After three points have been attained, the Satellite will punish your opponents by frying them to a crisp. As defenders, your job is to stop the hackers at all costs!

New Legend: Rhapsody

A DJ from Kómma where the tech giant Pythas Inc. controls all, Rhapsody has used her love of music to rise out of the dangerous nightlife district: Neon Dunes and become one of the hottest Legends on the Apex scene. Her mother, a brilliant AI engineer who created Rhapsody’s companion bot Rowdy, had a checkered history with Pythas, and now Rhapsody competes in the Apex Games under their banner. Rhapsody has a number of perks and abilities including:

○ Passive: Gifted Ear – Picks up and visualizes sounds from an extended range.

○ Tactical: Hype Anthem – Play a powerful track that speeds up nearby squadmates and recharges shields. Taking damage will end the effect.

○ Ultimate Ability: Rowdy’s Rave – Rowdy projects a wall of flashing lights that blocks incoming sight and scans.

Legend Progression Perks:

○ Volume Control – Squadmates affected by your Tactical temporarily gain Gifted Ear.

○ Sound Bleed -Occasionally see nearby 3D sound visualizations effects through walls.

○ Tuned In – Continuous running increases the range of Gifted Ear.

○ Reverb – The more squadmates your Tactical affects, the longer it lasts.

○ Harmony – Your Tactical increases the speed of revives and the effect of healing items.
