Apex Legends leaks reveal first look at Loba\u2019s brutal new finishers Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players may have finally gotten their first look at Loba\u2019s finishing moves, and if the animations data mined out of the code are anything to go off, the Translocating Thief could be one of the most brutal characters yet. Loba is on her way to Apex Legends. At this point, it\u2019s a matter of when, not if, the young wolf will arrive in-game. We\u2019ve already seen animations for her tactical ability. Teasers for the new legend may have already begun too. Her assumed cameo in Revenant\u2019s trailer all but confirmed her story would be based around bloodsoaked revenge. Now a number of data mined leaks, focused around her two finishing moves, may have revealed how brutal she really is. \u2018Point Blank\u2019 and \u2018Stomp\u2019 \u2014 Loba\u2019s finishers There\u2019s only one real reaction to the two leaked animations found in the code by popular data miner Shrugtal \u2014 ouch! While there\u2019s no Loba involved in the animations yet (there\u2019s no executor side of the finishers, unfortunately) you can still tell how they\u2019re going to play out. Shrugtal loaded up each victim animation with Wraith as a placeholder. The first, titled \u201cPoint Blank,\u201d depicts the defeated opponent crouched motionless. After a moment, they look up at where Loba would be standing \u2014 with a gun, no doubt \u2014 and the Young Wolf executes them with a headshot. The second seems even more brutal too. Dubbed \u201cStomp\u201d in the code, the leaked animation depicts the victim dragging themselves away from Loba. She then stomps their neck, giving it a final twist to clinch her kill, and their defeat. Once again, all you can say is: ouch! With the release of Revenant, many Apex players thought they\u2019d seen the most merciless character Respawn would release. Looks like that may change again in Season 5 after seeing Loba\u2019s finishers. It is also worth noting these animations are a \u201cwork in progress.\u201d With Loba still a ways off, for the time being, there\u2019s every chance Respawn could swap up how they want the finishers to look, Shrugtal told Dexerto after revealing the files. When will Loba finally be released in Apex? Respawn has stuck to their one legend per season release schedule so far, and they don\u2019t look like deviating from that any time soon. There was speculation the devs could shake off the slow rollout of their title\u2019s new roster additions. With the game undergoing a first-time mid-season split, many believed it could also mean a new legend added early. Unfortunately, the swap from World\u2019s Edge to King\u2019s Canyon in the ranked queue came and went, we still don\u2019t have our hands on Loba. What\u2019s more likely, unfortunately, is Respawn is simply planning their standard release plan. If that\u2019s the case, we can expect to finally get a good look at Loba in early May. Season 4 will finish up on Tuesday, May 5, and Season 5 is expected to launch \u2014 as per usual \u2014 right after Revenant\u2019s season is tied up with a bow. Loba\u2019s finishers aren\u2019t the only things Shrugtal has leaked from the Apex code files recently either. The popular data miner also lifted the lid on the upcoming Bloodhound Town Takeover, which is expected to begin from March 31. There\u2019s a possibility that new event is tied to Apex\u2019s first-ever Easter celebrations, but not everyone is convinced Respawn will be bringing a chocolatey change to the battle royale. On that front, we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
