Apex Legends Lost Treasures patch notes

Here is a look at the official Apex Legends Lost Treasures patch notes.

2. Armed & Dangerous Evolved LTM

The Armed & Dangerous limited time mode will see a few changes. In the upcoming LTM, no other weapon will be allowed except for Shotguns and Snipers. Players will start the game with a Mozambique and Evo armour. All the other armours will no longer be available in the loot pool. In addition, Respawn beacons will also be no longer available.

3. Mobile Respawn Beacons

Need to Respawn on the go? Use the new Mobile Respawn Beacons. In the Armed and Dangerous LTM, players will start the match with one in their inventory. Then from the inventory screen, deploy it anywhere on the map and save your fallen teammates. But beware, calling in a Respawn Beacon takes time, giving your enemies time to find you, take you out, and use that Beacon you just deployed. So find that safe spot before you call it in.

4. Crypto Town Takeover

Crypto will take over the game with the upcoming update and also provide some recon to Kings Canyon. The Crypto Map Room can be found at the south-east of the map, under the Repulsor.

5. Heirloom - Mirage's Trophy

Mirage will be getting his Heirloom with the latest patch. The gorgeous statue will make sure that you actually look good while you're in the arena.
