead of 55, now just 40 instead of 55m and 55m are in the perks.
What does "extend nox vision" even meaning? does it work after enemies leave the gas? because if enemies need to be in the gas for it to work nothing changes.
one thing i was wondering with watsons ult, if your teamate throws a hability and it gets eaten by the pylon, will it spawn a arc star? a fuse could cheese this out by throwing Qs at the pylon and spawning endless arc stars
@@derkschot4865 a lot of people were just talking about how anything changing was bad without giving good reasons. But new players having difficulty understanding it is a good reason for why the change might be not that great.
Possibly, but i just see it as choosing your perks based on the how the game is going. Maybe one perk would be more useful in that game but not in another. Idk, guess we just gotta see
it would suck to use a crafter and then need to craft banners and not be able to, because you're in end game and happened to use a crafter in that zone already
@@glenthebutcher4184nah i think u cant craft again only on the crafter that you used, if another crafter spawns in i think you could craft another two items again
Mirage is lowkey going to be a problem! He can essentially have unlimited clones with fast ult charge AND the bamboozle bonus! Good thing i play him, Lol.
Don’t get how people are saying they don’t like the shield changes it’s literally nothing but up side. Especially since now when you swap in a hectic battle you don’t lose your hard earned shield whereas before if u gotta swap your purp out of a white in the middle of a fight then relocate there goes your purple shield.
Maggie's Fireball is going to be INSANE. Throw it into a room full of enemies, now they're burning AND stunned?! Finally Maggie's ult will be good for something.
And the thermite doesn't just damage enemies, it damages their equipment too. A building locked down by Caustic and Watson? Chuck the ball in there, and destroy all their traps.
wattson's ult kills the ball though
@@havenloss8107ok… everyone in the lobby isn’t running Watson right?
@@Kfettiiino they won't but the original comment mentions watson specifically so in the situation they describe of caustic and Watson holding down a building the ball will be destroyed by wattson ult
Imagine with caustic gas range tho... fucking hell
The ball has always destroyed traps doors etc… 🙄😭😭😂
In a sense, respawn took notes from Apex Legends: Mobile, like the Legend ability perks and integrated it into the main game
Monarch titan had these types of perks in TitanFall 2.
Thank you Kandy for showing. You're the best and especially my long time/term idol when its about apex

we not gonna talk ab how op self revive on lifeline gonna be, you can have all 3 members of your squad being revived at once

So basically everyone is buffed
exept for horizon
@@jacobnobe2551 quit crying horizon is buffed
@@wesson120894 im not crying im caustic main im happy
@@wesson120894 gud horizon didnt get anything
@@jacobnobe2551she's always buffed.
if the care package insight gave those xp bonuses like it does for the regular class then it could be pretty useful for getting put to purple evo.

As a Maggie main, I can’t wait! I feel that unfortunately her shotgun upgrade for reloading might be more beneficial and come into play more often…
I agree 100%. I run the Eva with Maggie so getting a knock and the instant reload is MAGICAL. Gonna be dangerous. That increased drill size is sweet as well. Honestly the whole setup for her is gonna be dangerous. Finally some love for Maggie mains.

His playstyle suits me the most, and I absolutely love the idea of jumping around and killing everyone all the time and never slowing down. Sounds like heaven honestly
with ash its meh because it looks like you can still break the tether. it'd be cool if instead it slowly pulled them in or something
haven’t plaid apex in like a year and this is really interesting. i think it makes players have to actually think rather than just spamming shield swaps

