Apex Legends has a new event to kick off the New Year right. The Apex Legends Spellbound Event will bring along the LTM Control, private matches, and new cosmetics when it launches on January 10.
Control Returns
The limited-time game mode Control makes its return in the new Spellbound event. For those who may have missed it before, Control is a 9 vs. 9 battle to control Zones on the map with infinite respawns. The following maps will be available for the duration of the mode:
- Storm Point: Barometer
- World’s Edge: Lava Siphon
- Olympus: Hammond Labs
Control Changes
This iteration of Control will be having some minor/major changes being implemented. Those changes are as follows:
- Join In Progress extended further into the match
- Players that join a match in progress get some helpful boosts for their first spawn:
- Skip the first spawn wave
- Spawn with Purple Armor and Helmet
- Get a full rating tier
- 150 XP for completing a match.
- If a team is losing by a score of 62 or more, they skip spawn waves.
- Added Distance Indicator on the MRB in-world Icon.
- Added Time Remaining Indicator on the MRB spawn point Map Icon.
- Display a hint message when MRB placement is not possible explaining why placement is failing
- Bloodhound clues clean up after 30 secs instead of 90 secs.
- Clean up Bloodhound clues when the player that left them behind dies.
- Some more spawn tuning to further try to prevent players from spawning close to enemies.
- Set the Inventory Tab as the default instead of Scoreboard when accessing the menu during gameplay.
- Updates to Loadouts in the Loadout Selection Menu based on Weapon Meta Changes
- Bug and Crash Fixes
Private Matches
The feature to hold private matches is now here beginning January 10. Lobby codes will be generated so players can host their own tournament codes and host custom private matches. There can be a total of 20 teams.
New Cosmetics
During the event, there will be plenty of limited-time offers in the Store tab and 24 new cosmetic items in the Spellbound Apex Packs. For gamers who buy all 24 of the Spellbound event cosmetics, they will receive Seer’s new Heirloom, the “Showstoppers”.
