In case you didn’t know, Respawn Entertainment announced that a new legend (Conduit) is coming to Apex Legends in the game’s Ignite update slated to drop this October 31. Of course, the big deal with each new legend is what they can do, and thankfully, we don’t have to wait, as the Apex Legends Conduit abilities have been revealed by the studio.
Check out the new legend can do alongside our first gameplay look.
Apex Legends Conduit Abilities:
Passive: Savior’s Speed
When her allies are out of range of her tactical, Conduit will get a boost of speed to run towards them. The one teammate who runs off after looting for 5 seconds? Not for long. Teammate out of position during a fight, but not close enough to use her tactical? Not a problem.
Tactical: Radiant Transfer
When Conduits teammates are low on shields, she can send a burst of energy, allowing teammates to escape risky situations by providing them with temporary shields.
This boost of energy will only be applied to the the current level of evo shield, so if someone has blue evos, they can only have a max of 75 shields. If someone has a blue evo with 50 shields, it will only apply 25 extra shields.
Ultimate: Energy Barricade
Upon activation, Conduit deploys an array of shield-jamming devices that damage and slow enemies. They can be used to escape risky situations, or to cut off an enemies escape and force them to fight.
Alongside Conduit’s abilities, Respawn has also confirmed that Apex Legends cross-progression is incoming with Ignite! Read on for more the details.
Apex Legends Cross-Progression:
With the launch of Apex Legends: Ignite we are excited to be bringing Cross Progression to Apex Legends™. Cross Progression will be rolling out across existing platforms, and players will be phased in over a period of time in order to ensure stability for this anticipated feature.
Keep an eye out for an in-game prompt to initiate the migration to bring together your content and progression. Cross Progression data will be associated with your EA account. Due to the nature of merging accounts across platforms, various aspects of Apex Legends (Apex Coins, Crafting Materials, etc.) will be impacted differently—see tables below. Anyone that does not log in during the migration period will have their account migrated automatically at a later date.
Note: to prevent exploitation, any secondary Apex Legends accounts created after Oct 26th for the same EA account, will not be eligible to be merged.
CONTENT & COSMETICS
Unlocked Legends and inventory will be the same across platforms except for platform exclusives, including gifted items.
| Limited to PlayStation |

PS+ and Xbox Gold items may be similar, they will be limited to the platform they were earned on unless they were earned on both platforms.
Note: the current Apex Legends EA Play Subscription Rewards must be redeemed by October 31, 2023. They will not be available after this date in preparation for Cross Progression’s launch.
