Apex Legends Season 22: Shockwave

New Features Boosting Apex Legends in Season 22: Shockwave

If you're a fan of Apex Legends, you already know that each new season brings a fresh wave of content, and Season 22, titled Shockwave, is no different. But this time, instead of introducing a new Legend, Respawn has decided to shake things up with some game-changing updates that are bound to boost your experience. Here’s everything you need to know to get a leg up in the latest season.

A New Map to Explore: E-District

Let’s start with the new playground: E-District. This isn't just any map—it’s the first nighttime cityscape to grace Apex Legends. A neon-lit urban jungle filled with multi-story buildings and tight alleyways, perfect for some intense, close-quarters combat. If you’ve been craving a map that puts a premium on verticality and urban warfare, E-District is here to boost your adrenaline levels.

This map is packed with Points of Interest like Old Town, Blossom Drive, and Heights. These areas are designed to encourage more vertical movement, giving players plenty of opportunities to outmaneuver their opponents. If you're the type who loves to perch on rooftops or zipline between buildings, E-District is going to be your new favorite spot. We can already tell that Pathfinder mains are going to love this one.

Split Battle Pass

Season 22 also introduces a big change to the Battle Pass system. In a move that caused controversy, the Battle Pass was initially split into two parts, each costing $10 USD. However, after some serious backlash from the community, Respawn backtracked. The Battle Pass can still be purchased using Apex Coins, and Respawn has promised better rewards moving forward. This means more value for your money and a reason to keep grinding those levels.

Controller Nerfs: Aim Assist Gets Adjusted

One of the most talked-about changes in Shockwave is the nerf to aim assist for controller players. This is particularly relevant in PC lobbies, where the debate between mouse-and-keyboard and controller players has the community divided. If you’re a controller player, you’ll notice a decrease in aim assist strength—25% for those on PC, 22% for console players in PC lobbies, and 18% for console players overall. While this might sound like a downside, it’s a change aimed at boosting fairness in cross-platform play, leveling the playing field across all platforms.

New Battle Sense Features

Season 22 is also rolling out a brand-new feature called Battle Sense, designed to help you stay on top of your game. You’ll be getting real-time updates when you're low on ammo or seeing enemy health bars appear as you deal damage. These small tweaks are geared toward boosting your situational awareness and keeping you in the fight longer. Plus, this feature is available for all Legends, so no one gets left out of the loop. For anyone starting out, it’s the perfect time to start climbing the ranks in Apex Legends Season 22.

Loot Bins Get a Major Upgrade

Looting just got a lot more exciting in the new season. Midway through each match, loot bins across the map will refresh with higher-tier loot, giving you another chance to gear up and boost your firepower. Plus, there’s a new Mythic loot bin that spawns once per match, filled with all sorts of goodies like gold weapons, medical supplies, and even a Care Package weapon. Sure, it takes a while to open, but the rewards are definitely worth the wait.

Death Box Redesign for Faster Looting

If you’ve ever lost a match because you were stuck looting a Death Box, the new layout introduced in Season 22 is here to help. Healing items and Shield Cores are now at the top of the Death Box menu, so you can grab what you need faster and get back in the fight. This small change is all about boosting your efficiency, making sure you spend less time sifting through loot and more time taking down opponents.

Akimbo Mode: Dual-Wield

For those who love a bit of chaos, Shockwave brings Akimbo mode to the Mozambique and P2020. Picking up a second of either weapon allows for dual-wielding, boosting your firepower with a doubled magazine size and mirrored attachments. Sure, these might not be the most powerful weapons in the game, but in those early-game moments when loot is scarce, having two guns instead of one can make all the difference.

Season 22 of Apex Legends is all about boosting the core gameplay experience, whether that’s through a flashy new map, smarter looting, or tweaks to balance and mechanics. So, grab your squad, dive into E-District, and take advantage of all the new features!
