Beginning August 6, Apex Legends: Shockwave brings with it free revivals, a new map, a new weapon meta, and more.

As part of Apex Legends: Shockwave, players will be able to take advantage of Unlimited Revivals until the end of Round 4. Note that at least one squadmate needs to be alive.

Also, new to Apex Legends: Shockwave is the neon-laden E-District. This close-quarters map has been built for verticality and instant, continuous action.

Visible Enemy Health Bars and Highlights will be included, along with players always having another straight shot starting early on. 

The new Bot Royale mode will be available beginning August 6, letting players get real combat experience while sending bots to the scrapyard. This can be done either solo or with a premade squad.

Finally, when it comes to new weapon meta, players will be able dual-wield P2020s and Mozambiques to galvanize the battlefield and automatically double up on firepower.
