E-District map details
According to Respawn, E-District is a “cyberpunk playground” that offers a ton of verticality and a ton of new features the game hasn’t seen before.
The map features a new Gravity Launcher that’s similar to the Gravity Cannons in Storm Point. These will allow players to rotate around the map quickly and take advantage of the verticality – as some Gravity Launchers act as Jump Pads for height, while others are for distance.
E-District is dense, with lots of playable space in residential areas and markets where close-quarter combat is king. Instead of large, open spaces like Storm Point, expect to see a bustling city that’s packed with detail.
Respawn also revealed that the map will have a ton of secrets to find that add to world building and the overarching story of the Apex Legends universe.
Season 22 is releasing soon, and alongside the new map, devs are nerfing aim assist and adding a brand new mode for players to enjoy. The new Battle Pass will also contain a ton of new cosmetics, so be sure to check it out.
