Nessie is said to be found hidden within Apex Legends ' training map. Players are able to jump into this mode from the main menu, and are actually encouraged to do so upon first booting up the game. Speaking to Kotaku , Respawn's PR manager Brad Hilderbrand addressed why the creature made its triumphant return to the limelight: " The plush dino critter is Nessie, a long-running Respawn Easter egg. All the maps in Titanfall and Titanfall 2 had a hidden Nessie somewhere in them, so the team kept her legend alive in Ape

This situation is very reminiscent of 2016 when EA awkwardly positioned Titanfall 2 to release beside Battlefield 1 , just one week apart, preventing it from standing out. Its hype fizzled out almost immediat

The other creature hiding within Apex Legends Legends Guide|Https://Apexarenaelite.Com/ Legends is none other than a dog. The creature has been found in two locations so far. A gap within the mountains on the training map has one dog tucked away within it, while the other dog is located in King Canyon's market area within the actual Apex map. Both appear to be toys of the exact same dog, although the latter is surrounded by pictures of real-world dogs. The history of this Easter egg has yet to be explained, so it may or may not just act as a loving tribute to pets of some of Respawn's develop

Indeed, there are Easter Eggs are scattered about Apex Legends that longtime followers of the studio are sure to find familiar. One of these comes in the form of a Loch Ness Monster-inspired animal affectionately referred to by the community as Nessie (though it doesn't have anything do with the Toho monster of the same name). This loveable plesiosaurus has made the transition over to Apex Legends – much to the delight of fans – but it's not alone. In fact, there is another pair of stuffed animals that can be found within the g

Nonetheless, Respawn is taking steps in nearly all the right directions with Apex Legends so far, and this most recent effort to include players is no exception. When considering Apex Legend _ 's quick climb to success and the game's inherent live-service model (as well as a rumored _Titanfall project coming this year ), it will be will be intriguing to see how Respawn continues to put players first in 2

On top of the game's racial diversity, two of the Legends have been confirmed as LGBTQ characters. The first is Gibraltar, who is a tank-like character with heavily defensive abilities. In his official biography on EA’s website his backstory talks about "when he and his boyfriend stole his father’s motorcycle", highlighting his sexuality in a way which is relevant to his backgro

On the plus side, once you hit the Q button (or console equivalent), you are immune to damage for the entire 3 seconds and get a 20% movement boost. This is incredibly useful for running away from other teams, getting out of a closing circle, and can be very powerful when combined with other abilit

EA had Battlefield V releasing alongside Black Ops 4 but the publisher rushed developer DICE into releasing the game just two years after Battlefield 1 , meaning it launched with much of its content missing, including the game's co-op mode and Firestorm battle royale mode . Worse yet, Firestorm will only support 64 players, quite a bit under the magic battle royale player count number of 100. As we know now, Apex Legends will support even less play

Then again, perhaps these are hinting at future Apex Legends updates. Maybe animal companions will be added just like pets joined Fortnite , which would be a wonderful cosmetic item for gamers hoping to customize the rather wonderfully inclusive characters of **Apex Legends ** a little more. Only time will tell what Respawn Entertainment is doing with these hidden animals, but it likely won't be long until fans learn if there's a greater purpose behind their inclus

In an interview with Eurogamer , Respawn lead producer Drew McCoy was refreshingly open about how players ended up with Apex Legends instead of Titanfall 3 . Matter-of-factly, he acknowledges the perceived oversaturation of the battle royale genre and confirms that Titanfall 3 is not currently in development. Learning from the PR disaster Blizzard brought upon itself by announcing Diablo Immortal for mobile when fans were expecting Diablo 4 , McCoy says that the surprise release of Apex Legends was a carefully calculated bid to " let the game speak for itself ." And it seems to have paid off spectacularly, with the game's sudden launch stirring an overwhelmingly optimistic response from critics and gamers alike. Almost forlornly, McCoy admits that he and the rest of Respawn were very aware of the kind of game they were working on and the logically negative conclusions that players would draw if given too long to judge the game prior to release, say
