Apex Legends Season 11 - everything you need to know

A new update for Season 11 of Apex legends is launching - with a brand new legend, a new weapon and a new map.

The patch will be going live in the UK this evening (November 2) at 5pm.

While updates for Apex Legends usually go live at 6pm, the clocks going back mean that we get it an hour sooner, to keep in line with a global launch.

This is just a generalised time, granting everything goes smoothly - server capacity and other bugs could mean the update might be delayed slightly.

With that out of the way, here's everything you need to know about the new season of Apex Legends.

New legend - Ash

Ash is finally being added to the Apex Legends roster (Electronic Arts)

It wouldn't be a new Apex Legends season without a new playable legend to shake up the meta.

This one is quite special, however.

Fans of the Titanfall series, where Apex Legends is set in the same universe, may recognise Ash.

She is a simulacrum who had a major role in Titanfall 2 where she was one of the major antagonists the player had to defeat.

And after she was defeated in Titanfall 2 it was presumed she was dead - now, apparently, she isn't.

Aside from her significance to the Titanfall story, Ash will come equipped with some impressive abilities that seem to directly counter Wraith.

Ash's abilities should be a good counter against Wratih (Electronic Arts)

Her passive ability, Marked For Death, allows her to see an enemy death box, providing some key intel on an enemy's location.

Her tactical ability, Arc Tether, is directly inspired by her Titan in Titanfall 2 and allows her to throw a snare that traps and damages enemies.

Ash's ultimate ability, Phase Breach, could be a game-changer for those annoyed with Wrath players constantly avoiding fights.

This ultimate allows her to create a one-way portal to a selected location, quickly scaling the battlefield to a safe or enemy location.

New weapon - C.A.R SMG

The new C.A.R SMG (Electronic Arts)

The C.A.R SMG will be a unique weapon that utilises both light and heavy rounds so players will no longer have to decide which one to hold in the early and mid-game.

Logistically, only one type of extended mag can be used on the C.A.R, however, both ammo types will still be extended while being used with the weapon.

New map - Storm Point

Storm Point is a dark tropical island (Electronic Arts)

Storm Point is a whole new map that appears to take place on a twisted tropical island.

With this map there will be new wildlife that players will be able to hunt or avoid, depending on how brave they are - there will be large spiders, prowlers, and flyers.

To boost around the map, redeploy balloons have been replaced by Gravity Cannons.
