NEW RECORD CATALYST | APEX LEGENDS: ECLIPSE PATCH NOTES

Explore a brand new map, summon your inner strength using Catalyst the new defensive Legend and show your kindness with the new gifting feature!
When she was a teenager, Boreas, Tressa Crystal Smith and her gang of friends were enthralled through the glow of their lost moon. However, fate led her to it when she fled at the age of 15 to join a terraforming team that was working to restore the moon. She embraced the task and felt a strong connection to her ferrofluid work and the rituals from her previous. However, the unwelcome arrival at the Apex Games brought her peaceful life to an end. She now joins at the Games as Catalyst the Legend determined to change the world and protect her home. She is able to use her ferrofluid to build up doors, make sharp spikes, and block the playing field by constructing high ferrofluid walls. Technology that is sufficiently advanced can be distinguished from magic and when her adversaries are able to decide? It’s already too late.

PASSIVE: Barricade

Doors can be strengthened by reinforcement, and locking them to their enemies the areas in areas where doors have been damaged. are also able to be strengthened.

TACTICAL: Puncting Spikes

Disperse an area of Ferrofluid which transforms into spikes once enemies come close. Catalyst is invulnerable to spikes from enemies.

ULTIMATE: Dark Veil

Make a permeable barrier of Ferrofluid. Anyone who walks through it will be stopped or partially blinded, for a short duration.

Take a look at Catalyst in action in her trailer below.

NEW MAP: BROKEN MOON

The Legends drop onto not just the moon, but a Broken Moon, but a split one. Explore the peace and beauty in The Eternal Gardens and Bionomics, or explore the moon’s dark side to explore industrial sites that are ruined such as The Perpetual Core and Breaker Wharf. Explore, climb or utilize jumping stations to get access to the latest Zip Rails and navigate the rough terrain. They were designed for locals to swiftly traverse the hills and chasms of Cleo and beyond, they’re the perfect ideal to get Legends who want to get moving.
