Apex Legends: 5 best places to land on new Kings Canyon in Season 5 Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends returned to Kings Canyon in Season 5 after a stint in the frosty World\u2019s Edge, though a few things have changed since fans last battled across the iconic original map \u2014 here are the five best places to land in Apex\u2019s new-look map this season. King\u2019s Canyon is currently not available in Apex, but we\u2019ll be sure to update this article as it comes back. – Respawn answered the prayers of Apex Legends players across the world when they brought back the battle royale\u2019s original map. It wasn\u2019t quite the same, however \u2014 Season 5 has seen Kings Canyon torn asunder. The infamous Skull Town was ripped out of the map, while a number of story changes have also slipped into the half-desert, half-jungle arena. Without further ado, here are the best places to land in every Apex match. The Broken Coast Respawn may have removed the ever-popular Skull Town and Thunderdome drop zones from Kings Canyon in Season 5, but that doesn\u2019t mean what has been left in their wake isn\u2019t worth the visit \u2014 quite the opposite! Where the high-action areas once stood, there is now \u201cThe Broken Coast,\u201d a new point of interest. Nearby stands \u201cSalvage\u201d as well. Both of these are still quite appealing for any Apex player that wants to grab loot, and kills. High-tier loot can be found across both areas, and there\u2019s a two-way zip line that connects Salvage with \u201cGauntlet\u201d on the other side of the destroyed coastline too. Underneath it all lies a series of tunnels, where secret loot bunkers are hidden. Like Skull Town and Thunderdome in past seasons, expect this shattered coastal area to be one of the season\u2019s hotspots. That\u2019s not really a bad thing \u2014 it means plenty of kills if you\u2019re good enough \u2014 but be warned all the same. Offshore Rig The new Offshore Rig area is another new Season 5 point of interest. It\u2019s buried in the northeast corner of Kings Canyon, and connects to Relay, Capacitor (also new), and Swamps via roads, tunnels, and bunkers. There are a few places here that boast some of the highest rarity loot in the game, including a spot hidden up on a hanging platform. Make sure you scour the whole area once you\u2019ve cleared out any enemies brave enough to follow you here. Just like The Broken Coast, Offshore Rig is one of those areas that is going to be swarming with enemies. Its high-tier loot is one reason and, of course, people love to try out new areas as well. Interest may die down as Season 5 continues. Artillery Plenty of Kings Canyon has been switched up in Season 5, but there are some things that just stay the same. Thankfully, Artillery is in that second camp. The far-off POI has retained all its loot and hangars, meaning it\u2019s a great spot to drop. The huge drop zone does come with a few drawbacks. The main one is that the legends who land there often have to put in some serious work finding the fight. Full games can often become a series of sprints across the map. If you\u2019re willing to put in the cross-country treks to find the final circles, however, Artillery is in the top five places to drop in Season 5 without a doubt. Familiarity, a huge stack of rare loot, and access to multiple key areas \u2014 this area has it all. Market On the same wavelength as Artillery, this next landing zone takes familiarity into account as much as anything else. As Kings Canyon changes around it, another point of interest seems to stay the same. That is the very central Market drop zone. There\u2019s plenty of loot here, so that gets a tick. Unlike Artillery, however, it\u2019s smack bang in the middle of the action early. This means it\u2019s often got one or two firefights popping up as soon as you get your boots on the ground. That\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing, of course. Plenty of high-level Apex Legends players want to get their kill-count going right from minute one. Market is perfect for that. The only actual downside for the long hall area is its medium-tier loot. Apart from that, Market is a great place to land. Even better, if you know you\u2019re going to head to the central POI, you can come prepared. Caustic is lethal here with his traps in side rooms. Loba can steal things from the middle of the area too. Both would be great picks for the area. Reclaimed Forest \u201cLook, Apex Legends is healing: sweaty pro Wraiths are returning to Kings Canyon.\u201d Jokes aside, Reclaimed Forest is one of the parts of the original map that has undergone some changes just from players being away at World\u2019s Edge. This area was once \u201cShattered Forest\u201d. Nature is continuing to take hold of the battle royale arena though, after Crypto destroyed the shield in Season 2. This means there are new areas to explore here, and a few new challenges. One big change is the entrance to Singh Labs. It has officially become a point of interest in the new season. Outside of that, Reclaimed Forest and its surrounding area is as per usual for the best drops: plenty of loot, and lots of ways to leave. So there you have it \u2014 five of the best places to land on the new-look Kings Canyon in Apex Legends Season 5. Of course, where you drop also comes down to preference: land wherever you think you and your squad like best! Is there a great place we missed?
