We've seen a few game leaks over the last couple of weeks, but nothing compared to the new Apex Legends leak. A hugely detailed leak featuring new characters, new maps, new weapons and more hit Reddit this week.The leak reveals video clips and datamined text and shows off some of the new legends and their abilities.
One character featured in the leak is Newcastle, who the leakers believe will be a defence legend who can build fortified areas on the map. The text file reveals the other eight legends and a sneak peek at a new map called "Divided Moon," which hasn't been completed.
We've also got Crypto's future heirloom and one for Valkyrie.The files were hosted on various anonymous free hosting sites and are being removed one by one from some of the sites.
Here's a summary from Reddit user Darrkeng:
- "that's a lot... Will edit the comment on interesting stuff I see (so people don't spend time watching it and in case files are deleted): First video, showcasing new Arena maps: New arena maps, one seems to be almost finished, another not yet (gray surfaces)”
- 2 out 3 leaked guns shown: Nemesis B-AR and Fanatic energy pistol. Fanatic still uses RE-45 icon and P2020 model, Nemesis have own icon and low poly model Laser sight was spotted for R-99, takes place of barrel mod Nemesis burst fire, but can fire full auto after filling some kind of meter (damage perhaps)

Third video, comic:
- Chapter 7, I will not spoil anything (plus Chapter 7 alone wouldn't make any sense anyway)
4th video, Valk and Crypto heirlooms:
- Crypto's heirlooms already old news as we know, so I will nod add any additional comments (unless if I see something interesting).
- Addition: It does rare unique melee animation which involves hitting with Hack (Crypto's drone)
- Valk's, as you may know, is a spear, but it seems not just any speak, but yari (or, at least, inspired) which make sense considering her nickname (Valkyrie,who depicted with a spear) and being half japanese herself
- Spears models seems to be pretty raw, but some animations (running and attacking, one inspect) already in place
Files 5 and 6 are .txt, guess datamined bundles.
- Ill leave it to our local dataminers to dig, Im sure they find more interesting info than me
Video 7, new map - "Divided moon"
- Far from finished, full of grey and orange (yeey, Source trademark) surfaces, some areas look more finished (still need a lot of polishing and work with shadow/light)
- Seems like the map have monorail system similar to WE and it train, but monorail (or gondola? No idea, just rail around the map)
Video 8, new emotes:
- Ash 3
- Newcastle 4 (more evidence that he is next)"
