Rhapsody’s introduction to Apex Legends Mobile leads a new update that includes a new map, the new Hack game mode, a new ranked season, Limited Time Modes, and a loaded Battle Pass.
EA and Respawn Entertainment announced Season 2: Distortion for Apex Legends Mobile arrives today for players in all regions where the game is available. Hot on the heels of the mid-season update, Cold Front, which saw the return of a fan favorite, Loba, the Season 2: Distortion will mark the debut of the second legend to come to mobile, Rhapsody: a beat-loving DJ with a cute but deadly AI robot helper named “Rowdy.” Along with this new legend, Warp will also feature other major content including a new map, a new game mode, and the mobile debut of the home map of Skull Town: The Kings Canyon.
In just under two months since its launch, Apex Legends Mobile has started to release a lot of exclusive content and improvements, which are the first steps in a path full of updates. The main content of Season 2: Distortion includes:
New Maps:
- Pythas Block 0: A beautiful new map for team deathmatches. Pythas Block 0 is a corporate campus belonging to Pythas Inc. which is located above the city of Kómma in Solace.
- Kings Canyon: The King is back! To celebrate the release of Kings Canyon on mobile, Rhapsody has placed some VIP tickets for their upcoming concert on the map for players to find.
New Game Modes:
- Gun Game: Earn eliminations to cycle through the extensive arsenal of weapons available in the Apex Games. The most points or three melee takedowns will be enough to win in this quick game mode!
- Hacking: In this game mode two teams will go head to head as Hackers vs. Defenders. There is an ADS satellite with an orbital cannon that watches over the playing field. Hackers must work together to hack one of the two sites on the map and earn points. Once they get three points, the satellite will punish the rivals leaving them fried. Defenders must stop hackers at all costs.
New Legend: Rhapsody
- A DJ from Kómma, where the tech giant, Pythas Inc., controls everything, Rhapsody used her love of music to lift herself out of poverty in the dangerous nightlife district of Neon Dunes, and became one of the most popular legends in the Apex scene. His mother, an AI engineer who created Rowdy, Rhapsody’s companion robot, was fired from Pythas Inc. for discovering company secrets and now this new legend must compete in the Apex Games representing them. Rhapsody has a list of perks and abilities including:
- Passive: Gifted Ear – Detects and visualizes sounds from a greater distance.
- Tactic: Anthem of Concussion – Play a powerful track that speeds up nearby squadmates and recharges shields. If you take damage, the effect will end.
- Ultimate Ability: Rowdy’s Delusion – Rowdy projects a wall of flickering lights that block vision and scans.
- Legend Progression Perks:
- Volume Control: Squad members affected by your tactical ability temporarily gain Prodigious Hearing.
- Sound Transposition: You will occasionally see visual effects of nearby sounds in 3D through walls.
- Logged In: Running continuously increases the range of Prodigious Hearing.
- Reverberation: The more members of your team affected by your tactical ability, the longer it will last.
- Harmony: Your tactical ability increases the speed of revives and the effect of healing items.
- Rowdy’s Pace: During his ult, squadmates near Rowdy will recharge faster.
