Respawn will punish players who dashboard out of ranked Apex games
Champion Chat – Holo-Day Bash Review:
Limited Time Mode – Winter Express
Three squads compete to capture the World’s Edge train, decked out in its holiday best, as it moves from station to station. For Winter Express, the path of the train is fixed to a smaller radius in order to ensure you’re never too far from all the action.
In Winter Express, each Legend comes with a custom, pre-determined load-out – no looting necessary here. Want to try something different? Eliminated players will respawn every round and can select different Legends to play mid-match. Explore different squad comps based on what your opponents are doing to hold the capture point. First to three captures wins!
Load-outs rotate daily, so log in often and play new combinations.

“Much has changed with Apex Legends as Season 3 begins to twilight, but most importantly is the game’s incredibly rapid rise in popularity. I recently heard a report from the Giant Bomb editors that Fortnite has in fact begun a decline in popularity over the last few months, whereas Apex Legends has in fact grown immensely, and even looks to be gaining on Fortnite. Such a shift will surely change Respawn’s own focuses, and perhaps even stranglehold any plans they may have had for future games (like Titanfall 3, though certainly Star Wars Jedi is still coming).
My question is, do you think Respawn will capitalize on the popularity and increase the content and modes in Apex going into 2020? And would you prefer they do that instead of focus on potential new games, like a Titanfall 3?”

“What weapons from Titanfall 2 do you all think should be brought over to Apex that have yet to be brought over?”
