Apex Legends: From the Rift Launch Trailer
Behind enemy lines with nowhere to go but forward (or back?) What's next for Lifeline and Doc? Find out and Go Original in Apex Legends™: From the Rift, out now!
New Updates Coming with Apex Legends™: From The Rift
NEW UPDATES COMING WITH APEX LEGENDS™: FROM THE RIFT
Go original and experience the beginning of Apex Legends again. Relive the rush of that first drop in Launch Royale then get reacquainted with Lifeline, revived with new abilities to take the frontlines, glide to reposition, and more. Tear through the Outlands with Rift Relics, offering cosmic abilities and weapons that dial up your power. Wield the Raptor’s Claw, a new Universal Mythic Melee Cosmetic and harness the madness of science in the new Battle Pass Split 1.
NEW MODE: LAUNCH ROYALE
Step back in time to the experience that started it all: Launch Royale. This new LTM drops players into the original Apex Legends circa 2019—it’s the old school weapons, Legends, abilities, ruleset, and map that started it all. That means no EVO Armor or Ability Upgrades—just pure skill and your wits to survive the Apex Games.
If you're craving that old-school Apex vibe or just want to see how it all started, this is the best time to jump in and see where Legends were born. Conquer Launch Royale Challenges to unlock Legends and earn rewards like Apex Packs and more. Ready up, because we’re going back to experience that first drop once again.
LIFELINE REVIVED
The original medic is now a frontline menace! Lifeline dives into action with an aggressive new kit, the ability to teleport D.O.C. to your allies, glide for unmatched mobility, and deploy an indestructible force field that amps up healing efficiency for your squad. She's not just saving lives—she’s fighting her way to the Champions Podium.
PASSIVE: COMBAT GLIDE
Hold JUMP mid-air to use to D.O.C. to briefly glide.
Deploy D.O.C. to revive teammates, leaving Lifeline free to defend.
TACTICAL: D.O.C. HEAL DRONE
D.O.C. heals nearby allies. D.O.C. can be assigned to follow allies once deployed.
ULTIMATE: D.O.C. HALO
Throw D.O.C. to activate Halo Shield System. All players inside use Health & Shield consumables faster.
UPGRADES
From the Rift: Level 2
Battpack
+1 Battery per stack.
See Battery Count in Death Boxes.
Extended Flight
Increase time before D.O.C. runs out of fuel by 1.5s.
From the Rift: Level 3
Enhanced Radio
Increased D.O.C. assignment range by 50%.
Tactical Cooldown+
Reduce Tac cooldown by 10s.
RIFT RELICS
Rift Relics come from the unstable Rift in the sky, creating a temporary tear in reality that provides the contestants of the Apex Games with powerful weapons and a new Survival Slot item, Boost Kits, that may just give you a boost that you need. You could say they’re aptly named. Grab the EPG-1 Launcher with splash damage and rocket-jumping capabilities. Unleash exotic Hop-Ups like Lifesteal, healing with every hit and instantly refilling health and armor on headshots.
Rift Relics will appear randomly throughout each match, across many rounds. They will be easy for you and your enemies to spot, and they’ll also inform you if an enemy team has gotten there first. Destroy the Rift Relic to receive your reward, but be warned—the Ring messes with their stability.
NEW: SUPPORT CLASS PERKS
Last season we gave the Recon and Controller classes unique gameplay perks to help define their areas of expertise in the game. This season will be the season of Support!
Alongside Lifeline's Revival, the Support Class is getting a specialization of their own through two new perks: Heal Expert and Revive Expert; empowering their reset and recovery role on the team, and continuing our efforts to bring more meaning and identity to the classes in Apex.
Support Legends will still maintain access to extended supply bins (blue bins), however, in the spirit of support, banner crafting is no longer an exclusive class perk and instead will be accessible to all Legends.
Support Class Perks
Heal Expert
Support Legends now move at full walk speed while healing
Healing amount from small meds is doubled
Revive Expert
Support Legends now have 25% faster revives (4.5s) and grant health regen to their ally on a successful revive
This health regen will restore an ally to full health, but can be canceled by incoming damage
Support Legends will also receive this health regen if revived
Additionally, Banner Crafting and Ally Death Boxes now spawn a Mobile Respawn Beacon
Support Legends can see Mobile Respawn Beacons inside Death Boxes
Collecting Banners will automatically take a Mobile Respawn Beacon in an ally deathbox if possible (will not replace current survival item).
SKILL DISPLAY IMPROVEMENTS
Into the Rift is bringing nostalgia, but we’re also bringing something new: skill display improvements. This new feature will display the balancing of each match and update live as each player loads into the match—giving you a true rank distribution of all players.
This is just the latest in our ongoing evaluation and improvement of Ranked. Players were looking for more insights and fairness in their matches and this is our next step.
Go Original and experience the beginning of Apex Legends. Again. Relive the first drop in Launch Royale with original Legends, Weapons, and more. Charge your loadout with overcranked weapons and abilities from Rift Relics. Get active with Lifeline, revived with new abilities. Sharpen your arsenal with the Raptor’s Claw Universal Melee Cosmetic and conquer an all-new Battle Pass!
Dev Team Update: Linux & Anti-Cheat
Hey Legends,
We’re sharing today that Linux (and Steam Deck using Linux) will no longer be able to access Apex Legends. Our dev team wanted to provide a bit more context into this and share some of the decision-making process that happened along the way. As mentioned in our prior anti-cheat dev blog, competitive integrity is a top priority for our team and there are many ways in which we’re battling cheaters—this is one to add to the list. We remain committed to more regular updates on topics like this and appreciate your continued reports. Read on to hear from our Anti-Cheat Team. ---
What’s happening?
In our efforts to combat cheating in Apex, we've identified Linux OS as being a path for a variety of impactful exploits and cheats. As a result, we've decided to block Linux OS access to the game. While this will impact a small number of Apex players, we believe the decision will meaningfully reduce instances of cheating in our game. Linux is used by default on the Steam Deck. There is currently no reliable way for us to differentiate a legitimate Steam Deck from a malicious cheat claiming to be a Steam Deck (via Linux). Decision making process The openness of the Linux operating systems makes it an attractive one for cheaters and cheat developers. Linux cheats are indeed harder to detect and the data shows that they are growing at a rate that requires an outsized level of focus and attention from the team for a relatively small platform. There are also cases in which cheats for the Windows OS get emulated as if it’s on Linux in order to increase the difficulty of detection and prevention. We had to weigh the decision on the number of players who were legitimately playing on Linux/the Steam Deck versus the greater health of the population of players for Apex. While the population of Linux users is small, their impact infected a fair amount of players’ games. This ultimately brought us to our decision today.
Next steps
To eliminate this cheat vector, we have made the decision to prevent access to the game for Linux users. This means that Apex Legends will be unplayable immediately for those running this operating system. Playing on handhelds, such as the Steam Deck, is still possible if the user opts to install Windows. To clarify, this will not impact users who play Apex via Steam on Windows (or other supported platforms). Thanks for everyone’s continual support and we look forward to sharing future anti-cheat updates! --- This is only a part of our ongoing efforts towards Apex’s anti-cheat. We are continually expanding and refining our detection and banning capabilities globally. Keep an eye out for more news to come in the future. Please continue to report cheaters using the designated tools and channels. Your reports are helpful and matter to us and anti-cheat continues to be a top priority for us. For future updates and the latest info, continue to follow us here or check out the Apex Tracker Trello for bugs or concerns we’re investigating.
