What to expect from Apex Legends Season 29?
Apex Legends Season 29 is going to introduce a variety of new content, with arguably the best introduction being the brand-new legend in the form of Axle. She is going to be a fast-paced Skirmisher, who you can use to slide around the battlefield. Essentially, the legend’s kit completely focuses on the slide mechanics, whereas her ultimate in the game provides you with the ability to target enemies and displace them away from cover.Besides the new legend, Apex Legends Season 29 also ends up bringing in Deathbox Respawns. The same is a new mechanic that enables you to revive your teammates directly at their deathbox with a seven-second cast. There is going to be a cooldown system, which will end up limiting repeated revives, increasing the delay each time a player is eliminated.
