Apex Legends Season 13: Newcastle's Ultimate Gets Owned by Horizon?!
Apex Legends Season 13 Saviors brings thrilling gameplay changes, including a revamped Ranked system and the dynamic new legend Newcastle. Discover the chaos of Horizon's ultimate countering Newcastle's shield in this action-packed update!
๐ฅ The hype train for Apex Legends Season 13 Saviors has officially arrived at Thunderdome Station! With a revamped Ranked system, mutated Storm Point map, and the debut of shield-daddy Newcastle, Respawn dropped enough content to make even the sweatiest TTV wraiths pause their 360 no-scopes. But let's be real โ everyone's losing their minds over THAT Horizon vs Newcastle clip that's spreading faster than a Charge Rifle beam through open air. ๐ฑ
Newcastle: Hero or Walking Bullseye? ๐ก๏ธ
This season's Defender legend comes packing:
-
Mobile Shield (tactical): Deploys energy shield while moving
-
Revive Drag (passive): Saves teammates like a lifeguard saving kids in a pool
-
Castle Wall (ultimate): Leaps to create fortifications... or does it?
Initially, players thought Newcastle's ultimate made him immortal during the animation. But Reddit user Car0nix discovered a hilarious counter: Horizon's Black Hole! When Newcastle tried to slam-dunk his wall, an enemy Horizon sucked him out of mid-air like a vacuum cleaner grabbing a cockroach. The result? No wall. No cover. Just three embarrassed legends getting turned into death boxes. ๐
Storm Point's Wild Makeover ๐ด
The updated map now features:
| Location | New Feature | Vibe Check |
|---|---|---|
| North Coast | Giant Dead Sea Monster | "Is that Cthulhu's cousin?" |
| IMC Armories | PvE Loot Bunkers | "Titanfall 2 flashbacks intensifying" |
Seriously, that 50-foot carcass on the beach makes me wonder if Respawn's secretly developing an Apex x Subnautica crossover. And those IMC Armories? Perfect for when you want to fight Spectres and third parties simultaneously!
Why Season 13 Slaps Harder Than a Mastiff ๐ฅ
-
Steam player count peaked at 410k โ breaking last season's record
-
Mobile version launching May 17 โ because getting killed on toilet breaks is essential
-
Actual meta diversity โ except for Seer. Nobody likes Seer.
Personal take? The Ranked changes finally make grinding feel rewarding instead of like working overtime at a crypto mine. But watching Newcastle get yeeted by Horizon's ult? Pure serotonin. 10/10 would meme again.

Whether you're here for the lore reveals (Bangalore's brother?!), the juicy balance changes, or just to watch gravity grandma dunk on shield knights, Season 13 proves Apex still hits harder than a fully charged Sentinel to the toe. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got 27 death boxes to loot before the ring closes. ๐
