Apex Legends previews Cipher's Strongholds and Akimbo Wingman

Apex Legends' Cipher season begins November 3, with its newly published patch notes introducing Strongholds and Legend banning in Diamond-and-above Ranked matches. Players in those higher-ranked lobbies will vote on characters to exclude before each match. Entry costs also change when a player's rank sits well above or below the lobby median.

Apex Legends' Cipher season begins November 3, with its newly published patch notes introducing Strongholds and Legend banning in Diamond-and-above Ranked matches. Players in those higher-ranked lobbies will vote on characters to exclude before each match. Entry costs also change when a player's rank sits well above or

below the lobby median. Strongholds are locked structures that arrive by airdrop around the middle of a match. Controlling their surrounding area opens them, awards the capturing team a level and grants access to rare loot, potentially including Care Package weapons. They also deploy cover and can kill players beneath

their landing zone. The Wingman receives an Akimbo option: collecting a second pistol pairs the weapons, with Heavy Ammo replacing Sniper Ammo. The notes describe increased recoil and reload time alongside the doubled magazine. Read the official announcement. Official game details. Image: Respawn / Electronic Arts via
