Apex Legends: Defiance footage breaks down Control Mode, Mad Maggie’s powers

gamepur.com:

Just a few days after the release of Apex Legends: Defiance’s launch trailer, developer Respawn Entertainment has dropped more footage that gives a sneak peek at its new domination-style game mode. Better yet, Season 12’s legend will apparently be coming into the game with a ferocious wrecking ball as her main ability.

The Season 12 preview examined much of the game’s incoming Control game mode, which revolves around two nine-player teams fighting for three different objectives while having unlimited spawns. In addition, the gameplay seemingly points to Control having several maps to play on and an in-game leaderboard.

New legend Mad Maggie also makes another appearance here, but with a much deeper insight to her various skills. For one, the Salvo solider is confirmed to have a brutal wreaking ball ultimate ability that speeds through the map to detonate enemies. She may also be the best character to use with a Shotgun, as it shows her Passive ability giving her more speed when carrying the weapon.

This latest reveal also shows off what appears to be a new underground location deep within the returning Olympus map, as well as the gigantic reactor that Mad Maggie infamously activated in Season 12’s launch trailer. It also seems that other returning points of interest will change, too, sporting more buildings and ziplines.

There is going to be much to witness when Season 12 and its plethora of new feature drops on February 8 for all of the game’s supported platforms.
