What’s new in Apex Legends Season 3: Meltdown?
New Legend: Crypto
Crypto will be the newest Legend that players will be able to play as in Kings Canyon, which doesn’t come as a major surprise considering all of the info that was leaked prior to this announcement, and the fact that he was even briefly shown in-game recently.
While Crypto’s three abilities have not been officially confirmed, Respawn did offer a hint with this in-game description: “Cool, calm, collected Crypto deploys specialized surveillance drones to stay in the fight and out of the spotlight.”

Season 3 will introduce a brand new weapon called the Charge Rifle, which looks like it will be an energy-based weapon that will release a direct beam of energy instead of firing rounds.
“Carve your way across the Arena with this obliterating directed-energy weapon,” reads the official description.
