Apex Legends Mobile Season 2 Distortion Now Live
/
Season 2 of the mobile version of Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale shooter Apex Legends Mobile is now live for iOS and Android. Title Distortion, this new update adds new maps, game modes, the new Legend named Rhapsody, events, and a few balance changes.
It’s a rather beefy update as Season 2 brings tons of new content such as two new maps, new cosmetics, two new game modes, a new Legend, and more.
Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect from Distortion.
New Maps
● Pythas Block 0: A beautiful mobile-first Team Deathmatch map, Pythas Block 0 is a corporate campus owned by Pythas Inc. that sits high above the city Kómma on Solace.
● Kings Canyon: The King is back! To celebrate the launch of Kings Canyon on mobile, Rhapsody placed some VIP Tickets for her next concert on the map for players to find.
New Modes
● Gun Game: Acquire kills to work your way through the extensive Arsenal of guns available in the Apex Games. Most points, or three melee kills wins in this fast paced game mode!
● Hack: In this mode, two teams face off as Hackers vs. Defenders. There is an ADS Satellite with an orbital cannon that has been built overlooking the playing field.The Hacker team works together to hack one of the two sites on the map to gain points. After three points have been attained, the Satellite will punish your opponents by frying them to a crisp. As defenders, your job is to stop the hackers at all costs!
New Legend: Rhapsody
● A DJ from Kómma where the tech giant Pythas Inc. controls all, Rhapsody has used her love of music to rise out of the dangerous nightlife district: Neon Dunes and become one of the hottest Legends on the Apex scene. Her mother, a brilliant AI engineer who created Rhapsody’s companion bot Rowdy, had a checkered history with Pythas, and now Rhapsody competes in the Apex Games under their banner. Rhapsody has a number of perks and abilities including:
○ Passive: Gifted Ear - Picks up and visualizes sounds from an extended range.
○ Tactical: Hype Anthem - Play a powerful track that speeds up nearby squadmates and recharges shields. Taking damage will end the effect.
○ Ultimate Ability: Rowdy’s Rave - Rowdy projects a wall of flashing lights that blocks incoming sight and scans.
● Legend Progression Perks:
○ Volume Control - Squadmates affected by your Tactical temporarily gain Gifted Ear.
○ Sound Bleed -Occasionally see nearby 3D sound visualizations effects through walls.
○ Tuned In - Continuous running increases the range of Gifted Ear.

○ Rowdy’s Rhythm - During your ultimate, squadmates standing near Rowdy reload faster.

Respawn Entertainment have been quite active in keeping the mobile version of Apex Legends as midway through the first season they released a major update that added in the Legend Loba into this version of the game, but it’s nothing compared to the Season 2 offering as this has to be the game’s biggest update to date.
