What to Expect from Apex Legends Season 29
Apex Legends Season 29 will introduce a variety of new content, with the standout addition being the brand-new Legend named Axle. She is a fast-paced Skirmisher who can slide around the battlefield. Her kit focuses entirely on slide mechanics, while her ultimate ability allows players to target enemies and displace them from cover.
In addition to the new Legend, Season 29 brings Deathbox Respawns, a new mechanic that lets players revive teammates directly at their deathbox with a seven-second cast. A cooldown system will limit repeated revives, increasing the delay each time a player is eliminated.
