Apex Legends won\u2019t add more \u2018big\u2019 legends like Caustic & Gibraltar for one key reason Respawn\/EAApex Legends dev Daniel Z Klein has explained why Respawn Entertainment haven\u2019t added another Gibraltar-like big sized legend to their battle royale, and probably won\u2019t moving forward. One of the biggest things that sets Apex Legends apart from its battle royale rivals is the fact that you are able to choose a character with unique abilities rather than just dropping in, finding loot, and trying to survive. As the seasons have gone on, some legends have gotten stronger than others thanks to regular buffs and nerfs, but there hasn\u2019t been a big legend like Caustic or Gibraltar added since the start of the game. Octane, Horizon, Crypto, Revenant, Wattson, and Rampart are all somewhat similar in stature. Some players might want bigger legends, but that\u2019s unlikely to happen as we move forward into future seasons. Daniel Z Klein, the lead game designer at Respawn Entertainment, fielded a number of questions about Season 8 on the Apex Legends subreddit when the topic of hitboxes came up. Some players would rather every character have the same hitbox, and while that is probably preferable in terms of gameplay, Klein explained that it probably won\u2019t be the case. \u201cListen. If we were developing Apex today, I\u2019d be like \u201cEVERYONE IS ON THE SAME SET OF HITBOXES, MAKE IT WORK\u201d. Unfortunately, that\u2019s not the world we live in. You may have noticed we haven\u2019t shipped another legend on a large hitbox; there\u2019s a reason for that,\u201d he commented. \u201cUnless we find a way to shrink Gibby and Caustic visually in a way that\u2019s not super derpy without having to redo all their skins and animations (and probably do the same for our tiny legends), I don\u2019t see us realistically moving to the same hitboxes for everyone, as preferable as that would be.\u201d Comment byu\/flawzies from discussion inapexlegends Obviously, some fans will likely still want to see bigger legends, as well as a one size fits all hitbox, but that\u2019s just not going to be the case anytime soon. A lack of additionally bigger legends will only help Caustic and Gibraltar stand out from the crowd, figuratively and literally, but it also probably means they\u2019ll get some love when it comes to buffs in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
