Plus the usual cosmetic gubbins
Imagine a battle royale game, right, but instead of dropping into an arena with one life and no guns, you actually start with your loadout and can respawn as many times as you like while you fight over control points in 9v9 matches. Now stop imagining that, because it’s exactly what you’ll get to do when Control mode temporarily returns toApex Legendsnext week as part of theSpellboundCollection Event. I think the idea’s got legs.

Getting to play Control mode again is the real reward. It sounds (and is) silly, but a more traditional multiplayer mode with respawns is a great place to stretch your apelegs. The 3v3 Arenas mode lets you get more practice in than a regular battle royale, but there’s still a lot of waiting around. Constant fighting is the fastest path to improvement, and free, infinite respawns are the only route to that.
The second fastest path to improvement, of course, is reading Ollie’s exemplary guides, fromthe best weapons in Apex Legendstothe best characters in Apex Legends.
Apex Legends remains excellent. You can download it for freeon Steam.
