Season 6 of Apex Legends has brought many innovations to the battle royale, as the developers look to freshen the experience for players amid steep competition from the likes of Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone.
On top of a new Legend, Rampart, and the introduction of the crafting system, World's Edge, one of the two maps present in the battle royale, has received updates to several key locations.
Let's detail all of them and the changes described by Jason McCord, design director in Apex Legends, in the official Respawn blog.
