Respawn Entertainment is set to launch a new update for Apex Legend Mobile this Tuesday, October 18. Said to be the game’s largest update to date, the patch will feature a new weapon and a new Legend in tow. Read further to learn more.
Beware of the Cold Hard Killer
Dr. Ashleigh Reid, otherwise known as Ash, is coming to Apex Legends Mobile very soon. After taking on a task that took her life, Reid was reborn as the cyborg Ash, with only the most negative things of the former doctor inside.
Her passive ability is called Marked for Death. This allows her to see deathboxes of Legends who have been killed recently. It marks attacking survivors on the battlefield as well. What’s good about this is that those who use Ash will know exactly where their allies were killed, thereby allowing them to revive their fallen comrades sooner rather than later.
Arc Snare, Ash’s Tactical, is where she throws a spinning snare that damages and tethers the first enemy that gets close to its trigger point. This ability is great for both offense and defense because it keeps trapped enemies at a fixed location, allowing Ash and her teammates to kill them easily from a safe distance.
Lastly, Ash’s Ultimate ability is called Phase Breach. When used, she opens up a one-way portal to a targeted location. This is a good thing to use when players want to escape their foes’ grasp. Alternatively, Ash players can use this to take their enemies head on, if they so desire.

New Signature Weapon
Aside from the new Legend, there will also be a new signature weapon in the upcoming patch for Apex Legends Mobile. The Constellation is Fade’s signature weapon. It has six levels and two deadly forms.
Players can unlock this by completing select missions and earning Signature Merits. This can be acquired by purchasing the Signature Tributes during special events as well.
So, what can you say about the upcoming Legend, Ash?
