The last episode of Kill Code–Apex Legends‘ animated YouTube miniseries–may have already aired, however the story is not over but. This week, Respawn launched the brand new Rebellion Assortment Occasion, and like all of Apex’s Assortment Occasions, Rebellion encompasses a new set of 24 premium cosmetics that, as soon as bought, will unlock a trio of Mythic-tier objects (Loba’s Apex Lycanthrope Status Pores and skin Set, on this case). However not like earlier Assortment Occasions, Rebellion additionally encompasses a huge new 30v30 limited-time mode known as Revenant Rebellion, a singular in-game cinematic expertise, and surprisingly, a set of (non permanent) play-to-win buffs for the sport’s commonplace non-Ranked battle royale mode.

The brand new Revenant Rebellion LTM is definitely essentially the most lore-heavy gameplay occasion Apex has seen since the Broken Ghost questline that appeared in Season 5, and gamers who logged in throughout the first hour of the occasion have been handled to a particular cinematic that picked up the place Kill Code left off, then instantly launched gamers into all-out battle. However with so many new features–including a free reward observe that incorporates the sport’s first-ever play-to-win legend buffs–it may be straightforward to get a bit confused, particularly given the LTM’s odd availability schedule. Hold studying for a complete breakdown of the Rebellion assortment Occasion, together with ideas for battling Revenant’s Military (or becoming a member of it), a more in-depth take a look at all Rebellion assortment cosmetics, a breakdown of the occasion’s game-changing free rewards, and extra.

Revenant Rebellion LTM

The Revenant Rebellion LTM is a brand new 30v30 mode that blends bits and items of earlier Revenant-related occasions (like Shadowfall and Shadow Royale) with new options, making for enjoyable, fast-paced, and chaotic matches. In every match, gamers are randomly sorted into two groups: 30 gamers are assigned to the Legend Alliance group, whereas the opposite 30 gamers are assigned to Revenant’s Military. Gamers on the Legend Alliance squad can select to play as any legend (besides Revenant) and their skills will operate as they usually do, however gamers on the Revenant’s Military squad will all play as Revenant. This model of Revenant is far nearer to the Shadows from Shadowfall and Shadow Royale–they can’t choose up loot, use weapons, equip shields, use therapeutic objects, or use Revenant’s final potential. They’ll solely open doorways by bashing them in, and may solely harm members of the Legend Alliance squad through melee assaults. However on the brilliant facet, they do have entry to a buffed model of Revenant’s new Shadow Pounce ability, which has had its cooldown timer diminished from the usual 24 seconds to solely 8 seconds.

The Legend Alliance has a single purpose: Survive till evacuation ships arrive to rescue them. To win a match, the Legend Alliance should get not less than 6 gamers safely into the evac ships earlier than the match’s 5-minute timer runs out. Revenant’s Military, however, can solely win by guaranteeing lower than 6 Legend Alliance members make it out alive.

To make issues simpler for the Legend Alliance, useless squadmates may be Respawned infinitely at any Respawn Beacon, and Respawn Beacons not go dormant after use. As a substitute, they will have a brief cooldown interval earlier than changing into useable once more. The Legend Alliance additionally has one other handy boon working of their favor: Any legend can respawn a useless Legend Alliance member (even one who shouldn’t be a member of their three-player squad) at any time, while not having to first fetch their downed comrade’s Banner Card. If a pleasant legend goes down for good, do not trouble going again to their deathbox–just run to the closest Respawn Beacon and resurrect them. Regulate the inexperienced Respawn Beacon icon situated within the higher right-hand facet of the HUD, because it shows the variety of Legend Alliance members who’re at present ready to be respawned.

There is a catch, although. As soon as a complete trio of Legend Alliance members (that’s, the opposite two gamers you may be paired with in matchmaking) have been killed, your entire squad respawns… on Revenant’s group. This implies Revenant’s Military can simply overwhelm and outnumber the Legend Alliance if the legends aren’t vigilant.

Revenant’s Military additionally has a secret weapon of types: Pink-Eyed Revenant. Pink-Eyed Revenant is a randomly-selected participant who, not like the remainder of the military, can really play Revenant as traditional, choosing up weapons, opening doorways, and usually functioning the identical means he at all times does. (Observe that not like the members of his military, Pink-Eyed Revenant’s Shadow Pounce potential has the usual 24-second cooldown, not the shortened 8-second cooldown.)

Pink-Eyed Revenant is randomly chosen at first of the match, and as soon as he’s killed, one other member of Revenant’s Military might be chosen. There are two methods gamers can discover themselves in Pink-Eyed Revenant’s footwear: They are often randomly respawned as him after being killed by one of many legends, or they’ll merely be chosen whereas they’re alive and taking part in on Revenant’s group. Within the latter case, an alert will seem informing the participant that they’ll tackle the lethal murderbot’s position. Activating their final potential will see them be “reborn” as Pink-Eyed Revenant.

Pink-Eyed Revenant spawns with the next objects in his stock:

• 2 Mythic-tier weapons (at present, these weapons are the Prowler SMG and the Kraber)
• 1 Phoenix Package
• 4 Protect Batteries
• 2 Protect Cells
• 4 Med Kits
• 2 Syringes
• 1 Arc Star
• 1 Frag Grenade
• 1 Thermite Grenade
• 1 Evac Tower
