CHOOSE YOUR SIDE, MECHS OR MONSTERS, IN THE AWAKENING COLLECTION EVENT
LIFELINE’S CLINIC
Welcome to Lifeline’s Clinic, a new place to heal up and chill out. This new state-of-the-art building is nestled between Gardens and Grow Towers, in the northeast corner of Olympus.
In the center of the Clinic's main floor stands the Med-bay. With it, legends can take advantage of the most refined automated healing system in the Outlands. Whenever injured legends are standing on the platform, a heal tether will activate and attach to them. If the Med-bay is charged, they will get continuous healing. Additionally, the Med-bay's holo-displays will indicate if someone is healing, or if the Med-bay is recharging.
If you want better loot, just head to the "Emergency Platform" at the back and use the Care Package console located there. Make sure to reach it first as you can only use the console once per game.
CONTROL LIMITED TIME MODE RETURNS
Control mode returns during the Awakening Collection Event and this time, World’s Edge will be joining the rotation with Olympus and Storm Point. If this is going to be your first time playing Control or it’s been a while, catch up with our blog that explains the popular mode. Also, check out the new features we’ll be adding to Control during the Awakening Collection Event:
Introduce Ad Drones to Control for flavor & storytelling purposes, but yes, you can also shoot them.
Matchmaking improvement – Fill slots of missing players at the start of Control with new players to prevent imbalanced matches.
Added tabs to the About screen – seen in Lobby and accessible in Control matches.
One of the new tabs has a breakdown of Ratings values.
The other has a breakdown of how the spawn system works.

Apex Legends: Saviors Patch Notes
NEW LEGEND: NEWCASTLE
HEROIC DEFENDER
For years, Newcastle defended the small town of Harris Valley, making it a safe haven for all who lived there. Now to fulfill that mission and continue defending his home, he’ll have to prove himself a hero among Legends. In the Apex Games, Newcastle can use his Knockdown Shield to protect his squadmate as he revives them, and even drag them out of harm’s way. He can charge into the fray with a Mobile Shield, blocking weapon damage and deflecting grenades, while his Ultimate erects a fortified Castle Wall.
PASSIVE: RETRIEVE THE WOUNDED Drag allies as you revive and protect them with your Revive Shield.
TACTICAL: MOBILE SHIELD Throw a controllable drone that creates a moving energy shield.
ULTIMATE: CASTLE WALL Leap to an ally or target area and slam down, creating a fortified stronghold.
With this being the first map update to Storm Point, our goal was to add new content and improve map features while not subtracting anything. We added a brand-new POI; a washed-up sea creature known as the Downed Beast—which is a unique combat experience for Apex Legends—an organic combat zone, and a refreshing change from man-made architecture. On top of that, we added a brand new PvE feature, IMC Armories, at four strategic locations around the map which can dynamically change the championship outcome. Be wary here, you will encounter waves of Spectres but if you survive you can earn sweet loot tailored to your loadout.
The map rotation for the season for Saviors will be Storm Point, Olympus, and World’s Edge. We’re also removing the longer 2-hour rotation block. We felt that could be too long considering it could span the whole play session for some people.
RANKED RELOADED
Apex Legends: Saviors’ upgraded Ranked system adds tier demotions, entry cost adjustments,, and a rework of Ranked Points to promote teamplay. The current Ranked goals revolve around Teamplay for Victory, and Accurate Skill & Better Competition. We are making a large number of changes that focus on these two core pillars, with the outcome that players will focus on playing as a team and playing for the win, and RP will be a more accurate representation of your overall game skill.
See how new Legend Newcastle wields his shield, the monstrous changes to Storm Point and the reworked Ranked system, all coming in Apex Legends: Saviors!
All of the action takes place this weekend, in Stockholm, Sweden
