The Apex Legends 1.10 update patch notes (1.2) have now been detailed by developer Respawn Entertainment. The new Apex Legends update today is now rolling out across PC, PS4, and Xbox One. All players will need to download and install the update to continue playing online. Highlights of the new Apex Legends patch include: The Legendary Hunt limited time event, which comes complete with challenges and rewards; Battle Pass bonus XP, which will help players rapidly move up through the ranks; and significant changes to the Kings Canyon location.

Apex Legends 1.10 Update Patch Notes (1.2) Highlights
The Legendary Hunt limited time event
The main highlight of the Apex Legends 1.10 update patch notes is The Legendary Hunt limited time event. This brings new challenges and rewards to the game, as well as the Apex Elite Queue and additional skins for Battle Pass owners.
Legendary Hunt rewards include: Legendary Hunt badge, Rare Wolfpack G7 Scout weapon skin, Epic Master of the Hunt Bloodhound Legend skin, and Legendary Tamed Beast Triple Take weapon skin.
The Apex Elite Queue takes Top 5 teams from the last match and pits them against each other in the next round. This means that matches will be filled with Top 5 winners, which is essentially like a limited-time ranked matchmaking system.
Additional Legendary skins for Battle Pass owners include the Legendary Honored Prey R-301 skin and the Wraith Night Terror Legendary skin.
Bonus XP and Double XP weekend
From June 4-18, players will be able to earn an entire Battle Pass level when they finish in the Top 5. This is limited to one Battle Pass level increase per day, meaning 15 potential boosts in total.
Helping players to rise up through the Battle Pass ranks is the Double XP weekend, which will take place from June 7 at 10 AM PT to June 10 at 10 AM PT.

We are working on a server side patch for these ASAP.
Playstation sign in bug for new players
-
[affects Playstation only] There is an issue with some brand new players that do not already have an EA account linked to PSN being unable to sign into the game. We’re working a fix for this to get out ASAP.
KINGS CANYON UPDATES
- Thunderdome has had some small changes to loot placement, mostly around moving loose loot into bins for more visibility on where the loot is.
- The Pit has about 2x the loot in it
- Repulsor has loot bins added to the west side of the area, on top of the trapezoid buildings.
- Some loot added to the underground pit in the small town in Shattered Forest.

- Mini Map direction will now display correctly while in the ship or skydiving.
- Improved server performance for some cases of rubberbanding when using items.
- Removed an exploit that allowed a squad to have more than one of the same Legend.

Apex Legends Players Titanfall

Everything Apex Legends players need to know about Titanfall
So, you're loving Apex, but you never got around to playing Titanfall? Are you curious where all those fancy legends come from? Have no fear! Take a whirlwind tour of the relevant bits of Titanfall lore so you can drop some trivia on your compatriots as you're dropping onto Kings Canyon. -
Titanfall's Timeframe
Titanfall and Titanfall 2 take place three decades before the events of Apex Legends. The two games depict The Frontier Wars, a large scale interstellar battle between the IMC and the Frontier Militia resistance movement. War was waged over the resources of the Frontier worlds, which the IMC wished to exploit. -
Jack Cooper
Titanfall 2 protagonist and possible Apex Legends character to be Jack Cooper is a rifleman in the Frontier Militia who plays a pivotal role in the Battle of Typhon. Alongside his Titan, BT-7274, he runs through a group of IMC mercenaries and earns his place in the Special Recon Squadron. -
The Apex Predators
Said mercenaries are the Apex Predators. Pilots include robotic genius Ash, the unpredictable Kane, Cloak Pilot Richter, and final boss Sloane. Each member provides a memorable boss encounter during Titanfall 2's campaign while piloting their own highly-customized Titans. The Apex Predators are also one of the selectable factions in multiplayer, led as always by Kuben Blisk. -
Kuben Blisk
You've probably already met Kuben Blisk even if you've never played Titanfall. After the war, Blisk became the organizer of the Apex Games, the subject of Apex Legends. Using the iconography of his old unit, he stays behind the scenes, although he does welcome all players at the beginning of the tutorial. -
The End of War
During the events of Apex Legends, the Frontier Wars are over, with the IMC being blasted into submission by the Militia forces. Both organizations have fled from the outlands, setting up the perfect environment for a large scale game show of death. -
Where are the Titans?
When Apex Legends was first being rumored, plenty of players asked where the Titans had gone. As it turns out, airdropping giant robots out of the sky costs money, and that's not something the outlanders of the Frontier can afford. We may see an Apex map with Titans in the future, but their exclusion makes sense from a story perspective. -
Weapon Origins
While time has passed, many of the same weapons used in the Frontier War remain viable arms in the Apex Games. From the Hemlok to the Kraber, you can get even more up close and personal time with your favorite Apex guns in Titanfall. Even the Mozambique! -
Possible New Armaments
Of course, not every weapon from Titanfall has been inducted into the Apex Games just yet. You have to imagine that Respawn is working on including some of TF's more unique implements. From an electric orb launcher to the infamous Smart Pistol to crawling grenades, there's plenty of room to grow. -
Bonus: The Origins of Bloodhound
It's not even just weapons that Respawn is drawing from. Soon after the release of Apex Legends, Titanfall fans discovered that Bloodhound was originally designed for the first game's aborted campaign. Could we see more rejected ideas find their way into this battle royale sensation? Someone get us a copy of that art book, pronto!
