One of the key phrases around Apex Legends right now is "beyond battle royale". Game director Chad Grenier mentioned the phrase in a blog post earlier this year, saying the team is launching "new ways to play the game that take us beyond battle royale". We now know what that means for Apex Legends, and it's the game's new Arenas mode.
This one is a new permanent fixture that takes the game away from 20-squad battle royale matches into a more focused, CS:GO-like contest. You'll be on a team of three, and you'll win the game if you can take at least three rounds while being two ahead of the enemy team. If the game reaches round nine without a winner, you'll head into a winner takes all showdown. The team has been playtesting this one since September 2019, so it's been a wee while in the making.
Each round sees players start with fresh base equipment and some materials to spend, regardless of whether you win or lose the round. You can either spend your materials on buying and upgrading weapons or purchasing extra charges for your ultimate and tactical abilities. Each round offers more materials than the last, so you'll be able to do more with what you've got as time goes on. For example, weapons are purchased as base guns with no attachments but go from white to blue to purple attachments as you upgrade them.
