Apex Legends is finally getting in-game damage tracker in early Season 8 Respawn EntertainmentThe wait is over\u2026 Respawn is finally on the verge of adding an in-game Apex Legends damage tracker \u2014 one of the battle royale\u2019s most requested features \u2014 as soon as \u201cearly Season 8,\u201d the devs confirmed on Dec. 30. [jwplayer VEi3mnK7] A way to track damage in the middle of any given game has been one of the most requested Apex Legends features since Respawn first dropped the battle royale back in 2019. Fans have been fairly vocal about their desires too \u2014 all the way back in October 2019, players were demanding the Apex Legends developers get to work. Respawn has reportedly been hard at work on the feature since mid-2020. \u201cIt\u2019s on a list!\u201d McCord confirmed back in early October. Now, that wait is finally over; according to the Apex Legends design director, the heavily requested feature should be added to the game as soon as \u201cearly Season 8.\u201d \u201cIf you can wait like\u2026 one more week,\u201d McCord originally tweeted in response to a player asking how far away the Apex Legends feature was. The dev soon updated that prediction though, revealing it \u201cdidn\u2019t make the cutoff for this patch.\u201d \u201cI spoke too soon,\u201d he replied soon after. \u201cIt should be in early Season 8.\u201d What will Apex Legends damage tracker look like? Respawn has yet to unveil exactly how the in-game tracker will work, or what it would look like on the Apex Legends player HUD, but we can imagine it would be quite simple. Considering the popular battle royale already tracks every point of damage dished out by Apex Legends players across the game, and presents them at the end of the match, it\u2019ll likely just be a matter of slapping that on-screen in-game as well. Other similar titles, like Blizzard\u2019s Overwatch, don\u2019t show in-game damage on-screen in competitive matches. Instead, the stats can be found in the character select menu. Apex Legends may follow suit, adding it to the inventory page. As for when the feature will officially arrive, Respawn has only given us a vague date to go off for now: \u201cearly Season 8.\u201d The best bet on that front, then, is the second patch update of the year. The battle royale\u2019s eighth season is set to begin in early Feb. 2021. That seasonal swap over \u2014 currently penciled in for Thursday, Feb. 4 to celebrate Apex\u2019s two-year anniversary \u2014 will come with a huge Season 8 update; expect the long-awaited arrival of the in-game tracker to come bundled in that patch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
