Apex Legends Season 19 launch date confirmed, Conduit abilities explained

eurogamer.net:

Apex Legends: Ignite, the 19th season of the ever-popular battle royale, will explode onto our screens with the brand new Legend Conduit next Tuesday, 31st October. The massive in-game storm at Storm Point has now cleared the map and things look a little different to how we remember it, meaning there's plenty of new areas to explore as you fight to survive.

First off, let's talk about brand new Legend Conduit. We now know more about her abilities, as well as how she came to get her equipment and suit. Conduit began as a fan of Apex Legends and is now stoked to be part of the Apex Games themselves — but she didn't join just for fame or fun, as she's got a family to take care of. She's described as having a good sense of humour and being fascinated with the tech used in the games.

An interesting fact for any Titanfall fans is that Conduit uses a radioactive battery from a modified Monarch Titan to power her suit and gadgets. She went exploring on a highly-radiated battlefield and came across the battery. She then stole it and uses it to take her place in the Apex Games — but at a cost. The battery itself is poisoning Conduit, and though we're not sure how this will impact her story as we move ahead, we're a bit worried about her long-term chances.

In a recent online press briefing I got to learn more about the thought process behind Conduit's design. The main point was that the Apex team wanted Conduit's outfit to reflect her backstory, with the idea that Conduit partnered with Lastimosa Armory to help build her exosuit, as the suit itself shares design similarities with Monarch Titans, as well as other Titanfall tech. This is combined with vibrant colours to reflect her excitement at joining the famous Apex Games.