The armor makes sense if you think about how batteries work
Im down for no more armer on the ground part of it but im not sure about the upgrade system we will have to see
Im wondering how vantage's passive would work with this shield change. Would it tell you the enemy has red shields even though they really have blue or would it be red and you just assume it's not temporary?
"My wall was definitely longer than her wall" Oh Kandy :)
I hope that eventually, after every season, they pick a few legends and give them 2 new perks that you can randomly get every level up
Rip craft juice
Also does hitting an enemy with wrecking ball with thermite upgrade automatically start burning them? Or do they have to walk into the fire after the explosion?
As a wraith main. I always say if I could have got my phase off half a second faster I would’ve got out. So I’m very happy with these buffs
This whole shield thing just makes the skill ceiling higher and is gonna make my friends not want to play even more than before. Kinda sucks ngl
So the upgrades stack, or when you go to next lvl you change to that lvl upgrade?
@3:33: mine too, lol! 🤔😳 Now she just needs more sticks...😅
I think it’s funny that a lot of the upgrades are just pre nerf forms of the legends but you can only get one
are class abilities being removed? if thats the. case then paths pasive will change idk if he covered it
the switching between past end present is pretty confusing without transition
Dude, I’m so excited for this next season
You got to play early W mans ❤
when u win in straight shot does it count to wins on ur character stats?
7:13 bruh for a moment i thought that catalyst could summon 2 walls at one go. That would be insane, she would become moses
Catalysts perks arent really upgrades, the ult meant to be 73 meters with the upgrade instead of 55, now just 40 instead of 55m and 55m are in the perks.
Mad Maggie whith bigger drills and the ball update will be good combo
the shield upgrade is coming in pubs or ranked?
What does "extend nox vision" even meaning? does it work after enemies leave the gas? because if enemies need to be in the gas for it to work nothing changes.
one thing i was wondering with watsons ult, if your teamate throws a hability and it gets eaten by the pylon, will it spawn a arc star? a fuse could cheese this out by throwing Qs at the pylon and spawning endless arc stars
I’m assuming they’ll make it be like only enemy stuff. But not sure, as a fuse main that would be goated
Path is gonna be a good legend to pick honestly…
Will the 20% fater revive also work on Lifeline's self-revive?
I love the intro of deleting a bunch of random friend requests 😂😂😂
!kandyloot from Boom’s chat. 🤣
So excited for the new season!
You can definately tell they were really careful to not give the legends that are strong right now to much buff or to good of upgrades.
So I want to know is gold knockdown gone?
I have a feeling that they will nerf the revive points. Teams will camp in ring to allow to heal
I don’t know if it’s just me but the levelling up reminds me of Fortnite with the power ups they did last chapter
The one time carfting seems to be their solution for people camping outoff the ring in ranked
devs: nerf tap strafing
Octane: Hold my nade
'I do not care who makes the kill. As long as I can observe it die.' as I trap people in rooms with me and heal myself in my gas.
As a previous LL main she will be dope to play with her new kit. Self revive and 20% revive speed is going to make her annoying in the right hands
Bro, that wattson arc star perk is op, play with a fuze Q, and u get unlimited arc stars.
I feel like this might make Apex really complicated for beginners, because it already has a LOT of mechanics.
Finally a good take instead of “noo new things the horror of something i am used to changing”
@@eleonarcrimson858 So in your opinion the change is good? (sorry, i didn't really understand your comment. This isn't meant in a mean way
@@derkschot4865 a lot of people were just talking about how anything changing was bad without giving good reasons. But new players having difficulty understanding it is a good reason for why the change might be not that great.
I don't care. Long time players were always thrown under the rug, new players can take the hit this time
Season 20 wtf! I remembre playing season 2 like it was yesterday... the game changed so much i don't even think i could ever get back into it
mirage is going to be everywhere what the ahahaha
Bro ive been a mirage main since season 1, im too excited
It's nice seeing my mains (Pathy/Mirage) get some love 😊
New season looks amazing we’ll done apex
Fuse andWatson would be a really good combo.
I just one question: Wouldn't be good to have the perks selection in the lobby?
Possibly, but i just see it as choosing your perks based on the how the game is going. Maybe one perk would be more useful in that game but not in another. Idk, guess we just gotta see
As in have it so you can choose which perks you want the game to automatically select for you? Yeah that might be nice actually
Ballistics ultimate needed a buff in the perks
So straight shot ltm is the apex version of resurgence .🔥💪
Can we auto choose which perks we want before matches? Having pop up seems annoying
Lol, loba with a gold bag grabbing 9 shield batteries and turning them into shield cores for swaps.
My boy mirage gonna be great
Can crypto use the evo harvester with his drone?
This update finally gives me a reasom to pick it up again
If you have red armor and pick up 2 whites, does it give you 100 shield? Or maybe pick up a blue and a white and be full red?
They don’t stack
wish he showed the wraith Q time reduction
I took a season off.. hoped they added a new map.
Already miss the old armour swapping lol. But keen to try these new abilities, it’s just nice to have something new for a change
it would suck to use a crafter and then need to craft banners and not be able to, because you're in end game and happened to use a crafter in that zone already
Yeh i dont get this one
U may get a battery then later in game u need banners and then it just impossible??
@@glenthebutcher4184 You can use every crafter on the map once
@@glenthebutcher4184nah i think u cant craft again only on the crafter that you used, if another crafter spawns in i think you could craft another two items again
True. Maybe they could put it on a timer, or have them refresh after a few zones.
these new game modes are going to make regular pubs so much healthier. at least in theory
When you pick your 2nd perk, do you lose your 1st perk? Or keep both?
Keep both
Mirage is lowkey going to be a problem! He can essentially have unlimited clones with fast ult charge AND the bamboozle bonus! Good thing i play him, Lol.
Mirage main since season 1 bro, Im high masters, will prob dominate and go predator this season
I wonder if Smoke Healing can stack? Pop both smokes and heal quick?
It does
Same with caustic. It’s better with him in regards of him having like 5 or 6 gas cannisters and a gas grenade. Free med kit or syringe if needed
Don’t get how people are saying they don’t like the shield changes it’s literally nothing but up side. Especially since now when you swap in a hectic battle you don’t lose your hard earned shield whereas before if u gotta swap your purp out of a white in the middle of a fight then relocate there goes your purple shield.
League of Apex Legends! lol some cool changes though
Is the wingman coming back
I'm still confused on the shield. If I have purple and want red, I have to upgrade it otherwise If I pick it up, I'll have one more bar?
yeah if you pick up a red while you have purple you get a temporary 25hp extra from the red but it goes away after like 30s
"Death crap hole" is what I heard 😂 @11:19
imagine a rampart behind wall while his ballistic teammate has its ult activated
Cryptos emp range is insane wtf
It would be cool if you could pick between gold or red armor
Gold is removed but maybe they do that in future🤔
You're probably the first person I've seen show what happens if you pick up a lower tier armor core when you have say, red armor
Before I died I used to drop my shield so enemies can’t shield swap haha
What happens if you level up your armor mid fight? Does that prompt pop on screen even if your in the middle of blastin someone?
nah you gotta hit f1 to get the menu
@@kandyrew oh nice I see. Is that the same as pushing the start button on console? Sorry roller player here lol 🤷🏼♂️
It’s one of the d-pad buttons. I forget which one but I saw the d-pad prompt in another video
