Fans of the popular battle royale game have been anxious to get their hands on the second season of the title since Season 1 ended on June 18, with some huge improvements on the way that should freshen it up after a disappointing first season.
The second season, which is titled "Battle Charge," will continue the overarching storyline of the game, with Leviathians and flyers invading the island following an EMP which destroyed the repulsors which kept them at bay. Wattson will also be introduced as the latest Legend to take to the battlefield in search of victory.

Season 2 is changing the game.
New Legend - Wattson
Just like the first season, Apex Legends Season 2 kicks off with a brand new character added to the game in the form of Wattson. The mastermind behind the arena in which the Legends do battle, Wattson uses electricity as her main weapon.
While Wattson can use the power of electrical currents to do damage, her main role is as a support character, with her ultimate ability allowing her to place a pylon that repairs damaged shields on her teammates. Her tactical ability also lets her place an electrified fence, which slows down and damages her opponents, putting a dangerous barrier between her team and their enemies.
Wattson's full abilities are:
- Tactical Ability: Perimeter Security - Connect nodes to create electrified fences that damage and slow enemies.
- Passive Ability: Spark of Genius - Ultimate Accelerants fully charge your Ultimate Ability, and standing near interception pylons boosts your Tactical Ability recharge.
- Ultimate Ability: Interception Pylon - Place an electrified pylon that destroys incoming ordnance and repairs damaged shields as long as it stands. (Max: 3)

Apex Legends Season 2 Battle Pass
Many would agree that Season 1 had a pretty underwhelming Battle Pass, and Respawn worked as hard as possible to make sure fans were more excited by the second version by ramping up the cosmetics found inside.
A major part of these improvements includes daily and weekly challenges. Much like rival game Fortnite, players will receieve brand-new challenges daily, alongside a number of weekly challenges that will be more challenging to complete than the daily ones, but provide a greater reward for your efforts.
The developers also confirmed that the Season 2 Battle Pass will take less time to max out at Level 100, making it easier to receieve one of the three legendary skins that will be found in the Battle Pass.

Apex Legends Ranked Leagues
A major change going into Season 2 is the implementation of Ranked Leagues. Designed to reward players who are eager for a more competitive Apex Legends experience, players will be placed into one of six Ranked Leagues depending on their performance in-game, and can be promoted or relegated based on wins, kills, and score from matches you play.
The lowest rank in the game is Bronze, with the best labelled as Apex Predators. Players will be placed in matches with opponents of a similar level, so you won't have to worry too much about facing the game's greatest players if you find yourself struggling away in Bronze.
Ranked Leagues kick off as soon as Season 2 launches, so players wont have long to wait until they can test their mettle against opponents.
