The new Apex Legends Cipher trailer makes a bold pitch: in this Arena, the deadliest weapon isn’t a gun, it’s information. Respawn and Electronic Arts have released a gameplay trailer built around intel and hacking, with Crypto receiving a firmware upgrade.
Cipher Gameplay Trailer: What Was Shown
The trailer focuses on an information-driven approach to combat. Rather than relying only on firepower, squads are encouraged to gather essential intel to get the upper hand over rivals.
Crypto’s Firmware Upgrade: Surveillance Drone and Rewired EMP Ultimate
Crypto’s firmware upgrade adds a battery-powered Surveillance Drone that tags on sight. His EMP Ultimate has also been rewired as part of the upgrade.
Dual Akimbo Wingman and Stronghold Raids
The trailer also highlights a dual Akimbo Wingman, which lets players double their firepower. Players can also raid Strongholds for major loot.
Rebooted Revenant and Lifeline
Revenant and Lifeline are also shown in rebooted form, with the trailer pitching them as tools to help squads seize the advantage. The description doesn’t say how these legends have changed, so players will need to see them in action for specifics.
