A new Apex Legends Season 17 teaser has been released by Respawn Entertainment today, showcasing a variety of improvements coming to the game on May 9, 2023.

The trailer for Apex Legends Season 17 has been released by Respawn Entertainment today. The new season will feature new World’s Edge locations, a game-changing survival item, a stylish new Legend, new methods for progression, and much more. The iconic Firing Range is also getting a complete makeover in Season 17 after remaining largely untouched since its release in Apex years ago.

Upgraded Firing Range

With various gameplay improvements, Apex Legends’ Firing Range now has a new and enhanced map. The updated firing range serves as a venue for players to become comfortable with the game’s features, in contrast to the previous version’s extremely simple aim training course. The most significant change is that players can now engage in friendly competition with their buddies in a brand-new dueling arena.

Additionally, the player won’t have to recreate the lobby each time someone drops in, which was a major pain point in the past. With the new update, when a player joins a party, they automatically drop into any active Firing Range. There is a new town portion to more accurately simulate action, where players can engage in battle with dummies, and there is even an arena specifically designed for the time-tested Firing Range duel.

Furthermore, the new firing range will also have shootable targets that light up in different colors to provide feedback on where the targets were hit. Interacting with doors has always been a key part of the game, and now players will finally have the chance to practice their skills around them in the new Firing Range.

New Legend Ballistic, Evac Tower, and improved ping system

The new season will finally bring a long-awaited new Legend to Apex Legends. Ballistic is an Assault Legend with a fully offensive skill set who can carry a third weapon and use his skills to buff teammates and himself while also debuffing opponents.

The next major feature in the new season is Evac Tower, which enables the player to spawn a jump tower anywhere they wish to place it. Evac also has significant drawbacks, such as a brief deployment delay and vulnerability to coordinated enemy attacks.

Additionally, Apex Legends is improving its ground-breaking ping system, which enables voiceless communication between players. Respawn is including pinging on the entire map as well as adding many fresh callouts.
