This was unintended and has been fixed. A big thanks to all the players that grind the ladder and show us what high skill games of Apex Legends really look like. The main attraction of Season 3 is, of course, the new map, World's Edge, which sees the legends transported to an entirely new planet, filled with lava and ice.Before we get into the battle pass itself, there are four free rewards for all players, regardless of whether you buy the pass or not.
There is an alternative to not having to play for tens of hours, leveling up and getting all the rewards along the way.
All Boosted cosmetic rewards (excluding Apex Packs and content dropped from them) in the Battle Pass are exclusive to Season 6 and will never be available again. So it is possible to demote from Apex Predator back down to Master Tier as other players continue to earn RP ahead of you. One extra change to note is that moving forward, Dive trails will only be earned for the following season’s use, then they will expire (unless you reach the rank again that season). Once these limits are reached players will no longer receive RP loss forgiveness when abandoning a match, regardless of the reason for quitting. Players who earned any dive trail in Series 1 or 2 will be grandfathered in, and will keep the trails forever. Loss forgiveness when a teammate leaves or fails to connect is unchanged, and is working as intended.
Once Series 2 starts at the launch of Season 3, players will see their ranked position undergo a "soft reset," which will drop them 1.5 Tiers down from their current position. So we’ll be adding a new tier between Diamond and Apex Predator called Master Tier. However, from here onward, dive trails will be temporary for all future series. Master Tier and Apex Predator Tier will both use the same entry cost and reward the same points.We have, however, adjusted assists. Ranked rewards will be granted for the highest tier achieved in either split of the series, but exclusive animated badges will be granted if you can make it to the same tier both splits.The soft reset will stay the same for Season 4.
The soft reset will stay the same for Season 4. This reset will now occur at each split as well.At the top end of the competitive ladder we’re seeing many more players make the climb into Apex Predator. We currently plan for a set of 4 dive trails that return in a cyclical fashion every year, so for example, players can get the chance to earn the same dive trails in Ranked Series 3 and in future Ranked Series 7 a year from now, while another set will be available to earn for Ranked Series 4 and Ranked Series 8, and so forth. Season 3 Battle Pass. Kill scoring and placement scoring will remain unchanged. The RP required to make it to Master Tier will still be 10,000 RP as Apex Predator was. The exception will be for anyone who earned a dive trail in Series 1 or 2, those players will keep those trails forever.Each Ranked match will use the same RP cost to play based on your tier, with Master Tier being the same as Apex Predator:We won’t see any large changes to the scoring system. Apex Legends Season 3 started October 1st and brought even more changes than we covered in the last article. A persistent internet connection and EA account required. This is to help alleviate the visual space when everyone is dropping to the map, because as it stands now there would eventually be too many trails and they would lose their meaning. That means if you ended Season 3 in Gold II, you’ll be reset to Silver IV. This will help ensure that when you see a dive trail, you know that player just hit that rank last season. Next, before Season 4, when a player finished using a healing item (e.g. Therefore, once you get to Platinum and higher, you can only party with players 1 Tier different from you. We’ll continue to evaluate and improve Ranked Leagues, but we’re happy with the progress so far.
