Season 5 Legend Loba Revealed For Apex Legends In New Trailer

Roughly a week ago, Respawn Entertainment shared that we’re just on the horizon for Apex Legends’ fifth season for new content and of course a new Legend for players to sample in the 2019-released battle royale. The developer went on to reveal yet another timed event for players to take on in the meantime as Season 5 will kick off following the final day of the new in-game experience.

Revealing the Battle Armor Event, players can expect to drop into World’s Edge pre-equipped with a vest of body armor and a P2020 handgun. However, after every four days, players can find themselves in a tier higher body armor until they approach Evo armor in the second week of May.

Now in a new reveal related to Season 5, Respawn Entertainment released the next Stories from the Outlands revealing the latest addition to the cast of Legends, Loba. You can watch her coming up and her story of thievery in the video below:

Taken from the trailer, elements that depict Loba introduces her prominent choice of wielding a staff. If my interpretation can accurately depict some of her characteristics, this will be the first melee-focused character to be added to the roster. While she certainly is not the first to be introduced with a background in using her hands – looking at you Forge – she will surely be the inaugurating character to do so unless she is killed off too.

Other elements includes the ability to teleport instantly and pick open locks. While the ability to reposition yourself can be wrapped around, there is less tangible evidence to suggest she can crack into locked pieces of the map. There is the chance that locked crate and areas can be accessed with Loba in the trio, but as of yet there is no strong support to back that theory.

Going back on killing off characters, Loba’s back story actually runs parallel with recently added Legend Revenant. The cybernetic assassin that off’d Forge also happens to be the killer of her family as well. Loba is also a first for directly bridging other playable characters in their respected Stories from the Outlands video.

What are you excited to learn about Loba for the approaching Season 5?
