A new hunt will unlock each week on Tuesday, with 9 in total across the season. That means you'll need to collect 45 Treasure Packs in order to access all 9 Hunts, or in other words, play at least 1 game for 45 days across the sea

A new zone in Season 5, Salvage replaces the combined area of Skulltown and Thunderdome. It’s a very active zone with a lot of loot, extraction shooter Genre and there are only a few ways to escape should a player land here and find themselves facing numerous other squads. Players also have to be careful of the water, because it’s very easy to fall off the map while fighting h

This is a fun, if extremely active, drop location. Its entryway via the portal in the sky means trap characters such as Caustic and Wattson can quickly set up shop here and block other players out. However, teams also choose to land at the buildings just south of labs, meaning players will likely face fights as they try to exit. Labs now has an additional backdoor area that funnels into Capacitor, so players have several ways to escape should they find themselves in a b

Teams with very strategic approaches to combat will likely make Wattson a must in their team compositions. She has a set of abilities that are great at zoning and keeping control of a specific location. Wattson's Interception Pilon can also protect her team from enemy launchers and explosi

As expansive as Kings Canyon is in _Apex Legends _ , there are a few prime spots to land in Season 5 and a few to avoid. Some of the more popular locations will be heavily populated so it's up to each player do decide if they want to go up against the competition or avoid the mess, at least for a little while, and stay off to the sides. Each method of play has its rewards and benefits and the drop locations can help to establish those types of pl

In Season 5 the Wingman still isn't a top tier weapon in the game, but it is nice that it saw some love via skins. Every season the game tends to end the battle pass with a pair of skins for a specific weapon. The most notable was when the R-301 Carbine received a pair of rhinoceros inspired skins, with one being gold and the other silver. The Wingman received the same treatment and its Precision Caliber skin happens to have a flashier golden design, whereas its counterpart which we'll get into later is a lot more sub

The Triple Take is an interesting sniper rifle that seems useless until it's used by someone very skilled. Scarab's Bite is the Season 5 skin for the Triple Take and it feels like an homage to Widowmaker of Overwatch . Purple and black are the primary colors of the design, which happens to have speckles of red sprinkled throughout. You may not be using this gun much in Season 5 as it isn't a top tier weapon, but it may be neat to roleplay as Widowmaker in the odd chance it's the only gun you h

Mirage may present himself as a bumbling idiot, but much like Marvel's Deadpool, he's much more capable in battle than he gives off. Some legends like Pathfinder were weakened with the Season 5 update, but Mirage was one of the lucky ones who had an ability overhaul for the bet

Each of Mirage's abilities has been buffed in this patch. His decoy, which now lasts for 60 seconds, can be fully controlled. At first the decoy will still run in a straight line, but now Mirage is able to control him by pushing H. The copy will move exactly like Mirage. Similarly, the decoys that deploy when Mirage ults will also mimic his every move. Most significantly, Mirage now cloaks when using respawn beacons and cloak himself and downed allies when rezz

This area can be either hit or miss with players dropping into it so it's a medium risk when it comes to encountering enemies. This place has a lot of loot crates and most of them are over a large area so be prepared to run. It's on the edge of the map so it tends to be out of the circle pretty quickly so make this location a quick loot and go. It does have a few buildings that are multi-leveled so combat doesn't get too crazy. Watch out for the corridors as going between buildings can have a trapping effect with players lulling others into the corridors and then flanking behind t

Sometimes in games, it feels like cosmetic items are universal and meant to work with a variety of characters, and sometimes it feels like they were made for an unnamed perfect pairing. The Gilded Hunt skin for the Charge Rifle definitely feels like the latter as the aesthetics of it magnetize it to the engineering legend, Wattson. The stark white coloring with subtle patterns makes it feel more like a tool and less like a weapon. Considering she dabbles with electricity, maybe the Charge Rifle is Wattson's preferred gun of cho

The Mastiff has received a nerf to damage, fire rate, and spread. Fully kitted, it feels a lot like the original Mastiff though, and with an increased projectile speed the gun is going to be an absolute monster to play agai
