Ended up picking up the Champions Edition for all the characters, really enjoying Loba just for getting easy loot quickly as well as Rampart and Horizon.
The difficult has properly spiked now though, we're getting murdered within 5 seconds of dropping down. We were hoping after a few nights of being destroyed we'd get bumped down to the noob leagues again but no such luck. Still enjoying it though, the movement and look of the game is fantastic, love that you can go into the old maps as well in the playlists which is something different, although we have no clue where we're dropping on the newer maps haha.
I think this is so much better than Warzone, it just 'feels' more responsive and dynamic. I still prefer PUBG but definitley going to give this for a season at least.
Really lovely to see more people getting into this - I've been loving playing with forum peeps. Winckle and I got a couple of decent wins over the weekend, too!
Very happy to play with anyone -I'm not very good but I'm pretty knowledgeable about the game's systems if you just want a walking encyclopedia to wax lyrical over the various situations where you'll want to choose an L-Star over a Volt.
Also, Photek, when you get to level 10 join the GRcade club!
Christmas Limited time mode being rolled out again. Basically you fight to control the Train on World's Edge. Multiple rounds and you respawn each round. Also no looting as each character is given a set load out that changes each day (and each character has a different load out).

I'm level 11... there's a club?
Yep! Have a search for GRcade and whizz us a request to join. Just shows who's online and who's won a game recently. Makes cross platform tramping up sliiiightly easier, but also on the GRcade discord Winckle has helpfully allowed us to assign roles for games we like which people can tag if they want to game up, so I'd recommend joining that too and giving yourself the Apex tag (as well as other games you like).
Also feedback on how well I did approximating the GRcade logo in Apex symbols appreciated.

The Fight Night Event starts on 6th Jan (for GMT players)
A new temporary game-type, the “Airdrop Escalation Takeover” The Pathfinder Town Takeover The Fight Night Collection Event, and its associated rewards track, collectible cosmetics, and the new Gibraltar heirloom. Newly generous loot-granting MRVNs And a whole host of balance changes and bug fixes
AIRDROP ESCALATION TAKEOVER
With this update, we’re testing a new approach to LTMs. Instead of launching as its own playlist, the Airdrop Escalation LTM will be a “takeover” of the normal “Play Apex” game mode. It’s classic Battle Royale, but with way, way more supply drops. Immediately after you leave the Jumpship, you’ll find a cluster of four supply drops across the map. During each round, more will drop—they land at the same speed as Lifeline’s Care Packages.
Each supply drop contains a fully-kitted weapon of different tiers, depending on the round. For example, Round one’s drops feature level two kitted weapons while Round four’s drops include red armor and crate weapons. As with regular fully-kitted weapons, you can’t break them down or swap their attachments onto other weapons. And, of course, regular weapons and weapons will still appear as ground loot.
We’re curious to see what y’all think about the “takeover” approach to LTMs, so let us know!
PATHFINDER TOWN TAKEOVER
Drop your weapons and get ready for a brawl in Pathfinder’s Town Takeover: Fight Night style.
Entering the ring will prevent any player from using their weapons and any of their abilities. The only way to beat someone is via a bit of fist o’ cuffs. Oh, and don’t worry about any outside ring interference—no outside projectiles, grenades, or abilities can penetrate the ring’s force field.
Punchout the loot balls contained within the ring to scoop up some rare loot. Just remember you can’t use it until you leave!
FIGHT NIGHT COLLECTION EVENT AND REWARDS TRACK
The Fight Night Collection Event brings another set of 24 themed, limited-time cosmetics to Apex Legends.
All 24 items will be available through direct purchase (for Apex Coins or Crafting Metals) and in Event Apex Packs for the entire duration of the event.
Each Event Pack will come with one event item and two non-event items at the following drop rates:
If you want to learn more about how Event-Limited Cosmetics work, visit our FAQ.
If you collect all 24 event items, you’ll get the Gibraltar Heirloom.
Ultimate Accelerants can now be used without opening your inventory. If your ultimate is not currently available, just press the button (or buttons, on a controller) to activate it, and you’ll pull out any stored Accelerant in your inventory and use it automatically. When in a lobby, if a party member leaves your lobby for any reason, all party members will be marked as “not ready.” This should stop accidental launches into a match when your buddy dipped out for a second. The fabled “Mark All As Seen” button has been added. Click this to remove the pesky (I mean helpful) red dots. Pinging the nearest respawn beacon (from spectate) will now always ping the nearest beacon unless you don't have enough time to use it before the ring closes over it, instead of defaulting to the nearest beacon in the next safe ring. We now show you how many treasure packs are needed to acquire the next comic page. This should just make it easier to people who are chasing the new bit of lore to know how far away they are. Caustic should now smash the door with his Heirloom hammer instead of his leg, if available. We added a small bit of information to the Find Friends box to describe a situation where your friend might not be findable because of their EA account settings.
As always I am very up for showing anyone who wants to get into Apex the ropes! I'm not very good considering how much I've played but I know a lot and really love this game.
EDIT: Oh, and Mirage's Decoys are going to make footstep noises now. I am overly excited about this.
The last zone was 2 Vs 2, I downed an enemy and killed him by burning through his shield with the mini gun too. Then my Wraith team mate decided to YOLO the last enemy and got herself killed, to be fair she was really really helpful the rest of the game.
Thankfully the last enemy just decided to run out of cover into my machine gun for some reason
