The Hunt is on with Apex Legends season 2 — Battle Charge

Big updates are coming to Apex Legends in the next season  as EA confirms the launch date for season 2 called Battle Charge. The new season will add a new Event Map, Weapons, and a new Character.

If you’ve played Titanfall before, you’ll definitely recognize the L-Star SMG as it will be showing up in the arena. Leaked by data miners before the official announcement, this door breaking SMG can only be acquired through care packages to balance gameplay as the weapon is deemed to be too OP.

Natalie “Wattson” Paquette made the Apex Arena’s Ring a reality. Now,
she's joining the Games to put her shocking skills to use.
